If they win this suit, it means Dems will probably win, and they should, because of the 200,000 that were purged because Kemp said they had moved, well, turns out, the vast majority of them hadn't moved at all, and it was a ploy for Kemp to beat Abrams, which succeeded. He stole the election for himself, as he was GA Secy of State,and SoS's are in charge of the election and he refused to recuse himself.
Greg Palast, the investigative reporter working with the ACLU, uncovered the fact that the vast majority of the purged hadn't moved and were wrongfully purged. Given that the demographic of the purged were mostly in poor neighborhoods, and college students, the strong likelihood is that most of them are democrats, which is why Kemp no doubt purged them in the first place.
Recall that it was Greg Palast, through his investigative work exposing the Kris Kobach's "Interstate Crosscheck" scam, got the program discontinued by a federal judge. He uncovered the fact that 29 states had partnered with Kobach to run their voter registration rolls through his software, and the software was supposed to delete 'duplicate names across states' as this, according to Kobach, was evidence that those states with duplicate names were persons intending to vote twice ( one in each state ). Turns out the program was flawed and biased against minorities. For example, there are a few dozen 'Michael Jacksons', point is, common names, especially names of presidents and prominent citizens, were given to blacks by slave owners (or they chose the names, not sure which ) , and duplicate names are more prominent among blacks than other demographics. Moreover, Palast uncovered the fact that the program did not check SSNs # as claimed, nor did the program check middle names, so the program was purging names that were duplicate but not perfect duplicates. Thing is, people do move, and when they move, they never contact the state that they left and ask to have their names removed from the registration list, so duplicate names are inevitable, but the fact of duplicates DO NOT prove 'intent to vote twice" like Kobach has claimed. The program was so flawed and turning up hundreds of thousands of false positives, that the judge ordered the program to cease and desist. Palast discovered that during the 2016 election, 1.1 million names were purged, and in the swing states, the purged count vastly exceeded the number of ballots cast for Trump. Had those names not been purged, it's conceivable that Clinton might have won, given that he won by a narrow margin.
So, here we have republicans purging innocent persons from voter registration rolls, they closed over 1000 voter booths in the south, causing long lines, and, as such , greatly suppressing the vote, and republicans are now claiming that democrats are trying to steal the election. No, the thieves are republicans.
Let us see how the judges rule on this.
Voter advocacy groups in Georgia filed a lawsuit on Wednesday asking a federal court to compel the state to restore nearly 200,000 names to its voter registration list ahead of the January runoff races for the state’s two Senate seats that will determine the balance of power in Washington.
In the suit, filed in the northern district of Georgia, three voter advocacy groups said the state had improperly removed 198,000 people from its voter registration lists in 2019 on the grounds that they had changed their addresses.
The Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union released a report in September based on an investigation by a progressive independent journalist, Greg Palast, who found that most of the approximately 300,000 people removed had not changed their addresses. Since the investigation was completed, several thousand voters have died or moved, but more than 195,000 remained wrongly affected, the suit says.
The Georgia A.C.L.U. said in a statement that those removed from the rolls were likely to be “young voters, voters of lower income, and citizens of racial groups that have been denied their sacred right to vote in the past.”
Palast won a lawsuit against Kemp back in February
