WGA Hints At Repercussions For Georgia’s Film Industry Over New Voter-Suppression Law

Brian Kemp, includes provisions for strict new voter-ID requirements for absentee voters; prohibits election officials from mailing absentee ballot applications to all voters; sharply limits the number of drop boxes for ballots, and makes it illegal to offer food or water to voters waiting in line to vote. President Joe Biden has called it “an atrocity” and “Jim Crow in the 21st century.

“The fight to ensure that everyone can vote affects us all. Depriving one person of the ability to vote deprives all of us of true, representative democracy. Our government is better when it is shaped by all of the people, not just some of us. The voter suppression bill rushed through the Georgia legislature and hurriedly signed by the Governor does violence to these basic principles of democracy, and it cannot stand.
