GEORGIA ENACTS CHANGES TO NEW VOTING LAW

0 comments

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 202 into law. The 95-page bill adds new provisions to state election laws. Kemp stated, “With Senate bill 202, Georgia will take another step toward ensuring our elections are secure, accessible, and fair.” Republicans believe the bill will expand voter access. However, many other people and organizations argue that the election changes violate the federal Voting Rights Act and the constitutional right of free speech. The Democrats have equated the new bill with “Jim Crow” laws and is more about voter suppression.
