ATLANTA – Today, Fair Fight Action CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo issued the following statement on the ruling from Judge Steve C. Jones that rejected the State’s motion to dismiss Fair Fight’s landmark voting rights case:

“This ruling is a significant victory for voting rights in Georgia and across the country. We are pleased the Court agreed to allow the case to move forward. Now, the Secretary of State and State Election Board must defend their actions that have taken away Georgians’ constitutional right to vote. We look forward to immediately beginning the discovery phase and learning even more about the many ways Georgians have had their votes suppressed, and we are hopeful that the case will result in meaningful reforms that improve our elections system.”
