ATLANTA: Voting integrity activists argue that several parts of Georgia s new election law criminalize normal election observation activities, while the state asserts that those provisions reinforce previous protections and are necessary for election integrity. US District Judge J.P. Boulee heard arguments Thursday on the activists request that he bar election officials from enforcing those provisions, but did not immediately rule on the request. Georgia s overhaul of election rules, like similar measures enacted this year in other GOP-controlled states, has received broad criticism from Democrats and others who say it makes it harder to vote, particularly for voters of color.
