This is State Senator Fran Millar (R) of Dunwoody GA and he is fighting a plan that would allow Sunday voting in his district. Why? Let's allow the senator to explain in his Facebook post from 9/9/14:
("AJC" refers to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a prominent local newspaper.)
Notice the portion I highlighted? Sen. Millar is concerned that Sunday voting will be too convenient to African Americans.
But that's not all. In the comments section, Sen. Millar added this nugget:

Man, my ears are hurting from all the dog whistles going off!
Sen. Millar is a classic example of bigotry in action... something that is all too common.
