Stacey Abrams's New Website Let's Georgians Know If Their Voter Registration Is About To Be Purged

Continuing the fight against voter suppression, Stacey Abrams just launched a new tool for Georgia voters to know if their voter registration is about to be canceled.

According to The 19th, “Fair Fight Action’s GeorgiaVoterSearch.com lets voters verify whether they are on the list of the more than 100,000 voters whose registration could be canceled because they have moved or haven’t voted in several years… The site is part of the organization’s effort to go on offense in the wake of the state’s new restrictive voting measures passed during the most recent legislative session.”

The website was launched on June 29. Its goal is to contact 50,000 voters “through a text and phone bank campaign later this summer” in order to highlight the upcoming purge and educate people who’ve already been purged on how they can re-register to vote.

Abrams ran unsuccessfully against Brain Kemp for Georgia state governor back in 2018, and “534,000 Georgians were purged from the rolls in 2017,” The 19th reported.

He needs to appoint her to a national DNC position, make up a title, to oversee in all the important states, what she does so well.

Just DO it!

I wonder if Jaime Harrison is mostly focused on money. He was a prodigious fundraiser in his Senate Race. But he's not a Senator.

Thats what I did just to make sure. There really is no excuse to NOT know if you're registered or about to be UNregistered.

Call & they'll tell u if there's a problem with your registration. As the poster before you said as well. I did it in '18 when the first "purge" was coming
