'Leave it Blank' organizers call protest campaign a success

The “Leave it Blank” campaign, from the Listen to Georgia Coalition, called on Democratic primary voters to leave their ballot blank when they headed to the polls on Tuesday. The campaign was an attempt to put pressure on President Joe Biden for a permanent cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas War.

Azka Mahmood, an advisory board member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Action Georgia and a Listen to Georgia Coalition member, was a guest on Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look.”

At the time of the interview, results showed at least 6000 voters submitted a blank ballot.
