ACLU sues Fulton County over notice sent to registered voters

The ACLU of Georgia filed a lawsuit Friday against Fulton County over address confirmation notices that went out to thousands of registered voters across the county.

The notice says a voter will be declared “inactive” if they don’t respond within 30 days.

The notices are part of Georgia’s biennial effort to clean up the state’s voter rolls, and overall went out to more than 383,480 voters across the state.

They are generated every other year after the state compares the list of people who submitted a change of address form to the U.S. Postal Service with the state’s overall list of registered voters.
