Stacey Abrams's group files motion to halt Georgia's mass voter purge

Source: The Guardian

A voting rights group founded by the Democrat Stacey Abrams filed an emergency motion on Monday, asking a court to halt Georgia’s planned mass purge of voters.

The motion was filed by Fair Fight Action in US district court, hours before the secretary of state’s office planned to begin the purge of inactive voter registrations.

In October, the secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, released a list of more than 313,000 voters whose registrations were at risk of being canceled, about 4% of registered voters in Georgia. Those voters were mailed notices in November and had 30 days to respond in order to keep their registration intact.

Walter Jones, a spokesman for the secretary of state, said the purge was planned for overnight Monday into Tuesday. He said the exact number and names of voters removed would not be known until then and that more information would be made available later.
