ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp signed legislation Tuesday that makes additional changes to Georgia’s election laws ahead of the 2024 presidential contest in the battleground state, including defining probable causes for removing voters from the rolls when their eligibility is challenged. Republican activists — fueled by debunked theories of a stolen election — have challenged more than 100,000 voters in the state in recent years.
” “By signing SB 189 to become law, Brian Kemp delivered a gift to MAGA election deniers,” the group said in a statement. Andrea Young, executive director of the ACLU of Georgia, called the bill a “step back for voters’ rights and voting access.” “We are committed to protecting Georgia voters and will see the governor in court,” she said in a statement. An email to a spokesman for the governor’s office, Garrison Douglas, was not immediately returned.
