Defenders Of Democracy

Our allies at VoterGA.org have been preparing for two years for the hearing that Judge Michael D. Johnson will preside over on Monday Sept. 8 at 2:30pm in Fulton County Superior Court, in Room 8B at 185 Central Ave, downtown Atlanta, approximately two blocks south of the Underground Atlanta and the Five Points Marta station. 

We need you there to show support for our fair elections case in court, and to prevent the powerful electronic voting lobby from applying pressure to the judge to dismiss this case, despite the evidence favoring a judgment in VoterGA's favor to declare electronic voting unconstitutional.

The VoterGa.org suit can benefit all nine million current and future Georgia voters. It contends that our current electronic voting method is illegal and unconstitutional according to state law.  A review of the case's legal arguments includes astonishing facts regarding our voting machines' machine inaccuracy, recount-ability, improper certification, and lack of  ballot secrecy, as well as Georgia's illegal acquisition of these machines.   Constitutional challenges include counts regarding the legitimacy of an “electronic ballot”, people's participation in elections, equal protection, and due process. 

Please consider taking some time off from work Monday to bear witness to this historic occasion and show support for fair elections.  There are 72 seats to be filled in this courtroom and we need to fill them all!  Badges of support will be available at the entrance to the courtroom. 

Please send this message to your email lists, and to anyone who believes democracy is a core American value that is worth defending.   Thank you,
