Judge Orders Halt To Voter Purge In Two Georgia Counties Ahead Of Senate Runoff

A judge in Georgia ruled on Monday that two of the state’s more rural counties cannot invalidate voting registrations based on unverified change of address data.

“Defendants are enjoined from removing any challenged voters in Ben Hill and Muscogee Counties from the registration lists on the basis of National Change of Address data”, U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner wrote in an order, according to Reuters.

Abrams Gardner is the sister of former Democratic candidate for governor and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams.

The two counties had sought to purge thousands of voters from the rolls based on what local election officials called unreliable change of address data. The vast majority of them included 4,000 in Muscogee County, which President-elect Joe Biden won by a large amount in November, and another 150 in Ben Hill.

  1. Hard to disagree with the ruling. You can’t remove voters from the records without proof. But if the Democrats win by a small margin there will be a major effort to invalidate the votes under suspicion.

    Either way there has to be a better system to avoid mail in voter fraud. I’m married for over twenty years and my wife is still getting mail in ballots at her parents address even though she is also registered to vote elsewhere.

  2. Another reason not to allow these purges: Federal law requires that they be done earlier in the election cycle — at least 90 days before the election. Not six days.
