Protecting voting rights goes beyond making sure every eligible elector can vote. That's imperative! But we @CoalitionGoodGv focus on the next crucial step--making sure each vote counts accurately!

We are tiny but effective 501(c)(3) focusing almost all effort in GA now-- 1/
2/ Learn more Tuesday June 22 about why we continue to sue GA to ban the electronic touchscreen voting machines.
We're co-hosting national webinar bringing in USA's top experts. Public is welcome.

3/ We continue our long-standing litigation against SOS to get the touchscreens banned in GA.

We've proven to the Court that the system is deeply flawed, as was the DRE system banned in 2019.
See judge's order-- bit.ly/CGGOrderOct
4/ Our attorneys and experts have invested millions of $$ of their time in fighting the state re: the highly vulnerable voting system, trying to ensure evidence-based elections in GA.

We've only been able to pay a fraction of their fees and expenses. (Hint--we need your help!)
5/ We were compelled to fight the unconstitutional SB202 bill this spring.

We saw a gap that no other org was filling-- State's attempt to take over county bipartisan boards, and also block transparency and intimidate voters.

We organized and sued!

6/ We @CoalitionGoodGv cannot stand by and permit voters to risk being intimidated by being charged with a felony in the polling place just by looking around the room.

We asked Court for expedited hearing and preliminary injunction. bit.ly/CGGmpiMotion
7/ Our legal team answered the call again and got a court hearing for July 1 to ask the court to address voter intimidation, transparency shut down, and infringements on freedom of the press immediately.
Attend on Zoom.
8/ We're also challenging the new rule that ballot applications must be in 11 days before the election. In the case of runoffs, it makes getting a mail ballot impossible once runoff is official.

Next phase of case (not expedited) will challenge the state takeover provisions.
9 / And intense discovery has begun in our lawsuit against the state on the BMD machines as we will prove that they cannot be relied on to produce verifiable results.

Our experts are busy analyzing data for presentation to the court. Expensive work!

We need your help!
10/ That's a mountain of work for an org with 1 paid staff member--a research analyst just out of college. Rest of us are volunteers at @CoalitionGoodGv!
But legal costs are very expensive and are essential to our work.
Please support the righteous fight! bit.ly/CGGDonate

Confused about whether GA election outcomes were "audited" in Nov. and whether GA voting system can actually produce a verifiable result in the future?
Join the national forum on Tuesday at 12pm ET on the topic of touchscreen BMD voting systems.
conta.cc/3wAcYZC 1/
2/ Spoiler alert--As scientists have warned since 2018, the touchscreen BMD machines are not an improvement over the previous paperless touchscreen machines. Touchscreen voting cannot be protected from hacking and manipulation.

Register for forum and understand why.
3/ HB316 (2019) mandated touchscreen BMDs. It was party line vote. Dems voted NO, and R's voted YES for touchscreen BMDs.

Now @GaRepublicans have voted at convention to demand that legislature ditch BMDs and go to Hand Marked Ballots, reversing themselves on HB316--at last!

Press taking pictures like the one below is now illegal under #SB202. ( misdemeanor)
How will press react to this unconstitutional restriction during the upcoming private "audit."
We are suing to stop this infringement on First Amendment rights. 1/
2/ Read about this little known issue and our lawsuit.
3/ We hope that local media will address this soon.

Today we @CoalitionGoodGv filed a lawsuit against GA state officials to challenge some of the most egregious provisions of SB202--GA's new voting law.
Read about it here. conta.cc/3fscdtY
See why photos like the one below are now illegal. 1/
2/ Read about the most egregious voter intimidation tacit. Voters can now be charged with *felonies* for walking into a polling place and seeing a scene like this one taken by an AJC photographer.
3/ And learn about the assault on bi-partisan public election boards where the State Election Bd. can remove a county board for trivial reasons and appoint their partisan appointee giving him unilateral power.

GA voters (and press & non-profits) attending the Nov. hand "audit," and machine recount. Watch what a REAL audit looks like in NH, with experts managing, insisting on transparency.
Contrast NH with GA's post-election counts with NO transparency or accountability. Link 👇1/
2/ Link to forensic audit in NH.
doj.nh.gov/sb43/

Everyone knows what is going on at all times, and all questions are answered with patience.
@HarriHursti and @philipbstark in charge!
3/ In GA's post-election testing, all information went into a black hole controlled by the insiders, but press, public, monitors were not permitted to see any data, until the end when SOS and Sterling announced, "it's all good." 😡
That's no public audit!
But press accepted it.

I'm hoping that the now higher profile election for ATL mayor will cause candidates, city council and candidates focused and active to demand a verifiable election in Nov.
Using the un-auditable touchscreens is just begging for trouble and controversy. 1/
2/ The ongoing post-Nov. controversy, not nearly dead in GA, needs to be a warning to ATL. Using the same hackable BMD touchscreen machines is just crazy when the winner can never be confirmed, only assumed.

As well, touchscreens violate the voter's right to a secret ballot. Image
3/ ATL should lead the way in demanding no touchscreen BMDs in GA, and require hand marked ballots counted by scanners and then audited. (A real audit this time, not the nonsense purported "audit" conducted by @GaSecofState. )

We at @CoalitionGoodGv will advocate for that soon

It is quite disingenuous that SOS and Gabe Sterling are criticizing the AZ so-called "audit." AZ merits criticism, for sure, but GA's "audit" run by Gabe and SOS was also horribly non-transparent and violated virtually all fundamental audit principles. Pot calling kettle. 1/
2/ Yet, it seems by the comments on the thread that well-meaning people and press are fooled by the GA SOS claims.
The press irresponsibly failed to challenge these same types of audit principle violations when they happened in GA in the SOS audit.
3/ One reason that many grassroots Republicans are still suspect of the GA results is that GA played way fast and loose with "audits," and "recounts."
First, the GA results cannot be audited to determine whether Biden or Trump won.
Secondly, GA "audit" showed widespread errors.
