John,

After the GOP lost Georgia in the 2020
presidential election, along with both of their U.S. Senate
seats, Republicans in the state quickly passed a law restricting
the right to vote throughout the state.

While in 2020 voters could request a mail-in
ballot up until the Friday before Election Day, under the new
law, voters must request their ballot no later than 11 days
before an election.

Republicans then tested this law in the very
low-key November 2021 municipal elections. A recent analysis
showed that more than half of the mail-in ballot requests were
rejected because they arrived after the state’s newly imposed
deadline.

By shortening the amount of time voters have to
request their ballot, and rejecting them for being late, the law
makes voting more burdensome. As a result, some people may not
vote at all, and that is exactly how voter suppression works.

When the Democratic majority took control of the
U.S. House, we made sure to pass bills that protect the ballot
box – and unsurprisingly, no Republicans backed us up. Now with
the midterm election months away, we are in danger of losing that
majority – but we can and will fight back. Will you contribute
whatever you can today so that my team and I have the resources
to continue defending the ballot box?

If half of mail-in ballot applications were
rejected during municipal elections, imagine how many more will
be rejected in November 2022 and November 2024.

And to just drive the point home at who is
targeted by the GOP: Black voters, who make up a third of the
electorate in Georgia, accounted for half of the ballot
rejections.

It’s 2022, and Republicans are trying to reset
the clock to 1922 when Black people’s right to vote was nullified
in the South by Jim Crow. We can’t let them take the House and
allow them to try to make their voter suppression policy federal
law. Contribute today and let the GOP know that you will not
tolerate voter suppression.
