Most Georgia voters living in a municipality also have local elections, which are usually nonpartisan. Atlanta residents, which includes me, get to vote on mayor and city council president, board of education, and a handful of judicial retention elections.

So if I use this in GA to go to the polls, does that make it illegal? 🙄

Here is the remainder of the AG letter.
![Attorneys and firms also have a responsibility to speak out against baseless attacks on the federal judiciary,14 and we must condemn and reject suggestions that impeachment is an appropriate response to a judicial ruling. It is up to us as lawyers, law firms, and state attorneys general—as the entire community of the legal establishment—to refuse to bow to intimidation.
As state attorneys general, we have sworn oaths to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Rule of law is the bedrock of everything that makes our country great. Our economy, our rights
and freedoms as citizens and residents, our lives and livelihoods are all protected by the fair and unbiased application of the law. We will not allow anyone, including the President, to bully law firms out of representing clients who may be politically disfavored, or clients out of being represented by counsel of their choosing. We will not sit by silently in the face of attempts to attack and intimidate the federal judiciary. We will not allow the rule of law to be undermined.
We stand with all our colleagues in the legal community who place the ideals and values of their profession over obedience and silence.

![An Open Letter to the Legal Community
Dear Colleagues:
We write to you as state attorneys general and colleagues in the practice of law. Recent actions by the Trump administration targeting individual law firms and attorneys and statements attacking, and calling for the impeachment of, federal judges represent a clear threat to our system of justice and our profession. President Trump’s recent orders and statements – plus recent letters to law firms from the Acting Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) – lay bare the administration’s desire to silence and suppress opposition to
its policies, including by making it harder for those who oppose the administration’s policies to secure legal representation. Indeed, the chilling effect of the administration’s strategy is demonstrated by the acquiescence of the Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP (“Paul, Weiss”) law firm to the President’s demands for policy support in exchange for relief from his executive order targeting that firm.
As state attorneys general, we stand for the rule of law. As members of the legal profession and of our state bars, we all must stand together. The President’s attacks on the practice of law must
not, and will not, subvert our zealous representation of our clients.
We also stand firm in our support of the federal judiciary and judicial independence. We call on our colleagues to denounce suggestions that a judicial decision must be the result of bias simply
because the result is undesired. We categorically reject the President’s calls for the impeachment of judges in response to rulings contrary to positions his administration has advanced.
As ChiefJustice John Roberts wrote in a March 18, 2025 statement: “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

![represented a particular client cuts to the heart of—and threatens to subvert the integrity of the legal profession.
The orders and memoranda cancel all government contracts with the targeted firms and strip all of their attorneys of their security clearances and threaten the same against any firm that dares
step out of line. The orders bar lawyers from the named firms from public buildings—possibly including federal courthouses—and violate client privacy, including mandating that clients disclose their contracts with the targeted firms. President Trump also singled out individual
attorneys for condemnation because they represented clients who challenged his actions. The law does not function without lawyers in courts and the confidentiality of the attorney-client relationship.
Of particular importance to us, the March 6, 2025 order also directs the U.S. attorney general to conduct an inquisition against all national law firms that embrace programs and policies that espouse a belief in “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” and to consult with state attorneys general on this effort “as appropriate.” We strongly support the values that underpin DEI, and the best practices by firms and businesses in keeping with these values are not illegal. Through his orders, the President hopes to pit attorneys general against law firms based on the colleagues they keep, the clients they take, the cases they argue, and the values they hold. Let us speak plainly: we refuse.
The President’s efforts to recruit state attorneys general to punish firms with politically disfavored viewpoints are inappropriate and offensive to the role of a state attorney general. We too are chief law enforcement officers of sovereign governments routinely sued by many parties
acting through many attorneys. We do not take retribution against those who bring suit against us. We will not allow the debasement and misuse of our offices in such a way, and

Very few people have influenced the person I have grown into as an adult as much as Jimmy Carter did. I first started working at The Carter Center as an intern in 1992, and spent many years in and out of the Center as my life took me away and back again, over the course of decades.

Yesterday, Georgia's Supreme Court refused to stay the district court ruling that declared a swath of new rules passed by the Georgia State Election Board unlawful and unconstitutional. Any appeal will follow the normal path and the normal calendar.
That means we have certainty and clarity.

My 18yo daughter and I voted this week at the High Museum early voting location in midtown Atlanta.
It was busy, but there were no lines at 5:45 in the afternoon and incredibly well organized. Perhaps the easiest voting experience I have had in GA.
Go vote, y’all!

Voting on Halloween wasn’t scary-except for how few people were there casting a ballot!
Had a great experience at Ponce Library voting for my school board reps. Fulton County poll workers were efficient and lovely.
Three more days of early voting left-if you haven’t done so yet, go vote!
