Turnout in the Georgia general election was up more than 20% this year compared to 2016. The result? This week, Georgia lawmakers unleashed their voter suppression playbook
New proposals out of Georgia seek to restrict voting access by eliminating automatic voter registration, requiring photocopies of ID with mail ballot applications and ballots, and banning mail ballot drop boxes (to name just a few)
This is consistent with the backlash to voter turnout we’re seeing across the country, with more than 100 bills proposed to limit voter access https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/voting-laws-roundup-2021
Lawmakers justify these bills with baseless claims of voter fraud and election irregularities, even though courts and countless studies have repeatedly debunked those dangerous lies
State lawmakers should stop trying to shrink the electorate and start trying to win the votes of their constituents -- voters choose their representatives, not the other way around
