Sen. Nikema Williams (D-Atlanta) is arrested by capitol police in the rotunda of the state capitol building in Atlanta. The Georgia state lawmaker and nine others arrested while protesting at the state Capitol in the wake of the 2018 midterm elections have filed a lawsuit seeking to prohibit further enforcement of the law cited in their arrest. Williams was among 15 people arrested in November 2018 while calling for uncounted ballots to be tallied. The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2020 against a dozen Department of Public Safety officers says the law in question is unconstitutional and overly broad. (AP Photo/John Bazemore, file)
