Washington, DC (CNN) More than 100,000 names will be removed from Georgia's voter registration rolls in an attempt to keep the state's voter files "up to date," Georgia's secretary of state announced in a statement Friday.
"Making sure Georgia's voter rolls are up to date is key to ensuring the integrity of our elections," Republican Brad Raffensperger said. "There is no legitimate reason to keep ineligible voters on the rolls."
The voter files being removed are "obsolete and outdated," according to the statement, which says that since the 2020 election, Raffensperger has "made it a priority to continue with the list maintenance process."
The announcement follows a blitz of new voting restrictions in Republican-led states with Georgia as the first presidential battleground to impose new voting restrictions following President Joe Biden's victory in the state.
**SNIP**
The effort to remove 101,789 names from Georgia's voter files marks the first time the state has conducted a "major cleaning" since 2019, but Georgia regularly removes the voter files of convicted felons and the dead on a monthly basis, according to the statement.
"The 101,789 obsolete voter files that will be removed include 67,286 voter files associated with a National Change of Address form submitted to the U.S. Postal Service; 34,227 voter files that had election mail returned to sender; and 276 that had no-contact with elections officials for at least five years," the statement says. "In each of these cases, the individual had no contact with Georgia's elections officials in any way - either directly or through the Department of Driver Services - for two general elections."

Too little, too late, Raffy.
I predict this guy runs for re-election as a Democrat.
FROM JAIL???
They should delete them but they shouldn’t drop them into the circular file. The lists should be kept for reference for the ongoing Ga audits to see if any of those names appear in the ballot envelope audits.
Heh!
I’d be OK if he ended up there.
Shouldn't be doing this until everything is over.
Only 100,000 to be removed????
Exactly. Someone has a copy of those voter roles, which are are also supposed to show the last time each person voted (but not how they voted).
Of course the ‘rats are annoyed ... if the dead cannot vote, how will the ‘rats swing a close vote tally into their favor?
“Shouldn’t be doing this until everything is over.”
Smells strongly of CYA.
Should’ve done it .... June 2020
But he refused to do this before the Senate race - https://www.foxnews.com/politics/perdue-loeffler-ballots-newly-registered-voters-set-aside
The judge that ruled in that case was Stacy Abram’s sister too.
Raffensperger can’t claim ignorance in all this either... here is Seven Hills Strategies state election board report for Georgia November 13, 2020, Unabridged Notes Detailing Everything Witnessed Nov 2-Nov 7, 2020

Yep, my first question: how many of these 100,000 people voted in the last Senate and presidential election? Follow up: who did they vote for?
So they normally do it monthly but stopped doing it sometime in 2019 to dirty up the voter data for 2020 and now they're scrubbing evidence needed for a forensic audit.
Bet those 100,000 voted in the election. Now they want to remove the names.
But can the dead re-register and vote?
I believe voter rolls should be purged every 10 years. New rolls created when you fill out the census.
“””I believe voter rolls should be purged every 10 years. New rolls created when you fill out the census.”””
That would make a lot of sense. Link the census, voting, and citizenship all in one package to be handled by each state.
Too late Ratburger, you should have done this a year ago.
