Limits on drop boxes. New identification requirements. Restrictions on out-of-precinct voting. Voting rights advocates say a new Georgia law strikes at the political power of African Americans in a key battleground state.
African Americans in Georgia proved crucial to recent Democratic victories, helping the party win the White House and seize the majority in the US Senate. Exit polls show 88% of the Black electorate supported President Joe Biden last November. And in January, Democratic Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock saw even bigger support, capturing 92% and 93% of the Black vote in their runoff elections, respectively.More Related News
