The @AP ran a story on October 9, 2018, claiming there were 53,000 registered voters in Georgia who were put on a "pending" list. The GA Secretary of State has completed his review, including hiring an independent reviewer, and his findings are as follows:
The ‘Pending’ list (as of 10/17/18) was 75,105 9,224 are ‘pending’ because the person is 17.5 2,935 used a fake address
3,393 are ‘pending’ because citizenship could not be verified
5,842 are ‘pending’ because they match another active voter file
After you remove underage, fake addresses, duplicates, and non-citizens, you have roughly 46,000 ‘pending’ on the list, not 53,000.
75% are on the list because they failed Social Security Number verification.
Stacey Abrams' group New Georgia Project is responsible for 23% of those, or 11,024 voters.
Those 11,024 voters had their registration filed in 2014 by the New Georgia Project. None of those 11,024 voters have ever attempted to vote or contact a local board of elections to provide the correct social security number.
In other words, 75% of the people provided the wrong last four digits of their purported social security numbers and 23% were actually filed not by the voter, but by a group associated with Stacey Abrams.
This isn't a matter of voter suppression. This is a matter of voter fraud by Democrats.
