Bottoms: Trump’s Executive Order an Illegal Attempt to Restrict Mail-in Voting and Interfere in State Elections

Bottoms: ‘This Executive Order is an Illegal Attempt by Donald Trump to Take Over our State Elections and Interfere with our Right to Vote’

ATLANTA — Democratic candidate for governor Keisha Lance Bottoms released the following statement after Donald Trump signed an executive order to place restrictions on mail-in voting and interfere with state administration of elections. 

The executive order would require states to use a list of eligible voters created by the Trump Administration and instruct the United States Postal Service to only send mail-in ballots to voters on the list.

“This executive order is an illegal attempt by Donald Trump to take over our state elections and interfere with our right to vote. Trump has already coordinated an illegal FBI raid in Fulton County because he is obsessed with an election he lost six years ago. Now he’s trying to make it harder for voters to participate in our elections and undermine our election system. 

“Georgia has administered fair and secure elections, and our next governor needs to stand up against these threats to Georgians’ voting rights. Republican candidates for governor in Georgia are sitting silently as Trump continues his attacks on our elections. As governor, I will always protect the rights Georgians have fought for.”
