On Tuesday, the Senate Ethics committee voted to approve legislation that could potentially ban ballot drop boxes in Georgia and make changes to SB 202.

Now several organizations have released statements in opposition to the proposed legislation, calling it restrictive.

On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Andrea Young, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Georgia, spoke with Rose Scott about the legislation and why she feels it is an attack on democracy and a move to block minority voters.
