Georgia plans to remove over 300,000 inactive voters from its rolls
The move comes ahead of the 2020 presidential election in a state with two Senate seats up for grabs.
Georgia could soon cancel roughly 315,000 voter registrations in the state, the secretary of state's office confirmed Tuesday. The move comes ahead of the 2020 presidential election. The state will also have an unusual "double-barreled" Senate contest, with both of its seats up for grabs at the same time.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office said that it plans to send notices to voters who have been inactive for the past couple of elections and the notice will come with a paid return postage to give voters the opportunity to remain active. People have 30 days to return the notice.
=============================================
At least it gives those folks a chance to revalidate their otherwise dormant voter registrations. But it smells like voter suppression to me.
