The NAACP has filed its fourth lawsuit in Georgia to protect thousands of voters’ access to the Ballot Box come Nov. 5. According to a press release, on Wednesday, the Georgia State Conference of the NAACP filed a Motion to Intervene (MOI) in Quinn v. Raffensperger within the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division. The suit claims that Quinn’s attempts to purge voters from the rolls directly violate the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
“Any attempt to revoke our access to the ballot box is an attempt to regress our nation’s progress,” said NAACP President & CEO Derrick Johnson. “ We’re not going back. The NAACP is proud to continue supporting our units across the country as we fight to ensure that every eligible voter is able to cast an effective ballot in the 2024 election. It’s about time that democracy works for everybody.”
Earlier this week, the NAACP National Office also supported its Georgia State Conference in filing a motion to intervene (MOI ) in state court, seeking to halt the attempted purge of 5,000+ voters in Dekalb County ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
