Community and civil rights groups in Georgia, Texas, Arizona and elsewhere change tactics to help voters register and cast ballots amid new voting restrictions.
during the state’s March primary, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.
The Texas Civil Rights Project, a nonpartisan group that challenged the new law, spent much of a recent training session for lawyers on the law’s mail ballot identification requirement and the greater difficulty the law creates for removing problematic poll watchers. Georgia’s Senate Bill 202 — signed into law last year by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp — was one of the first voting measures passed after Trump’s defeat. In addition to making it a misdemeanor to hand out food or drinks to any voter standing in line, the law limits voters’ ability to cast a provisional ballot if they go to the wrong precinct. It also allows any Georgia voter to challenge the eligibility of an unlimited number of other voters within the same county.
Khondoker said the group will be “hypervigilant about election administration issues, disenfranchisement, criminalization of both voters and everyday good volunteerism activities.”
