Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says a "frivolous" lawsuit over Georgia's election rule requiring voters to print and physically sign absentee ballots will not succeed in court.

In the lawsuit, a coalition of left-wing groups argues the “wet signature” rule in Georgia's elections targets minorities, and asserts it is just one of many unfair rules in a “haystack of voter suppression measures” spurred by the state legislature following the 2020 election.

The requirement of a ‘wet’ signature on an absentee ballot application simply creates a pretext to unfairly disqualify voters, particularly Black and Brown voters, from their constitutional right to vote. This rule is yet another attempt by the Georgia legislature to suppress the right to vote,” said Guy Cecil the chairman of nonprofit Priorities USA, one of the groups suing, according to a letter tweeted out Monday.

Onerous requirements like this have historically been used to dilute the political power of marginalized communities," Cecil continued.

Priorities USA, Vote.org, and the Georgia Alliance for Retired Americans are the plaintiffs in the civil suit seeking to overturn the signature rule.

Raffensperger, the state’s top election official, told Just The News that he’s confident the suit will be unsuccessful.

This frivolous suit will lose in court," Raffensperger said. “It never ceases to amaze me the extent liberal groups will bend and twist to undo common sense election security measures. They tried to get rid of signature requirements before and failed, and they'll fail again here.

According to the U.S. Elections Project, over 1.7 million mail-in ballots were requested in Georgia during the 2020 election.

“This is simply making it less convenient for people to get a ballot, and harder for voter registration and election staff to meet those requests,” remarked Dele Lowman Smith, the Democratic chairwoman of the DeKalb County Elections Board, according to The Atlanta-Journal Constitution. “There is no question in my mind that we’re going to see a significant drop-off in absentee usage.”
