人兽性交 Condemns the Passage of Georgia鈥檚 New Anti-Voter Bill

础罢尝础狈罢础听鈥 Today, the听听(人兽性交) denounced Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp鈥檚 signing of Senate Bill 189 () into law. The bill鈥檚 provisions create significant challenges to voting rights and fair access to the ballot, while imposing administrative burdens on already overwhelmed election officials.

The passage of SB 189 and its provisions relating to voter challenges follow a troubling trend of lowering obstacles to mass voter challenges and emboldening right-wing activists who seek to overburden elections offices and prevent Georgia voters from having fair access to the ballot. This harmful bill also requires all advance and absentee ballots to be counted within a single hour of polls closing on election day.听

鈥淓lection officials already carry the huge civic responsibility of safeguarding our ballots and ensuring that every vote is counted,鈥 said听Courtney O鈥橠onnell, senior staff attorney for voting rights with the 人兽性交.听鈥淣ow, Gov. Kemp has further burdened them by enacting an election law that is responsive to baseless conspiracy theories.鈥澨

鈥淪B 189 green lights unsubstantiated voter challenges and creates further confusion for election administrators in resolving voter challenges,鈥澨continued O鈥橠onnell. 鈥淔urthermore, it targets unhoused voters by making them more susceptible to voter challenges and requiring them to make the county registrar鈥檚 office their mailing address."听

鈥淭he passage of SB 189 represents a significant setback in the fight for equitable and accessible elections in Georgia and a stark reminder that our fight for voting rights is far from over,鈥澨concluded O鈥橠onnell.听
