On the morning after the Democratic presidential debate in Atlanta, presidential candidates Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker all stopped by a phone bank organized by the group Fair Fight Action.

For a few minutes, they helped send out text messages to thousands of people who were on a list to be removed from the voting rolls next month. Many of those Georgians are being taken off because they haven’t voted since before the 2012 general election.
