107,000 purged from Georgia voter rolls for not voting in past elections: report

Georgia officials removed an estimated 107,000 people from voter rolls because they decided not to vote in prior elections, according to a new report.

An APM Reports analysis found the voters were removed under the state's "use it or lose it" law, which starts a process for removing people from voter rolls if they fail to vote, respond to a notice or make contact with election officials over a three-year period.

After that three-year span, those who don't vote or make contact with authorities in two elections can be purged from the voter rolls under the Georgia law.

Such laws, generally enacted by GOP governments, have been growing more common, with at least nine states now having them, according to APM Reports.

Voter suppression has become a big issue in the Georgia governor's race, where Republican Brian Kemp is running against Democrat Stacy Abrams. Abrams would become the first black woman to serve as a U.S. governor in history if elected.

Kemp is Georgia's secretary of state, and his office oversees elections. Abrams has argued that Georgia laws and Kemp's office have acted to suppress the votes of African-Americans in the state. Kemp says his office is following Georgia law and that he has acted to prevent voter fraud.

The two are locked in a tight race that could be decided by a relatively small number of voters.

The APM investigation concluded that many people struck from voter rolls under "use it or lose it" laws do not know that they have been dropped and are likely to be surprised if they are turned away from the polls on Nov. 6.

Officials who support the laws argue that the policy helps prevent voter fraud, saying that citizens in good standing who have not turned out to multiple elections most likely moved.

A Federal Court has enjoined Georgia's signature mismatch law. I guess the ACLU didn't need Doc Cam's suggested complaint avenues after all.

Well. We have yet another personal attack on this forum that wasn't 'quickly moderated' when SS (heh) is attacking Ajax18 as a mailbombing terrorist. So, that makes multiple instances where the left-leaning types on this forum have gotten away with calling their perceived opposition all sorts of nasty things.

And yet, I simply do what KG did to me and it's immediately moderated.

I suppose it was too much for anyone on this forum to figure out the point I was making, or to internalize their behavior. Better to entrench, I guess.

You mean the system is *gasp* responding to irregularities by challenging them? I suppose that's better than crying about it on a small discussion board.
