GOP's Brian Kemp Purged 1 in 10 Georgia Voters: I've Got the Names

[Hoyt]

12. Anyone purged still went years without voting. It's not enough

to remain in Georgia, you have to register in the county where you live. I’ve been “purged” numerous times because I moved from one county to another.

Again, I hope KKKemp gets his rear kicked by a much better qualified candidate. But wasting time on something that is not really an issue, doesn’t help anything. If one hasn’t voted in that many years, recieved a notice and done something about it, checked their registration status themselves or with help of Democratic volunteers, they aren’t likely to vote.

If misinterpreting “purge” actually helps to defeat KKKemp, great. But, I don’t think it will make any difference in who votes and the outcome because no one is being disenfranchised.

Now, if someone voted in 2016 or even 2014, and was “purged,” they have something to complain about. That isn’t what has happened, though.

We’d do better saying very succinctly, everyone needs to check their registration status. If you can’t yourself, go to local Democratic organization. They will help you.
