In response to the widespread failure of state elections systems across Georgia today and former Secretary of State Karen Handel’s support for voter suppression laws in Georgia, DCCC spokesman Avery Jaffe issued the following statement:
“You should never have to bring a folding chair with you to go vote, but as Georgia’s former Secretary of State, Karen Handel helped create the broken system that lays at Georgia voters’ feet as they sit and stand in line for hours to exercise their rights. Handel has committed herself to a campaign of voter suppression and praises leaders in her party who regularly take steps to disenfranchise communities of color. Instead of campaigning for Congress, Karen should be out at the precincts tonight apologizing to the Georgians whose voting rights she’s trampled upon during her many years in office.”
