Voter Purging In Georgia

Kayla Berry received a letter October the 9th stating that she had a week from the time it was dated to prove her citizenship. The postmark was October 2nd.

She was being purged from the voter rolls even though she is a documented US citizen.

More from CNN.com:

Berry is one of more than 50,000 registered Georgia voters who have been "flagged" because of a computer mismatch in their personal identification information. At least 4,500 of those people are having their citizenship questioned and the burden is on them to prove eligibility to vote.

Experts say lists of people with mismatches are often systematically cut, or "purged," from voter rolls.

It's a scenario that's being repeated all across the country, with cases like Berry's raising fears of potential vote suppression in crucial swing states.


The CNN article has recently been updated to show how this same tactic is being used in other states such as Ohio and Wisconsin.
