Frazier v. Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections
What's at Stake
The 老澳门开奖结果, along with several partner organizations, have intervened in this case to represent the rights of voters and voting-rights organizations in a case that asks a federal court to compel the purge of nearly 2,000 Fulton County, Georgia voters from the state鈥檚 rolls on the eve of a presidential election. The relief that the private plaintiffs seek is presumptively unlawful because this purge would happen within 90 days of a federal election, in violation of the National Voter Registration Act (鈥淣VRA鈥�).
Summary
On August 28, two Georgians filed a lawsuit alleging that the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections (FCDRE), its members, its Registration Manager, and Georgia Secretary of State Bard Raffensperger alleging that Fulton County has failed to conduct voter-list maintenance as required by the NVRA and by governing Georgia law. They also complain that certain voter challenges that they filed have not been set for hearings by the FCDRE. In addition, they ask the court to hold that removals based upon third-party challenges are not subject to the 90-day quiet period of the NVRA, which requires that a state complete any systemic list maintenance activities at least 90 days prior to any election for federal office.
The 老澳门开奖结果, along with the 老澳门开奖结果 of GA, Lawyers Committee, LDF, and SPLC, has sought to intervene in the case. We ask the court to reject the plaintiffs the relief seek, which would be unprecedented and in clear violation of federal law鈥攎ade more troubling in the eve of the November 2024 election.
