Georgia: GOP Secretary Of State Purging Voters From Voter Rolls With No Notice

Georgia's current Secretary of State, who also happens to be the Republican candidate for governor this year, has purged up to 10% of Georgia voters from the voter rolls.

The purged names, numbering up to half a million, are reportedly disproportionately black voters.

Oh, did I mention the Democratic candidate, Stacey Abrams, is black? And she would become the first black, female governor in the United States?

Additionally, Talking Points Memo reports that Kemp is blocking 53,000 people from registering to vote using a controversial “exact match” program to approve or block voter registrations that disproportionately impacts minority voters.

According to the Associate Press, 70% of the voter applications that are being held up by Kemp’s office are from black people.
