Georgia Prepares to Purge a Half Million Voters – 6% of Its Voter Rolls.  Even if You Haven’t Moved, You Can Be Purged Just For Not Voting.

Georgia is preparing to purge an estimated 500,000 of its voters in 2025 – 6% of those registered, employing recommendations from ERIC and other sources. Of those, and estimated 100,000 will be purged not because they’ve moved, but because they haven’t voted recently, under Georgia’s ”use it or lose it” law.
