(13,431 posts)It is even more so among people whose ancestors had their family names revoked or changed due to slavery. Make no mistake, this GOP tactic is racially motivated to target black voters. Each and every one of us (unless your name is exceptionally uncommon) is a potential victim here.

(31,261 posts)People need to make sure that they check their registration status before next Tuesday and re-register if needed. And our vote integrity organizations need to sue Georgia and other states like them to force them to cross link names with unique identifiers such as SS number, Drivers license number or state ID card number.
