(CNN)A coalition of advocacy groups has launched a lawsuit to block Georgia from enforcing a practice critics say endangers the votes of more than 50,000 people in November and potentially larger numbers headed into the 2020 presidential election cycle.
The Campaign Legal Center and Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law argued in the suit, which was filed in a federal district court on Thursday, that the state's "exact match" requirement violates the Voting Rights Act, the National Voter Registration Act and the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The office of Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who is now running for governor in a hotly contested race with Democratic former state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams, used the system from 2013 to 2016 but stopped in 2017 as part of a settlement stemming from separate litigation. But the Republican-held state legislature soon stepped in and passed the protocol into law. A recent Associated Press report found around 53,000 people -- nearly 70% of them African-Americans -- had their registrations placed in limbo because of some kind of mismatch with drivers license or social security information. Kemp, in a tweet, said, "The 53,000 Georgians on our 'pending' list can vote in the Nov. 6th election."

Actually, yes and no. The blacks in Atlanta are professional, well-educated blacks. They might be Democrats, but they're not going to vote for Abrams, because they don't want their taxes to go up and the film industry to leave. Georgia is #1 in movie and television production.
Abrams is using this registration thing as a pre-emptive strike to challenge the outcoome. She has no ideas or proposals for GA and is in fact a tax deadbeat. So because she's black and getting fawning liberal media coverage, the usual gang of left-wing groups are agitating for her on her behalf to challenge if she loses.
You forgot Florida, the governor’s race is close with the communist leading according to polls. The senate race has Scott leading but Nelson closing the gap.
Florida’s gubernatorial race is one to watch. Anti-semite, gun control advocating Bernie Sanders communist Gillum running against Desantis.
Gillum is the Steyer Soros backed candidate.
State elections in 2018 are very important because the people elected in 2018 will more than likely be in power in 2020 when it is time to redistrict. That is why Steyer Soros et al are pouring so much money into local elections. Have power to dictate the 2020 redistricting and the power structure is locked in until 2030.
VOTE FRAUD!!! It’s what the EVIL DEMOCRATS DO!!
