Lawsuit Challenges Georgia Law on Homeless Voter Registration and Voter Eligibility

The NAACP and Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda argue the law discriminates against homeless voters and those using nonresidential addresses.

The lawsuit targets Senate Bill 189, which includes provisions affecting homeless voter registration and voter eligibility challenges.
Plaintiffs claim the law unfairly forces homeless voters to use county election offices for mail, making it difficult to receive ballots and other election materials.
The law allows private citizens to challenge voters registered at nonresidential addresses, impacting those in college dorms, shelters, and nursing facilities.
Supporters of the law argue it prevents voter fraud by ensuring people vote in the correct precincts, while critics say it discriminates against vulnerable populations.
The lawsuit seeks to block the enforcement of the law, citing violations of the National Voter Registration Act and the U.S. Constitution.
