Being made an inactive voter has consequence, said Sean Young, the legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia, which on Friday sued Fulton County over the fact that some of the address confirmation notices went to voters who had moved within the same county.
The group says those voters should not face the possibility of being declared inactive because state law doesnt mandate such an action for that particular group of voters. The ACLU said it also believes that goes beyond whats federally allowed.
Intimidating and confusing voters with bureaucratic nonsense, Young said, is classic voter suppression.
