Friend,
This week the fight to protect the freedom to vote in Georgia is kicking into high gear with the sudden introduction of a new omnibus anti-voting bill (HB 1464).
We know why this is happening: In 2020, voters turned out in record numbers to make their voices heard. So in response, Republicans in the House Special Committee on Election Integrity JUST PASSED an extreme bill that will devastate election administration across the state and undermine our democracy. This bill is moving fast, and could go up for a floor vote as early as TOMORROW.
This new bill was sprung on committee members with barely any notice, and introduced less than one year after Georgia Republicans passed SB 202—one of the worst anti-voter bills in modern American history.
Please step up the fight with us and donate TODAY. [[link removed]]
This bill is an aggressive attempt to push anti-voter tactics during a crucial election year, and is a clear attempt to intimidate voters and election workers. The legislation also:
*
Bans
providing
food
and
water
donations
to
counties
for
voters
in
long
lines
*
Strips
crucial
funding
to
hamstring
already
cash-strapped,
overworked
elections
offices
*
Makes
election
administration
harder
while
making
it
easier
to
sabotage
election
officials
*
Limits
basic,
requisite
requirements
for
voting
machines
in
polling
places,
and
*
Could
lead
to
intimidation
of
voters,
counties,
and
election
workers
who
would
be
forced
to
comply
or
litigate
Even after Brian Kemp and his GOP allies promised not to push any new elections bills this year, Georgia Republicans are now trying to force through a substitute bill that they sprung on legislators mere hours before its first hearing. This shows just how underhanded and dishonest the Republican-controlled state legislature is willing to be in order to suppress the right to vote—at any expense.
We need to send Brian Kemp a message: Georgia voters will not be silenced. Anti-voter attempts to meddle in elections must stop. Join us and make a donation immediately to help us fight back. [[link removed]]
Help us fight back against this dangerous legislation and the flurry of harmful bills—more than 22 this year alone—that the Georgia legislature is aggressively trying to push through.
Georgians deserve better. But we can’t do this work alone. Please donate today. [[link removed]]
