A weekly wrap-up of all things election integrity.
STATE FOCUS: GEORGIA
Across our country, election reform bills are being lobbied, drafted, and passed by legislatures. It is no secret that there has been an enormous amount of outrage and backlash by those in opposition. However, it is important to actually take the time and thoroughly read through the provisions being suggested as the truth within these bills are not being echoed by mainstream media. These bills aim to verify, protect, and secure one of our most sacred rights as Americans, the right to vote. Georgia’s House and Senate omnibus bills are prominent examples of election reform bills that to protect and secure, not suppress, your vote.
