Voting Rights Groups Sue GA Over Suppression Law

March 26, 2021 Republicans, Trump cultists

A lawsuit has been filed challenging Georgia’s new law imposing voting restrictions. The 35-page lawsuit has been filed by three voting rights groups claiming the law violates voters’ rights and will make it harder for lawful Georgia voters to take part in state elections.
