Section 2 says once harm has been committed you have the ability to argue that it shouldn't be repeated.

In the State of Georgia, if you are African American, you are more likely to face long lines, sometimes to the level of 4 hours.

Georgia must maintain an accurate, functioning voter registration list.

Georgia should be compelled to replace insecure and unreliable voting machines with paper ballots.

Our goal is to reform Georgia's election management system by ensuring that voters who are duly eligible to register are not unfairly blocked or unfairly thrown off the rolls.

That is fundamentally what democracy is about, speaking for the people.

Registrations increased despite his behavior, not because of it.

Voters should be able to fully participate in lawful processes, such as absentee ballots.

What is so pervasive in the State of Georgia with regards to diminishing the right to vote was that it was the Secretary of State who had almost unilateral authority.

the only reason we were able to in 2016 file suit to discover his illegal, what we would say is unlawful use of the exact match system.

In the State of Georgia, the Shelby decision did have a very insidious effect.

We must have a system that allows for paper ballots and for hand counting of these elections, because machines are insufficient to guarantee access to the right to vote in the State of Georgia.

I am deeply concerned about the impact on our democracy if action is not taken immediately to support access to voting rights for all eligible citizens.

We do not have an auditable trail in Georgia. We cannot audit our elections. We cannot prove that the votes cast are the votes counted.

It is not simply a chilling effect; it is an intimidation effect and what we have to understand is these are Georgians, these are American citizens whose lawful right to cast a ballot has been constrained by his behavior.

Kemp's eight years as the states chief elections officer resulted in systemic disenfranchisement, disinvestment and incompetence.

Stacey Abrams calls her opponent's investigation into Georgia's Democrats a witch hunt.

First of all, it's an unreal investigation. What has happened is that Brian Kemp, once again, is trying to cover up for his failures in cybersecurity by blaming someone else.
