Georgia Voter Suppression Law (Consolidated Case)

In re: Georgia Senate Bill 202

Filed: December 22, 2021

Consolidated lawsuit consisting of six lawsuits against Georgia’s voter suppression law, Senate Bill 202. The court consolidated the following cases after finding that they “involve virtually identical defendants and mostly the same facts and legal issues:” New Georgia Project v. Raffensperger, Georgia State Conference of the NAACP v. Raffensperger, Sixth District of the AME Church v. Kemp, Asian Americans Advancing Justice Atlanta v. Raffensperger, Concerned Black Clergy v. Raffensperger, United States v. Georgia. All filings for these lawsuits will be on this docket moving forward. On Aug. 18, a federal judge denied the plaintiffs’ request to temporarily block the line-warming ban in S.B. 202. Litigation is ongoing.
