There are now 8 lawsuits challenging Georgia's voter suppression bill (SB202), including the new DOJ lawsuit.
"We are the only one addressing what we think is the most dangerous provision of SB202, the [election board] takeover provisions." - @MarilynRMarks1 #SB202 #gapol 1/
2/ You can listen to my full interview of @MarilynRMarks1 of @CoalitionGoodGv
here. We discuss her lawsuit challenging the takeover provisions and other aspects of SB202. Again, hers is the only suit challenging those provisions. The DOJ lawsuit does not.
3/ You can support Marilyn Marks's nonprofit, the Coalition for Good Governance (CGC), here. They are doing truly remarkable work. It was the CGC that obtained the landmark ruling that Georgia's old paperless voting machines were unconstitutional. coalitionforgoodgovernance.org/donate/
4/ This was the CGC's work. There is no other voting rights group like them. Please support them if you can. (I'm not a member, just a grateful supporter.) statescoop.com/georgia-paper-…
6/ “We are gravely concerned about the state's ability to take over bipartisan county boards.” - @MarilynRMarks1
7/ Correction to post 1. The Georgia NAACP’s lawsuit addresses the takeover provisions too. My apologies!

The DOJ’s voting rights suit against Georgia does not address the parts of GA’s new law allowing a GOP takeover of bipartisan county election boards. Thankfully, a suit filed by @MarilynRMarks1’s nonprofit @CoalitionGoodGv does address them. #gapol 1/
If you support @CoalitionGoodGv, it will help them fight the provisions of Georgia’s new law allowing a GOP takeover of bipartisan county election boards. I’m not affiliated w/ CGC; I’m just grateful 4 their unique & important work. TY! #SB202 #gapol 2/ coalitionforgoodgovernance.org/donate/
You can watch the full interview here. @MarilynRMarks1 describes how the takeover provisions can be abused and the bases for her nonprofit’s legal challenge. 3/

If Georgia’s new county election board takeover provisions concern you, pls support @CoalitionGoodGv, which is the only organization challenging them in court. Otherwise, we will likely be stuck with those provisions. Note that @ReverendWarnock is up for re-election in 2022. 2/

The DOJ’s lawsuit against Georgia’s voter suppression bill is crucial. But it does not address the election board takeover provisions. The only lawsuit that does was filed by @MarilynRMarks1 & her nonprofit @CoalitionGoodGv. 1/
For those who are interested in the legal grounds for her challenge of SB202 and related details, here is the full interview. In my opinion, her legal theories are brilliant. 2/

.@SemDems - This press conference seems important re: Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida’s failure to investigate crimes (including election crimes) emanating from Joel Greenberg’s tenure in the Seminole County tax assessor’s office.

This is a remarkable story. Miami Dade may not be the only Florida county in which the GOP planted a fake candidate to siphon off votes from a Democratic candidate for state legislature. It happened in Seminole county too. But the local prosecutor there won’t investigate. 😳 1/
Fortunately, @Scott_Maxwell and @orlandosentinel are on the case. I recommend following Maxwell and whatever he and others uncover in Seminole county. 2/
Seminole county is the county where the infamous Joel Greenberg (of Matt Gaetz infamy) is from. It appears the rot there may run deep and wide. 3/
