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.
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.
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.
Yours in the Fight –
Team Fair Fight Action
