True the Vote’s efforts to protect election integrity in Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoff elections won another federal court battle last night, with District Court Judge Steve C. Jones ruling against Fair Fight’s request to stop True the Vote’s work that simply follows the procedure outlined in state law. This ruling follows a separate federal court ruling that allowed elector challenges in Muscogee and Ben Hill counties to proceed.

These rulings affirm the truth that citizens play an important role in preserving election integrity by asking questions and challenging inaccuracies. Georgians owe a debt of gratitude to the registrars in Muscogee and Ben Hill counties who bravely told the court they’d discovered voters who had in fact moved out of state and were attempting to vote in this election – and would have if citizens had not submitted these challenges. And the Georgia citizens sued by Fair Fight were spending time with their families on Christmas Eve when they were served with court papers. They stood strong against these intimidation tactics and harassment.

True the Vote will continue its work in the Georgia elections, with additional hearings on voter eligibility scheduled.

Let the voters be heard. Let every legal, eligible voter have their vote counted. For this to happen, it is critical that those not eligible to vote are prevented from doing so. True the Vote – a completely citizen-led organization – exists for the purpose of championing voting rights, ensuring all law-abiding Americans have the tools they need to cast their ballot, and we are committed to that important work in Georgia and beyond.

To the legal Georgia voters who have not yet cast their ballots, your fellow Georgians are holding the line for you. Go vote Tuesday!

Thank you for being with us in this fight. Our work here in Georgia is only the beginning of our efforts nationwide to restore faith and confidence in our election system.

Onward!
