Federal Judge Won’t Undo Georgia Voter Purge

Updated at 6 p.m. Friday

A federal judge ruled Friday that he won’t undo Georgia’s efforts to remove almost 100,000 voters from its rolls.

U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones ruled that a voting rights advocacy group founded by Democrat Stacey Abrams is improperly asking him to interpret state law. Jones also said the group hasn’t proved that people who have been removed had their constitutional rights violated.
