How to Fight Back Against Controversial State Election Board Rule Changes
Kemp has sought clarification from Attorney General Chris Carr as to whether the governor has the power to take action against the board members, who Trump named and called “pit bulls fighting for honesty, transparency, and victory” during a recent campaign rally in Atlanta.
Fair Fight Action CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo says these rule changes could disproportionately impact Black Georgia voters. She added that people who oppose the rule changes are not powerless to stop them, and advocated for folks to contact Kemp’s office and let him know where voters stand on the matter.
“Call Governor Kemp and tell him to shut down the certification challenges at the State Election Board,” Groh-Wargo told reporters during a Wednesday morning press conference. “You can also submit public comment to the State Election Board, and we’ve been doing big pushes on public comment.”
Georgia residents can submit public comments for the next State Election Board meeting via email at SEBPublicCommments@sos.ga.gov. They can also attend the State Election Board meeting in person inside the state Capitol on Sept. 20........
Groh-Wargo said the most important move for voters to make this fall is to cast their ballots and tell others to do the same. She encouraged Georgia residents to participate in early voting so they have time to correct any problems they may encounter before Election Day on Nov. 5.
Voting rights advocates are encouraging voters to check their voter registration status often online and make sure they’re registered by Georgia’s Oct. 7 deadline. Early voting in this year’s presidential election begins on Oct. 15 and ends on Nov. 1.
