Georgia Attorneys Needed to Support GA Election Officials & Poll Workers

Protect GA election workers as they face the latest threat of federal gov’t investigation

Posted May 14, 2026

Immediate Problem

Recently, the Department of Justice issued a subpoena demanding the names, home addresses, emails, and phone numbers of the 2020 Georgian poll workers.

Election officials, both full-time and seasonal, should be supported on the job so they can focus on running free and fair elections for their communities.

We need GA attorneys to join the network and stand by to support election officials.

Work & Deliverables

The Election Official Legal Defense Network (EOLDN) is a project designed to provide election officials with pro bono legal help in response to the increasing wave of work-related harassment, intimidation and, targeting.

EOLDN has received requests for legal help from election officials in GA. These requests report harassment, threats, attempts to undermine the election officials' job responsibilities, and now fear of federal investigations for simply doing their jobs.
