Civil Rights

The Expanding the VOTE act would strengthen the Voting Rights Act and provide funding for critically-needed translations of election materials.

Voter Assistance is Available - “In our government ‘by the people’ we owe it to each other to make sure we all vote.”

The pending 2023 state budget still includes $579,936 for “four fulltime positions and operating expenses to investigate elections complaints” within the Georgia Bureau of Elections.

Right now, in Georgia, mere presence at the scene of a crime is not sufficient evidence to convict someone of being a party to the crime. But this bill seems intended to change that.

Just like last year, the process has allowed little or no public input -- because if you don’t have a lobbyist, it’s almost impossible to find out what’s going on. It’s both sad and ironic that a bill directly affecting our freedom to vote is being considered using such an opaque process. 

House passed “Elections Bill Sequel” late at night – Senate failed to pass campaign finance bill but did pass problematic First Amendment bill.
