Bearing long lists of voters’ names, a determined group of Republicans is asking local election boards to cancel thousands of Georgia voter registrations, using a new power bestowed by the state’s voting law.

These amateur operatives are trying to purge the registrations of people who they suspect have moved away based on voter lists, address records or property tax documents.

They’re relying on Georgia’s law passed last year in the wake of Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election that allows any voter to challenge the eligibility of an unlimited number of their neighbors, an effort that’s taking place outside the routine government-run process of removing people who have moved or died.

It’s voter against voter, with conservatives taking matters into their own hands to police Georgia’s voter list. No fraud has been proved among registrants who moved from Georgia or used P.O. boxes as their addresses.

These aggressive efforts to cancel voters jeopardized eligible voters such as Tracy Taylor, who is homeless and registered to vote at the address of a post office near historically Black colleges on Atlanta’s Westside.

3. If They've Relocated

they probably aren't going to go back and vote in their old polling place if they've reregistered at their new address....unless their Republicans.

7. Oh my! Where are these corporations, professional sports leagues and businesses

that were sooooo outraged, OUTRAGED I tell you, that they were going to do something about this fascism and racism?

Oh, right...they stopped contributing to fascists for a minute or so.

It's pretty simple.

Nothing will change. The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it.
