From Washington ExaminerGeorgia began one of the largest voter registration purges in the state’s history on Thursday, and almost half a million inactive voters will be removed.

Voter cancellations occur every odd year in Georgia as part of an effort to tidy up voter rolls ahead of the following year’s elections. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office began the process on Thursday, mailing letters to 478,000 voters, giving them a final warning before the cancellation. Those who receive the letters have 40 days to respond or contact local election offices.


“We are extremely sure these people aren’t here,” Sterling said. “For somebody to say we’re getting rid of voters is almost silly on its face because of how simple it is to register.”

Sterling Says Georgia’s voter rolls will be “the most accurate list in the country” when they’re done.
