(Atlanta Journal Constitution) – Progressive voting rights group End Citizens United/Let America Vote is running a new ad in opposition to the latest Georgia elections bill, House Bill 1464. The 15 second-spot says Gov. Brian Kemp went back on his promise not to pass additional election laws after last year’s SB 202. The state House has signed off on HB 1464 bill, but it still needs approval from the state Senate before it lands on Kemp’s desk for his signature. The Republican-backed legislation would allow GBI investigators to initiate allegations of election fraud, restrict outside funding for election preparations and make paper ballots available for the public to review. Democrats say the bill would further tie the hands of local election officials, but Republicans insist the bill is still needed after the 2020 elections.
