Georgia State Representative Park Cannon Arrested for Knocking on Governor Kemp’s Door During the Signing of Controversial Voting Bill

Democratic State Representative Park Cannon was arrested on Thursday for knocking on Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s door; the proceedings happening in Kemp’s office were about new limitations on mail-in voting. The legislation will heavily impact Black voting in the State; as it seems to lean towards expanding access to in-person early voting, Cannon said she was arrested for “fighting voter suppression,” according to NPR news.
