VOTER SUPPRESSION ALERT: Georgia Is Trying To Purge Black Voters Again
The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF) reports:
Because Georgia conservatives simply cannot win a fair fight, they are back at their favorite pastime: attempting to purge thousands of Black voters right before an election. Civil rights organizations are rushing into court to stop this shameless disenfranchisement scheme before 5,000 voters lose their fundamental rights.
DeKalb, Georgia – Today, the Georgia State Conference of the NAACP, New Georgia Project, Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda, A. Philip Randolph Institute, Common Cause Georgia, and League of Women Voters of Georgia, represented by Advancement Project, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Southern Poverty Law Center, NAACP move to intervene in a suit to protect 5,000 Georgia voters at risk of removal from the November election rolls.
They know they can’t win on policy, so they resort to administrative theft. We won’t sit back while they try to steal democracy from under us.
Help us keep exposing corporate greed. Chip in $5.
