Federal Judge Upholds Georgia’s Voter Integrity Law

A federal judge has upheld several parts of a voter integrity law that was passed in Georgia.

• Georgia SB 202 was signed into law in May 2021 by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp
• Third-party organizations are prohibited from sending absentee ballot applications prefilled with the prospective voter’s required information
• They are also banned from sending applications to prospective voters who have already requested an absentee ballot
• The application must include the disclaimer that it is NOT an official government publication and was NOT provided to you by any governmental entity

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Republican lawmakers in North Carolina and ruled they can intervene to defend the state's voter ID law from lawsuits.

• In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court made it easier for legislators to step in when other state officials decline to back election-related state statutes in court.
