A federal judge on Wednesday rejected an effort to place nearly 200,000 names back on Georgia voter rolls before next month’s Senate runoff elections.
“Plaintiffs have shown that Georgia’s list maintenance process may not be accurate in identifying voters who have actually moved. But they have not shown, or even alleged, that the process is applied differently to any class of voters,” Judge Steve Jones of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia wrote in his ruling. “Here, there is no evidence at this stage that the list maintenance process is not uniformly applied.”
The judge said putting the names back on the rolls would “impose a severe burden” on the office of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger as it administers the election, and create confusion.
He also noted that voters had a year to re-register themselves, and some likely did so.
“Plaintiffs acknowledge that they do not know how many people on their list of cancelled registrations may have re-registered before Dec. 7, 2020,” Jones wrote. “Thus, the risk of dual registrations and voter confusion is high.”
Still, the judge said there “may be discrepancies” in records used to cancel voter registrations and strongly encouraged the parties to meet and figure out “the explanation, if any, for the alleged inaccuracies.”
An attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), one of the plaintiffs in Black Voters Matter Fund v. Raffensperger, didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Raffensperger, a Republican, said in a statement that “this lawsuit from left-leaning groups—like the recent ones from the right—was based on conjecture by unqualified ‘experts’ drawn from sloppy analysis.”
“This office abides by the law regardless of criticism and oversees fair and accurate elections open to all eligible voters—but only eligible Georgia voters,” he added.

These seats matter. This is some good news.
Don’t worry. They have plenty of time for John Robert’s to grant standing and reverse it.....
They may be dead, moved, married, changed name, changed sex, changed mind, etc............................
May Piss Be Upon Him...................
He seems to have missed the State Farm Arena tapes.
Stacey will probably make sure they vote anyway... and be counted.
That’s okay, they’ll probably be voting anyway, even if they’re dead, or not residents of Georgia.
So now they’ll be hunting for an Osama Obama appointee.
If the 'voters' wanted to vote, they would have re-registered when they applied for their absentee ballots.
Keeping these names off the rolls without a living, breathing, ID CARRYING person to request it shrinks the pool of potential voter fraud.
I then asked her "well,how do you know that an applicant is legally eligible to vote?" "Because you sign a sworn statement when you apply" was her response.
This is Massachusetts...home of many,many thousands of wetbacks from various Third World cesspools.
I’d go further. All voter rolls should be wiped clean after every quadrennial federal election. Everybody has to register in person with an original birth certificate and one other photo ID, either a driver license or a passport. If you are a certified shut-in or invalid, the county can pay to have mobile teams visit you.
ALL registrations have to be witnessed by both a Republican and a Democrat from the registrar’s office and certified by a Notary Public.
“”no,state law forbids any official asking for ID from anyone voting or registering to vote”.”
Photo identification is required when voting in Georgia. Valid forms of ID include driver’s licenses, state ID cards, tribal ID cards, United States passports, employee ID cards, military ID cards, and voter ID cards issued by county registration offices or the Georgia Department of Driver Services. Voters can obtain a free voter ID card from any county registrar’s office or DDS office.[9]

The only unique power of the Chief Justice that I could find in Wikipedia is that they get to write the majority opinion.
What’s the big deal about the Chief Justice?
If I were the judge, I’d ask if complainants are in the habit of facilitating voter fraud.
Rhetorical question.....you’ve just proven you are in the habit of finding votes by hook or crook.

There is one glaring exception which I noticed when mrs riverdawg and I voted on Tuesday in the runoff election. First-time voters who registered on line do not have to show a photo ID for in-person voting (and, obviously, for absentee voting). I assume (hope) that some other form of ID verification was required at the polls for first-time voters.
