AP: Georgia Supreme Court overturns some election rules, curbing State Election Board’s power [[link removed]]
A great update from Georgia, John: Georgia’s highest court overturned four rules passed by the State Election Board just before last year’s general election, ruling the board overstepped its authority and intruded on lawmaking power reserved for legislators under the state constitution.
To refresh your memory: The State Election Board passed a slate of controversial new rules in August and September, including requirements that ballots be hand-counted after the close of polls, that someone delivering an absentee ballot in person provide a signature and photo ID, that county election board members be allowed to conduct a “ reasonable inquiry ” before certifying results, and that county election board members be granted broad access to election-related documents.
These new rules brought an outcry that the board’s majority was trying to improperly use its power to help MAGA candidates and follow disproved conspiracy theories about our elections.
The state Supreme Court’s unanimous decision to overturn these highly partisan, suppressive rules limits the ability of the State Election Board and other executive branch agencies of Georgia’s government to try and put their fingers on the scales and tip elections their way.
We know this isn't the end of voter suppression in Georgia, John. Chip in $25 or whatever you can today to provide the resources we need to defend our right to vote in the states like Georgia, in the courts, and beyond >> [[link removed]]

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
