GA New Voters' Do You Know Were Your Registration Forms Are?

The New Georgia Project (NGP) brought bins holding copies of more than 51,000 unprocessed voter applications to the state Capitol on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014.  Secretary of State Brian Kemp has put the group under investigation for alleged voter registration fraud, but group leaders said it was a “witch hunt” to intimidate their efforts. But at the meeting he admitted 51,000 of the 85,000 new voter registrations were missing or had not been processed.

Speaking at the state Capitol ahead of the 3 p.m. special meeting of the Georgia Election Board, the leaders stood before 13 plastic bins filled with copies of applications they said have not been processed despite being turned in, in some cases, months ago.

“You don’t have to wear a hood or be a member of the Ku Klux Klan to be engaged in voter suppression,” said the Rev. Raphael Warnock, the pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.  “Mr. Secretary of State, stop this dog and pony show, all these accusations and fear campaigning, and do the job you were elected to do.”

Moral Monday Georgia also took a stand at yesterday's Board of Elections hearing.
