ATLANTA — Voting rights advocates are warning that Black voters in a South Georgia county could lose representation on their local elections board under a bill advancing through the General Assembly.
The proposal is the latest attempt to change political power in county election boards across Georgia following the passage of previous bills that ended bipartisan appointments in several other counties.
The Georgia House voted mostly along party lines last week to replace the five-person Ware County elections board, which currently includes three Black members.
