Follow the Process of Georgia Election Litigation

The Coalition’s Home Page presents some additional details about its legal work to support Georgians’ fundamental right to vote, and the links on this Current Projects Page present recent court filings. Please donate to exclusively support our essential legal and forensic work.

The current focus of the Georgia lawsuit is the November 2020 General Election, for which advance in-person voting begins on October 12. See court documents related to this work under filing links on this page.

Previously and still of great concern, Executive Director Marilyn Marks found an additional disturbing effect of the already-alarming 127,000 missing votes in the November 2018 Georgia Lieutenant Governor contest: The votes disproportionately disappeared in precincts with voter registrations that were predominantly African American.

The Root broke the story on February 9, 2019, after studying our data and talking with experts: Exclusive: Thousands of Black Votes in Georgia Disappeared and No One Can Explain It

You can also see our Coalition for Good Governance report on the Executive Director’s discovery.

To date, the Georgia Secretary of State has obstructed all efforts to conduct forensic examination of these voting system anomalies. However, the Coalition is committed to finding the answers through the Georgia federal lawsuit to ensure that such misprogramming can be prevented in the future.

No other organization in the country is looking at the problem of electronic voting the way that the Coalition is. If you would like to support our work on this important issue, now is a good time. None of the three board members of the Coalition receive any remuneration. Donations go only to cover our legal and forensic expenses.
