(CNN)The state of Georgia has likely removed nearly 200,000 Georgia citizens from the voter rolls for wrongfully concluding that those people had moved and not changed the address on their voter registration, when in fact they never moved, according to a new report released on Wednesday.

The ACLU of Georgia released the report which was conducted by the Palast Investigative Fund, a nonpartisan group that focuses on data journalism, on Wednesday.

For the report, Palast hired expert firms to conduct an Advanced Address List Hygiene, a method of residential address verification, to review 313,243 names that were removed from the state's voter rolls in late 2019. Their findings claim that 63.3% of voters had not, in fact, moved and were purged in error.

Reacting to the report, Andrea Young, executive director of the ACLU of Georgia, told CNN, "on the one hand, I was deeply saddened and on the other side, not entirely surprised."

1. kinda outweighs the alleged '1000' who 'voted twice' Right, GA GOP/thieves/liars?

[crickets]

2. It seems like GA does this, to some extent, every time around. It's so tiresome. nt

3. Article does not mention Kemp.

Isn't he largely responsible for this?

4. Yes.

5. "for wrongfully concluding"... Wow, they're really slathering on the BS.

They didn't wrongfully conclude - they did it on purpose.

We know it, and they know it too.

6. Not voting in three years is far too short a time frame

to consider a voter inactive. At least six, preferably eight years should be the guideline.

But you also have to ask why 200,000 voters got the card and couldn't be bothered to respond.

8. Assuming that they ever got the card. Data bases rewritten then rewritten again...

There are ways to corrupt every system (and most of those ways have been used by Kemp)

7. BUT, BUT BUT! In Ga, I'll venture that more Republiscum voters were removed than Democratic voters.

If these removals were random I'll guess, more RW voters were removed than Blue voters. Think of it this way: if it were CA, NY or other Blue states, far more of us would have been removed than the Reds.

9. With the intent purpose of denying Stacey Abrams the governorship

not to mention adversely affecting other races as well
