Voting rights and community groups say their grassroots efforts to work around new voting restrictions were key to the relatively strong turnout in Georgia's election.
People wait in line to early vote for the Senate runoff election between Sen. Raphael Warnock and Sen. candidate Herschel Walker, Nov. 28, 2022, in Kennesaw, Ga., near Atlanta. Voters in Georgia appear to have navigated the strict election law passed last year by Republicans with little difficulty. But voting rights groups say it’s too soon to assess the full impact of the law, since it’s not certain how many voters may have been dissuaded from casting a ballot.
“Now there will be those both in our state, and across the country, who will point to our victory tonight and try to use it to argue there is no voter suppression in Georgia,” he said. “The fact that millions of Georgians endured hours in lines — and were willing to spend hours in line, lines that wrapped around buildings and went on for blocks, lines in the cold, lines in the rain — is most certainly not a sign voter suppression does not exist.
