Harris v. Georgia Department of Corrections
On October 3, 2018, the ACLU and the ACLU of Georgia, together with National Association of the Deaf and Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP, filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of deaf and hard of hearing people incarcerated in prisons supervised by the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC). The complaint highlights GDC’s failure to provide incarcerated deaf and hard of hearing people with equally effective communication access to programs, services, and activities, including medical care, telecommunications, and prison programs. Further, due to lack of access to interpreters and other communication accommodations, deaf prisoners are also often unable to explain or defend themselves when GDC takes disciplinary action against them.

Voting Rights
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation v. State of Georgia
The ACLU Voting Rights Project and the ACLU of Georgia have filed a lawsuit on their own behalf, seeking an injunction allowing them and similar organizations to provide legal representation to elections officials and poll workers. Georgia bars elections officials and poll workers from accepting any donations, services, or other gifts in aid of their duties, and this ban arguably extends to even pro bono legal services. Elections in Georgia, as elsewhere, have prompted extensive litigation and likely will do so in the future. The ACLU and ACLU of Georgia will be ready, including by representing elections officials as necessary.

Voting Rights
United States v. Raffensperger
The Department of Justice sued Georgia, demanding the state produce its full, unredacted voter file, which contains highly sensitive and personal data on every voter in the state. This suit appears to be part of the DOJ's efforts to build a national voter database without congressional authorization, improperly question the validity of state voter rolls, and intimidate eligible voters in Georgia and across the country.
