Georgia voter turnout groups are closing, raising questions about Democratic strength
October 16, 2025
Two Georgia voter turnout groups credited with boosting Democratic efforts in the state have announced their closure. Founded by Stacey Abrams in 2013, the New Georgia Project and its Action Fund aimed to register nonwhite and young voters. Their shutdown raises questions about sustaining Democratic organizing in Georgia, where Republicans still hold overall control. The groups registered thousands of voters, contributing to Democratic wins in recent elections. However, leadership issues, spending concerns, and a $300,000 ethics fine affected their operations. Despite their success, funding challenges ultimately led to their closure, impacting future Democratic efforts in the state.
