GOP-led Georgia House passes sweeping elections bill that would limit voting access

3. What are they prohibiting with "outside election funding by nonprofits"?

I answered my own question, I think, after finding information on another site.

“House Bill 531, which passed 97-72 Monday, would also strip the secretary of state of his role as chair of the State Election Board, prevent county elections offices from receiving direct grant funding, shorten Georgia's runoff election period and require counties to add more staff, equipment or polling places in large precincts with long voter lines.” https://news.wfsu.org/npr-news/2021-03-01/georgia-house-passes-elections-bill-that-would-limit-absentee-and-early-voting

Preventing county elections offices from receiving direct grants may be a shot at Stacey Abrams and her work at the local level to get people registered. If counties have too few staff to register voters, then no voters get registered.

Also, preventing any outside funding also hits hard at her statewide work because much of that was funded by donations outside of Georgia. In effect, they would be shutting down voter registration efforts, and given that Republicans came up with this bill I assume that is their goal.
