A voting rights campaign launched by Democrat Stacey Abrams is active in 18 battleground states — establishing voter hotlines and creating voter protection teams for the primaries in preparation for the general election.
"Every single vote counts," says Elaine Morgan Johnson, a poll worker from Macon.
"Most of us understand voter suppression as the 1960s images of billy clubs and hoses and dogs barking — aggressive interference," Abrams says."But in the 21st century, voter suppression looks like administrative errors. It looks like user error. It looks like mistakes. But it is just as intentional and just as insidious."
And courts have upheld the state's authority to purge the voter lists after Fair Fight sued, but other election-related lawsuits are pending.
