Georgia Republicans introduced legislation Tuesday to make it easier to kick voters off the rolls through mass challenges, according to a copy of the bill sent to lawmakers and shared with NBC News by an aide to two of the bill's sponsors.
Changes to the challenge rules were proposed to Senate Bill 221 on Tuesday night, part of a committee substitute replacing a previous version of the bill.
A draft of proposed legislation was released hours after NBC News exclusively revealed that at least 92,000 voter registrations were challenged in Georgia last year. Amateur fraud hunters largely used voter rolls, public records (including change-of-address data from the U.S. Postal Service) and some door-to-door canvassing in their claims that voters were ineligible.

Only way they believe they can win in the midst of our Second Civil War.

This could all be solved by requiring a voter ID at the time of voting, and requiring that absentee ballots be mailed in or as in the case of a Nursing home taken to the place, voting supervised and ballots taken in by a Sheriff's deputy.
The willingness of some to accept the possibility of voter fraud in order to ensure that not a single person is disenfranchised, while not being willing to do anything to cause real, substantive, and verifiable security and confidence in the electoral process is mind boggling.
Voter ID is not in any way racist or discriminatory considering that an ID is required to buy beer and cigarettes, enter a hospital to visit, cash a government benefits check, apply for unemployment, welfare and food stamps, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, visit a loved on in most hospitals, drive a car, ... The list goes on and on of everyday things that a person needs an ID to do, YET to vote...Oh God NO! Not that! NO NO NO....We can't have that.
I believe that every ELIGIBLE voter should be given every opportunity to vote. But it should be done with good order and discipline.
If the left wants to avoid EVER having another Trump, then RESTORE the confidence of the American People in the election process. Did no one wonder why in Iraq and Afghanistan when the US Military oversaw the free elections after the regime change that they made the voter dip their finger in blue dye to ensure that each person only voted ONCE and that they were identified? If it was that important in Iraq and Afghanistan why is it such a low priority her in the United States?
