Democrats and voting rights advocates got another big win in Georgia as a federal judge has ruled that 3,000 naturalized US citizens must be allowed to vote:
The Campaign Legal Center tweeted:
The judge ruled:
Friday’s win comes after a federal judge put an end to the Republican attack from mail-in ballots that came from minority voters and Democratic areas of the state. Persistent fighting and never giving up is how voter suppression is defeated. As Oprah Winfrey said yesterday while campaigning for Stacey Abrams in Georgia, voters must turn out in overwhelming numbers too big to suppress.
Democrats are winning the fight for the right to vote in Georgia, and every vote is going to matter because the gubernatorial contest is coming down to the wire. Real Clear Politics has the election rated a toss-up, with the polling average showing that Republican Brian Kemp is up by 1.1%. A one percent margin means that every vote is critical, so 3,000 voters who are probably overwhelmingly going to vote for Stacey Abrams being allowed to cast their ballots is a major development.
The GOP efforts to suppress the vote are failing and their failure to a victory that will finally turn Georgia blue.
