b'https://www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law sent a letter to the elections board and the Georgia Secretary of State\\u2019s Office on Thursday on behalf of the Georgia State Conference of the NAACP; Gwinnett County Branch of the NAACP; GALEO Latino Community Development Fund Inc.; Georgia Coalition for the People\\u2019s Agenda Inc.; League of Women Voters of Georgia; and Common Cause.

The groups claim the county is violating voters rights on two grounds.


One is that, they assert, National Voter Registration Act of 1993 prohibited an elections board from hearing voter registration challenges within 90 days of a federal election. The other is that they assert the county\\u2019s elections board has sustained some voter registration challenges without adhering to requirements laid out in the same federal law.
