Read for yourself 👇 or here's the summary:
SB 202 is an attack on Georgians’ freedom to vote that will dramatically reduce access to voting, hyper-criminalize voting and civic engagement activities and risk mass disenfranchisement of Black, Brown, and AAPI voters in Georgia.

1. Restricting Access to Voting: SB 202 restricts a voter’s right to cast a provisional ballot, significantly limits the use and availability of secure drop boxes, and creates new and unnecessary ID requirements.
2. Criminalization: SB 202 criminalizes handing out water or snacks to voters standing in lines, creates new sanctions for groups & individuals that encourage voting by mail & would allow children 13+ to be charged with a felony for witnessing a voter (parent) cast their ballot.
3. Increase Intimidating Challenges ("Voter Caging"): SB 202 allows individuals to challenge an unlimited number of voters and sanctions counties that won't comply. Before the runoff 350k+ voters were frivolously challenged, but they were largely rightly rejected by the counties.
In short: this is an antidemocratic bill meant to curtail access to voting for all but targeted at voters of color, so that the flailing GOP party can attempt to steal power rather than appeal to voters with real solutions. See @fairfightaction on how you can fight back.
