On September 26, Georgia citizens filed suit in Federal Court against Brad Raffensperger, Georgia Secretary of State. The plaintiffs argued that according to data from Georgia state voter rolls and U.S. Postal Service (USPS), there are many individuals who have moved out of the state, but remain registered to vote in Georgia. This violates the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
Their suit demands that Raffensperger follow the NVRA and Georgia law to maintain accurate and timely registrations in Georgia’s voter rolls. The lawsuit seeks to enforce laws that protect Georgians’ right to vote from dilution.
The plaintiffs in the suit are William Quinn and David Cross from Georgia.
Georgia’s current voter rolls contain thousands of invalid registrations because the voters in question either permanently moved out of state and are no longer citizens of Georgia or permanently moved to a different county in Georgia from the county in which they are presently registered.
Because the Secretary of State Offices were closed due to weather, members of the plaintiff party served Secretary Raffensperger at his home with the lawsuit.
