federal judge control True the Vote's massive challenge to Georgia voter eligibility does not amount to illegal voter intimidation.
Fair Fight Action, founded by Abrams, was the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against True the Vote. Fair Fight Action said True the Vote's move to challenge the eligibility of 250,000 Peach State voters before the 2021 runoff elections violates the Voting Rights Act. The runoff elections ultimately resulted in the election of Sens. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), giving Democrats control of the Senate majority. Local election boards have rejected most of the voter challenges initiated by True the Vote.

“Today's ruling sends a clear message to those who seek to control the course of our country through law and intimidation. The American people will not be silenced,” True the Vote founders continued.
