Team,

A student who was getting ready to vote said he felt “accused of doing something wrong” and feared he wouldn’t be able to cast his ballot.

A veteran described experiencing “[p]ossible PTSD.”

Other Georgians reported feeling “overwhelmed” and “isolat[ed].”

And a woman testified that she was discouraged from voting.

All because they’d had their voter eligibility formally challenged ahead of the 2021 U.S. Senate runoff elections in Georgia — thanks to a far-right group called True the Vote.

Remember the context of that time period:

A massive, multiracial coalition of Americans had just turned out to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as president and vice president after Georgia had gone blue in a presidential election for the first time in 28 years.

The upcoming runoffs would now decide control of the Senate.

Right-wing, anti-voter extremists had just seen the power of the people, and they were determined to snuff it out.

True the Vote announced that they would challenge the eligibility of over 364,000 Georgians, ultimately challenging over 250,000 voters — disproportionately people of color.

Mass challenges intimidate eligible voters into silence, and this was the largest known incident of its kind in Georgia’s history.

The Voting Rights Act makes it illegal to intimidate or attempt to intimidate voters — so we sued True the Vote for violating this bedrock law.

Brave Georgians testified about how True the Vote’s challenges had a chilling effect on their ability to exercise the right to vote.

A federal judge said that True the Vote’s information “utterly lacked reliability” and “verged on recklessness.”

And next Tuesday, we’ll be back in court for our appeal in Fair Fight v. True the Vote — because this case is a defining moment in the fight against modern-day voter suppression and intimidation, and we’re not backing down.

Mass challenges may be more subtle than literacy tests or poll taxes, but they’re Jim Crow 2.0. They cause confusion, create fear, and suppress participation in our democracy. And Georgia law allows unlimited challenges by private citizens — a dangerous endorsement of a tactic used to target Black and brown voters without real evidence.

Now, this fight isn’t just about Georgia — since 2020, voter suppression activists have initiated mass voter challenges in at least 9 states.

And this fight isn’t just about one court case — it’s part of our broader strategy to protect the freedom to vote, from grassroots organizing to public education.

In addition, our case sends a message to other groups planning future mass challenges: we won’t let up in our fight to ensure voters can enjoy all the protections the law provides.

We won’t let reckless, racially targeted voter suppression tactics go unchallenged.

And we’ll keep shining a light on this key tool in the national voter suppression agenda — because that’s key to dismantling the anti-voter playbook.

In solidarity,

The Fair Fight Team
