Note, the last paragraphs say most of these people can vote if they present proper ID. This may well be a tactic from the Dems but the headline reads terribly.

On Fox News, Kemp called the issue a smokescreen. "Those folks that are on the pending list, all they have to do is go to the polls, show their photo ID, and they can vote," he said.
