Georgia faces fifth suit challenging new voting law
The state of Georgia is facing another lawsuit against its new voting law from a coalition of voting rights groups.
The Georgia law, passed last month along party lines, imposes restrictions that voting rights groups say will fall most heavily on minorities. It sets new voter ID requirements for absentee ballots, limits drop boxes and even bars passing out food and water to those waiting in line to vote.
"Georgia's recent election experience demonstrated the overwhelming support for election laws that allow voters to cast their ballot safely and freely, whether they live in a small town or big city, so that every voice is heard and elections in the state reflect the will of the voters," Paul Smith, vice president for litigation and strategy at Campaign Legal Center, wrote in a statement Wednesday when the lawsuit was filed.
