Conservative Activists Working To Remove Eligible Voters From Registration

Through an in-depth investigation, CBS News has found a grassroots effort by conservative activists to remove eligible voters from local registration rolls. From CBS News:

Fueled by doubts about the 2020 election, an army of conservative activists is poring over state voter lists, looking for registration errors that can be used to file what are known as voter challenges — questioning the registrations of thousands of Americans.

The undertaking, which includes the involvement of a lawyer tied to former President Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, tends to affect minority or younger voters who may be statistically more likely to vote Democrat, according to local election officials.

“It’s young voters, it’s people of color, and it’s people that are unhoused,” said Karli Swift, chair of the election board in DeKalb County, Georgia. “Those are generally the types of people that end up in voter challenges.”

Gee, “younger voters,” “people of color”… take a guess which way those demographics tend to lean politically. https://twitter.com/CBSMornings/status/1731676749077876834 CBS News’ investigation found over 80,000 voter challenges have been filed in Georgia since 2021, when the Republican-led legislature changed the law allowing one citizen to challenge an unlimited number of voter registrations. about 12,000 of those challenges have been upheld resulting in the removal of those voters from the rolls. The woman pictured above, Gail Lee, told CBS News’ Major Garrett that she’s filed at least 500 voter challenges herself. It won’t surprise you to learn she believes Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Watch the report below. https://youtu.be/CBpaF0XW3vg?si=IFrGa_3UR-JqT3fP
