Georgia releases names of over 100K people at risk of having voter registration canceled

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) on Friday publicized the names of more than 100,000 people who could have their voter registration canceled.

Raffensperger said the 101,789 "obsolete voter files" include "67,286 voter files associated with a National Change of Address form submitted to the U.S. Postal Service; 34,227 voter files that had election mail returned to sender; and 276 that had no-contact with elections officials for at least five years."

The secretary of state's office removes voter files monthly for felony convictions and death, but scrapping the nearly 102,000 people from the rolls would be the first major "cleaning" since 2019.

"Making sure Georgia's voter rolls are up to date is key to ensuring the integrity of our elections," Raffensperger said in a statement. "Bottom line, there is no legitimate reason to keep ineligible voters on the rolls."

1. The policy is ridiculous and discriminatory, but at least they're releasing the names.

That at least gives organizations like Fair Fight the opportunity to get people re-registered in time for the midterms.

2. In other words, 99.9% probably have not voted in years . ..

3. With the Arizona so called audit the Rethugs will

know exactly who to purge in 2022.

4. 67,000 appear to have moved, 34,000 haven't responded to mail notices. Not some nefarious attempt to

to suppress votes.

From OP link:

"Raffensperger said the 101,789 "obsolete voter files" include "67,286 voter files associated with a National Change of Address form submitted to the U.S. Postal Service; 34,227 voter files that had election mail returned to sender; and 276 that had no-contact with elections officials for at least five years.""

"State officials said they are notifying those affected by the upcoming cancellations, and voters have 40 days to save their registrations before they are eliminated. People whose registrations are canceled can also re-register."

5. We only purge after two consecutive election mail returns

We are mailed a voter card every even year in January. If it is returned to the Elections office, the voter is marked as Suspended - which does not mean that they can't vote, it is a flag for the election judges to get an address change if the voter comes to the polls. If the voter still has not been to the polls or other wise contacted the Elections office after a second round of the voter cards are mailed then the voter is purged.

On the other hand, if you have moved and no one sends the card back to the Elections office, you will not be purged. My daughter is still registered to vote here just because I did not know until a few years ago that I needed to return that card! I just dropped them in the wastebasket. She has lived in Phoenix for 12 years and votes there. I will be returning the second one this January and she will finally get off the voter registry!

6. I pulled the spreadsheet

After sorting by zip code, street name and number, ten names came up in my subdivision. I know each of the addresses, and they have all had change of occupants in the last few years. All were also Change of Address updates.
