Potential mass voter challenges in Georgia November elections elicit Democrats’ warnings

Georgia Democrats are sounding the alarm over potential mass voter challenges ahead of the November election.

Georgia law allows local voters to challenge the eligibility of as many people as they want if they suspect the person is ineligible to cast a ballot. Ahead of the Jan. 2021 runoffs for the U.S. Senate, a conservative vote monitoring group called True the Vote challenged hundreds of thousands of voters’ eligibility.

In a ruling this January, a federal judge said he could not condone “TTV’s actions in facilitating a mass number of seemingly frivolous challenges” but could not “under the operative legal framework say that these actions were contrary to Georgia law.”
