Proposed new registration rule would require car registered in state.
by Greg PalastNovember 23, 2020
Georgias Board of Elections is trying to sneak through a new rule that could block new registrations before the Senate runoff to people who dont have a car registered in the state.
This knocks out students and lower income urban voters (i.e. Black Atlantans) without cars. Of course, you cant force people to buy a car in order to vote. The voters will be allowed on the rolls after a hearing, which will of course be after the January 5 election.
The GOP Secretary of States excuse? To prevent voter fraud. Brad Raffensperger claims people from out of state will be driving into Georgia to register to vote in the runoff.
Our team in Georgia contacted Raffenspergers office and asked if theyve encountered a single fraudulent out-of-state voter. So far, weve had no answer.
We will expose it. We will fight it.

I agree. I know nowadays it's easy to believe just about anything, but we need to at least act sane.
