New Georgia Project Responds to Cobb County’s Hearing on Disqualifying Thousands of Voters
December 18, 2020 Atlanta, GA – In response to an effort challenging the eligibility of more than 16,000 voters in Cobb County, and in advance of today’s hearing of the Cobb County Board of Elections and Registrations, Nsé Ufot, CEO of the New Georgia Project, released the following statement:
“Early voting has begun, and Georgians are casting their ballots in near record numbers. These voter challenges are just back door attempts to purge Cobb’s voter rolls. Any effort to disqualify eligible voters from making their voices heard will not be quietly tolerated or permitted. Not now, not ever. NGP has, and will continue to stand up for Georgians’ right to participate in our elections free of suspicion or hassle.”
