Georgia canceled the registration of more than a half-million voters over the weekend, part of an ongoing round of maintenance to clean up the state’s voting rolls.

Each of the 591,548 voters affected by the move had already been on the state’s “inactive” registration list. That means they had not voted, updated their voter registration information, filed a change of name or address, signed a petition or responded to attempts to confirm their last known address for at least the past three years.

None of the voters had had any contact with local election officials or the state since at least Sept. 16, 2014, according to the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office.

Let the leftists howl in protest.
This is exactly how it should be done elsewhere.

Agreed. Ruth Johnson in Michigan has a record of taking similar actions.

I was pleased to find that I can proactively remove my late mother's name from voter rolls by showing her death certificate.

How is it voter suppression, classic or otherwise?  If you registered to vote while living at a certain address...and then choose not to vote for several years, you need to re-register.  It's that simple.  You somehow managed to register in the first place.  It wasn't rocket science ....so what's the big deal?

The big deal is.... a lot of Democrats love to vote more than once.  They register at one address, move and re-register at another address.  They then vote at the precinct for each address.

I worked with one woman in the legal department who bragged about having voted several times that day in a Houston city election.  She was a huge fan of Ann Richards, had two judges in her family, and she was admitting to committing voter fraud.  She was proud of it, in fact.

Georgia’s work to clean up its rolls unintentionally coincides with a request from the U.S. Justice Department to 44 states including Georgia asking how they remove voters from the rolls who should no longer be eligible to vote.



Riiiiiiiight.
