Especially when those changes are so obviously geared toward stripping a Constitutional Office or power. The power the SOS has is vested in by the voters of Georgia. If the voters of Georgia have an issue with how the election was handled - they will vote him out. Political side-lining is one of the reasons that Georgia has as many state-wide officials who are elected as we do - SOS, Labor Commissioner, Sec of Ag., Public Service Commission, Attorney General, and State School Supt. - all of those were at one time appointed positions that are now elected state-wide. It allows the voters to hold those positions accountable instead of a singular party or powerful Legislator or Governor.
I do agree that the most impactful changes are with the SOS and election board stuff but while that probably has numerous cans of worms potentially does any of that do anything to restrict voting. I have no baseline knowledge of how this stuff works. I love a good healthy debate about this kind of stuff and if something is helping rig an election a certain way it certainly needs to be called out.

But we can't have the media spouting off about how untruthful Trump and how that riled up hate and punitive culture and then go and do the same thing here. Don't tell me you're going to make it better and then go make it worse.

Like this is equally stupid and is making it worse:
