A Massive Victory for Election Integrity in Georgia - Illegals Take a Hike

Georgia is a critical swing state that passed voter reform following the debacles in 2020 and 2022. Of course, liberals were horrified that illegal immigrants may be filtered out through a citizenship verification process.  The communist organizations the New Georgia Project, Common Cause Georgia and the Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda sought to again steal our freedom.

The case made its way to Federal District Court where Judge Eleanor Ross, an Obama appointee, granted the Georgia Secretary of State’s motion to dismiss.

The idea that non-citizens can somehow vote is simply not a reasonable interpretation of the United States Constitution – amendments extending voting rights expressly based those rights on citizenship, such as the 15^th Amendment, where it states:

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

And the 26^th Amendment:

“The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.”

The statement from the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger:

Atlanta – In federal court in the Northern District of Georgia today, U.S. District Court Judge Eleanor Ross granted Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s motion to dismiss all claims challenging Georgia’s citizenship verification process.

“Ensuring that only U.S. citizens vote in our elections is critically important to secure and accurate elections,” said Secretary Raffensperger. “Georgia’s citizenship verification process is common sense and it works. With this ruling, we are able to continue ensuring that only U.S. citizens are voting in our elections.”

The ruling in federal court today follows the ruling in favor of Georgia’s citizenship verification process in the Fair Fight Action case in 2022.

The case that Judge Ross dismissed today was brought by New Georgia Project, Common Cause Georgia, GALEO Latino Community Development Fund, ProGeorgia State Table, Asian-Americans Advancing Justice - Atlanta, and the Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda. It included claims that Georgia’s citizenship verification process violated the U.S. Constitution, the Voting Rights Act, and the National Voter Registration Act.

Judge Ross ruled in favor of Secretary Raffensperger on every count of their complaint, meaning that Georgia’s citizenship verification processes will remain in place for the 2024 election.

We can only hope that any appeal of this case fails on the same obvious grounds or is not in time for the coming election.  Whatever transpires, we will report to you further developments, but given the grounded decision came from an Obama appointee, it appears this outcome is on track to stand.
