Last Saturday Garland and Tamara Favorito reported on the final days of this year’s legislative session and the election integrity bills that passed: SB189, HB1207, HB974 and SB212.  Check out VoterGA’s press release on these new bills.  We were joined by attorney David Oles who updated us on new events in Catoosa County where a judge attempted to force the Catoosa County GOP’s leadership to accept incumbent candidates whose official actions do not uphold the party platform and threatened the leaders with fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars for not complying with his dictates.

With Sine Die for this legislative session coming up on March 28, Garland Favorito gave the last legislative update before the session’s end. He reviewed the election integrity bills that were discussed last week and VoterGA’s legislative plan until the end of the session.  HB974, HB976, HB1207 and SB189 would advance six election integrity priorities.  The House Bills have passed the Senate Rules committee. Please call the House Rules committee and express our support for SB189.  Start with House Rules chair Butch Parrish at (404) 656-5141 if you don't have time to call all the committee members. 

Garland also presented his deep dive into the the facts presented towards Fani Willis disqualification (click for slides).  Use the link below to view the March 23rd Election Integrity Update if you missed it or want to share with friends and family.

On last Saturday’s Election Integrity Update, attorney Catherine Bernard provided an update on the Fani Willis disqualification hearing and the RICO cases against the 18 political indictees perscuted by her office. Given Judge McAfee’s ruling in the disqualification hearing, House Resolution 872 to impeach Fani Willis is more important than ever. Contact your Representative today to urge a vote on HR 872 and share it with your concerned friends. 

Bernard also detailed the Catoosa County GOP case where a judge attempted to force the primary ballot qualification of candidates who do not agree with the party’s platform. Visit the GiveSendGo page for chairwoman Joanna Hildreth for updates and to give towards the party’s legal expenses.  

In addition, Tamara Favorito updated us on the election integrity legislation to be heard in committee meetings this week.  In order to make ballots public records for election auditing purposes this year the language from either SB 122 or HB 426 must be added to an active election-related bill this legislative session. Please act now!  The General Assembly is in session until March 28.  Click here to contact Georgia's legislative leadership, the Governor, and the Secretary of State to urge them to unseal the ballots!  

Jason Boyce wrapped up the program by addressing the threat of “worker housing” legislation to rural communities (click here for his presentation file).
