Georgia Recorder Protesters wanted answers about proposed voting changes Monday from top Georgia election aide Gabriel Sterling on the steps of the state Capitol. Ross Williams/Georgia Recorder While state lawmakers passed expansive new voting restrictions Monday, dozens of protesters gathered outside the Gold Dome for a 12-hour rally against changes they say make it harder for Black Georgians to cast a ballot. âThey need to do the will of the people,â said Cyntha Bohannon-Brown of Rex. âBy keeping people who are not able to get to the ballots from voting, they’re basically not doing their job.â The rally was organized by the Georgia NAACP, the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund and the American Civil Liberties Union and other voting rights activists. Some participants made a point to hold vigil outside the Capitol from 5:31 a.m. to 5:31 p.m. in protest of the bill, House Bill 531.
