Lawsuit: Ga. Voter Registration Process Is Discriminatory

New Lawsuit Alleges Ga. Voter Registration Process Discriminatory

Georgia’s process for verifying information on voter registration applications lacks oversight and puts a “burden” on voters to correct errors they may not have been responsible for in the first place, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court by civil rights groups against Secretary of State Brian Kemp.

“Our analysis reveals that this process has had a disproportionate impact on minority voters,” said Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
