Common Cause Georgia Opposes Newest “Omnibus” Voting Bill
Common Cause Georgia opposes the bill because it “burdens access to the ballot for valid Georgia voters, disproportionately voters of color and low income voters, and it strips local election authorities of tools they need to effectively administer elections,” according to Common Cause Georgia Executive Director Aunna Dennis.

Common Cause Georgia Opposes Bill to Create Unlimited Political “Slush Funds”
SB 221 would create a huge loophole in Georgia’s current campaign finance limits, by allowing unlimited donations to a new type of political committee -- controlled by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and legislative leadership. It would allow big corporations and out-of-state big money donors to buy our elections.

Jim Crow Echoes in Georgia Legislature’s Voting Restrictions
Georgia Republicans didn’t like the results of the 2020 election so they decided they would try to dictate who they will let vote and who they won’t let vote. Republican legislators have deliberately targeted Black and brown Georgians with a disgraceful string of bills that harken back to the dark days of Jim Crow in Georgia. If anyone has any doubts whatsoever about the racial targeting of this proposed legislation they need look no further than its ban on weekend early voting which will end Souls to the Polls, the longstanding tradition...

Los proyectos de ley anti-votantes están 'avanzando a toda velocidad en el proceso legislativo'
Nuestro país se encuentra en medio de un movimiento por la justicia racial. Ahora no es el momento de tomar el sistema de votación de los republicanos de 2005 y agregarle ataques draconianos al acceso a las papeletas electorales que afectarían desproporcionadamente a los votantes de color. Los votantes soportan suficientes cargas tratando de hacer oír su voz. Los legisladores deberían dejar de intentar marginar a los votantes a los que se supone que deben servir.

Georgia Legislature considers bill to ‘undermine the absentee voting system created by then-Governor Sonny Perdue’ in 2005

Common Cause Georgia Honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. King would remind us that “disfranchisement is the main instrument for perpetuating racial injustice.” The lines at Georgia’s polling places, back in June, showed the entire country that racial disparities in voting access are still real. Access was improved in the November and January elections, but some voters still faced barriers.
