In 2021, the state of Georgia enacted SB 202, a voter suppression law with provisions allowing state elections officials to usurp the powers of local officials, including the authority to purge individual voters from the list of active, registered voters.

In this 2024 case, two residents of Gwinnett County, the state鈥檚 second most populous county and part of the Atlanta metro area, brought a federal lawsuit to force a statewide purge of voters, based on a list of people the plaintiffs claim have moved out of the state.

In October 2024, the 澳彩开奖 filed a motion to intervene in the case on behalf of the GALEO Latino Community Development Fund聽and聽Common Cause Georgia. The motion seeks to dismiss the case on the grounds that the National Voter Registration Act prohibits systemic voter removal programs within 90 days of a federal election. The filing also requests a declaration from the court that mass challenges such as those filed in this case are unlawful within the 90-day quiet period before a federal election and that the Georgia secretary of state is prohibited from entertaining such challenges during that window.

The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division.
