Fair Fight Action Responds to Georgia Republicans’ Callous Attempt to Seize Control of Elections in Fulton County

  • July 29, 2021

ATLANTA — Today, Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Action issued the following statement:

“After giving themselves unprecedented power under Senate Bill 202, Republicans wasted no time in waging an anti-democratic, partisan power grab, attempting to seize control of elections in Georgia’s largest county, home to the greatest number of voters of color in the state. Their partisan efforts risk election subversion. The Secretary of State has repeatedly attempted to scapegoat a single county for his failures that have indisputably occurred statewide. A lack of resources and training, long lines, closed polling locations, erroneous voter rolls, a lack of bandwidth to check in voters and more are problems that go well beyond the boundaries of Fulton County. Raffensperger and his lieutenants have repeatedly told us that the 2020 election went swimmingly, including in Fulton County, and it wasn’t long ago that his office was defending the work of Fulton County elections officials. Now, out of political expediency, Raffensperger and other Republicans are orchestrating a coup of the Fulton County board — and citing the bogus claims of an actual participant of the January 6 insurrection as justification for doing so. It is unbelievable but expected behavior from Georgia Republicans who are determined to win at all costs as Georgians reject their failed leadership.”
