Georgians, we’re at a critical juncture for American democracy.

The Georgia State Election Board is proposing last-minute changes to election rules that could threaten our democracy & be used to undermine the results of Georgia’s 2024 election.

It's time to speak up! 📢⬇️
These proposed changes (the Heekin proposal is just one being considered) are being advanced with the support of GOP operatives.

They could delay or obstruct the certification of Georgia’s election results.

We can't stand by – we have to take action & make our voices heard.
🚨ACTION ALERT🚨Submit a public comment against the Heekin proposal that seeks to change our election rules.

The deadline is today at 12:00 PM EST. Email: SEBPublicComments@sos.ga.gov

Let the GA Election Board know you’re against changing our election rules.

Ohio Senator JD Vance represents the evolution of MAGA. He's the perfect pick for Trump for 2 key reasons:

1️⃣ JD is all in on MAGA's anti-voter efforts & false 2020 election conspiracy theories

2️⃣ As Trump's VP, JD could make Project 2025 reality

THREAD ⬇️
JD Vance pushes false conspiracy theories about immigrants illegally voting.

This Trump and MAGA conspiracy is seeing a resurgence nationally — in Georgia, we heard it at last week's State Election Board meeting from an "election integrity" activist.
politifact.com/factchecks/202…
JD Vance has consistently repeated Trump's lies about fraud in the 2020 election — and still, in 2024, he continues to spout disproven 2020 election conspiracy theories. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/f…

NEW: Yesterday, the MAGA-dictated anti-voting SB 189 became law in Georgia.

Building on the 2021 voter suppression law (passed because President Biden won in 2020), SB 189 was likely designed to support Trump's campaign by making it harder for Georgians to vote.

THREAD⬇️
SB 189 makes it easier for MAGA-conspiracy supporting vigilantes to challenge Georgians’ freedom to vote & potentially purge them from the voter rolls.

It makes it harder for unhoused Georgians to vote, allows hand-marked ballots & removes ballot QR codes.
The new law is likely designed to dissuade enough Georgians from voting to help Trump win — @GWLauren, Fair Fight CEO:

“Even if SB 189 has a marginal effect on voter turnout, it’s a win for MAGA – Trump knows just 11,780 votes can swing an election, especially in Georgia."

🚨 ALERT: Senate Republicans introduced shocking anti-voting #SB221, legislating intimidation, conspiracy & election subversion:
-makes mass voter challenges easier
-requires dangerous surveillance of voters
-targets election workers w/new felonies & misdemeanors
& more. Thread: Image
#SB221 is conspiracy as policy. Last year, GA conspiracy theorists challenged 92K voters. SB221 would lower the amount of proof required of challengers, force counties to consider challenges based on unreliable data, and undermine the NVRA. nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
#SB221 risks mass voter intimidation, suborned by groups attacking mail voters. It includes wide latitude for staff to confront voters they believe are "improperly" dropping off ballots — based on disproven allegations that led to threats against voters and dismissed cases.

Here’s what they’re considering:

SB 122: Would allow a flood of fake “audits” by conspiracy theorists, enabling bad actors to access ballots and placing new burdens on county workers who would have to contend with these requests while performing other duties.

🚨GEORGIA: Republicans are pushing forward with their latest anti-voting attacks and JUST PASSED their omnibus anti-voting bill through the House. #HB1464 would devastate local election administration and undermine our democracy: THREAD ⬇️ #gapol
Voters turned out in record numbers in 2020. In response, GA Republicans passed one of the worst anti-voter bills in the country. Now they're doubling down—trying to sabotage elections and ban donations to counties, even donations of food & water. #gapol
After Brian Kemp said that he would not support any new election bills this legislative session, Republicans are pushing #HB1464, an omnibus bill that combines many of the worst anti-voting proposals this year. #gapol
