Partisan critics of Georgia’s elections described our processes and security measures as ‘ Jim Crow 2.0 ’ designed to ‘ suppress ’ voters and ‘ subvert ’ elections, but record-breaking midterm voter turnout, minimal voter wait times and an overwhelming majority of voters approving of how our election went prove that Georgia voters see through those lies. They know that Georgia elections are safe, secure and accessible to every legal voter.

It's not going to be tolerated by the communities that they serve.
