Raffensperger’s general counsel sent Factcheck.org a ‘legal analysis’ that attempted to discredit my analysis of the voter data. Election
integrity advocates recently had a very important win when a federal district court ruled that challenging the eligibility of thousands of voters in Georgia did not constitute “voter intimidation.” Back in 2020, True the Vote, Derek Somerville and I, and three other activists were all sued by Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight organization for allegedly violating the Prohibited Acts section of the Voting Rights Act. We had independently organized two different sets of challenges to voters with residency issues ahead of Georgia’s...

than three years later, as she makes another run at the governor’s mansion, the lawsuit is going to trial. Filed in November 2018 by Abrams’ Fair Fight Action organization, the suit alleged that state officials “grossly mismanaged” the election, depriving some citizens, particularly low-income people and people of color, of their right to vote.

“The Department of Justice is going to lose,” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told me during a Friday interview, referring to the Voting Rights Act lawsuit the Biden administration filed against Georgia a little more than a week ago. Georgia
has been vindicated by the Supreme Court, Raffensperger added, stressing in last week’s interview that the high court’s decision in Brnovich v. DNC rendered the DOJ’s claims frivolous.A thorough analysis of the Supreme Court’s decision in Brnovich confirms Raffensperger’s assessment. In that case, the court held that Arizona’s in-precinct voting requirement and ban on ballot harvesting did not violate...
