Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight organization filed lawsuit claiming that a conservative organization intimidated voters. According to court documents, Fair Fight says that Texas-based True the Vote came to Georgia to intimidate voters during the 2020 election.
The organization announced it was challenging the eligibility of more than 360,000 Georgia voters.
The suit says True the Vote intimidated voters by recruiting volunteers to monitor ballots cast at the polls and offering up to $1 million to pay the legal expenses of anyone who has to go to court to challenge voters’ eligibility.
The defendants argue that Georgia law allows citizens to question the voting eligibility of their neighbors.
The outcome of the trial could affect future eligibility challenges. If the judge sides with the conservative group, more like-minded groups might be inspired to request mass voter challenges. If the judge sides with the liberal group, people might think twice about doing so.
