The 2018 midterm suppression case goes to court
A lawsuit on voting rights filed three years ago by then-gubernatorial candidate Stacey

US District Judge Steve Jones announced on Monday that the proceedings could begin on Feb. 7, 2022. “My first goal is to ensure both sides have a fair trial,” he said. “We need to bring this case to closure.” Fair Fight Action CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo added, “We look forward to continuing to share the stories of the unconstitutional barriers they have faced resulting from the malfeasance and deliberate indifference from the secretary of state.” atlantadailyworld.com
