Christopher Bruce, ACLU of Georgia Political Director, To Testify at Public Hearing
Who
Christopher Bruce, political director of the ACLU of Georgia, will testify on SB241, an anti-voter rights bill that requires Georgia citizens to obtain a government permission slip to vote absentee.
Quote
“Instead of celebrating the historic turnout we saw during the November election cycle, some legislators want to require Georgia citizens to obtain a government permission slip in order to vote an absentee ballot. In addition, legislators want these citizens to get a witness signature - a chaperone if you will – just to exercise their sacred, legal right to vote. To make matters worse, this bill excludes ballot access for many citizens without an electronic scanner/printer at home. This is wrong,” said Christopher Bruce, political director of the ACLU of Georgia.“We encourage the Georgia General Assembly to stop these efforts that make voting burdensome. Instead, we encourage legislators to focus on protecting and expanding every Georgia citizen’s sacred, fundamental right to vote. That’s what democracy requires.”
