Georgia Senate Republicans just introduced sweeping new voter suppression bill that repeals no-excuse absentee voting & requires witness signature + photocopy of voter ID for mail ballots. This is really ugly
1.3 million Georgians voted by mail in 2020, including 450,000 Republicans, but under new GOP bill you can only vote by mail if out of town, disabled, over 65, religious holiday or can't get off work. This is extremely restrictive legis.ga.gov/api/legislatio… 
The bill requires a witness signature for mail ballots, which only a dozen states mandate AND a photocopy of voter ID, which requires access to copier or printer. Ridiculous
Georgia Senate GOP voter suppression bill follows House bill eliminating Sunday voting when Black churches do Souls to Polls drives, which is being called "Jim Crow with suit & tie" motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
The explosion of new GOP voter suppression efforts in Georgia & elsewhere makes it crystal clear why Dems need to urgently pass John Lewis Voting Rights Act & For the People Act

"Many of our citizens have expressed a lack of faith and integrity in our current election systems" says statement from Georgia Senate Republicans. This is so disingenuous. They spread Trump's Big Lie & are now using it to justify new voter suppression
3 recounts in Georgia found zero evidence of fraud
Audit of 15,000 mail ballots in Cobb County found 2 mismatches signatures, 0 illegal votes
The only "problem" Republicans want to fix is too many Dems & Black people voting
