Cory Wilson, who has denied that restrictive voting laws lead to voter suppression, is up for a lifetime seat on a U.S. appeals court.
And when then-Attorney General Eric Holder discussed why he opposed voter ID laws in 2012, Wilson wrote, “Holder whined, like many liberals, that voter ID laws are part of an illegitimate, orchestrated effort by Republicans to suppress poor and minority voting.”
“His record is extremely problematic at this moment in time, especially when given just this week, we saw voter suppression in Georgia, including limited ballots, voting machines down and hours-long lines in primarily Black and brown communities,” Harris continued, referring toon Tuesday. “Wilson should not be confirmed to this judicial vacancy at this moment in our history.”
“Judges serving on those courts must have respect for the rule of law and for the advances our nation has made in ensuring equal justice for all,” said Johnson. “Cory Wilson wholly lacks these essential qualities and also the requisite temperament to sit in judgment of the rights of residents within this critical circuit in the Deep South.”
