The cartoon depicts Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp with his head on a football player's body numbered zero, carrying a ballot box off a field while a larger voter figure in a Georgia helmet watches. Kemp's speech bubble states he cannot win so he is taking the ballot box and going home. The image responds to the March 2021 signing of Senate Bill 202, a sweeping Georgia election law that tightened voting rules including limits on absentee ballots and early voting access after the 2020 election. The visual metaphor frames the legislation as a retreat by Republicans unable to secure victories under prior rules.
