Court upholds key provision of state elections overhaul [Georgia]

ATLANTA – A federal judge has upheld a portion of a controversial 2022 Georgia election law dealing with absentee ballots.

In a 50-page ruling Monday, U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee declared that the state had a “compelling governmental interest” in restricting the distribution of absentee ballot applications by third-party voting rights activists. He ruled that the state was justified in enacting restrictions aimed at “reducing voter confusion, enhancing voter confidence and increasing electoral efficiency.”

The absentee ballot restrictions were part of a broad overhaul of Georgia election procedures the Republican-controlled General Assembly passed in 2021 after Democrat Joe Biden carried the Peach State’s 16 electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election. GOP President Donald Trump, nearing the end of his first term in the White House, claimed widespread voter fraud in Georgia, allegations that were never proven.

Senate Bill 202 also placed limits on the number of absentee drop boxes, imposed an ID requirement for voters casting absentee ballots, and prohibited volunteers from providing food and water to voters waiting in line at the polls.

Investigation was actively thwarted by the government.

“Voter fraud allegations that were never proven” and yet we all saw the video of Fanny Willis’s cousin (can’t remember the woman who broke Rudy) pulled out SUITCASES of ballots from under the table and resent them thru the voter tabulation machine.
