BY: QUINN SCANLAN, ABC NEWS (ATLANTA) Republicans in the Georgia state House have introduced a 48-page omnibus bill that, if enacted, would make sweeping changes to the state’s election processes. Republicans on the committee argued the bill, which tackles multiple areas of election law, would help restore faith in Georgia’s elections, but Democrats and voting rights advocates blasted it as a “voter suppression bill” and questioned the motive behind the rush to bring it before the committee just hours after it was introduced. “This bill seems to offer solutions for a lot of problems that do not exist. It’s purportedly to enhance security and integrity, but … many of these provisions do not do that,” Saira Draper, the voter protection director for the Democratic Party of Georgia, said in an interview. “It imposes restrictions on all of our forms of voting in Georgia … but the brunt of the impact is felt mostly by our Black and brown voters.”
