For weeks and weeks (months?), the media has diligently been assisting the Left push their latest narrative for the midterms, and that’s voter suppression. Especially in Georgia because you know, they dared clean up their voter registration.
OH NO, it’s some great conspiracy by Kemp to win by oppressing minority voters or something. Don’t make that face, it’s not our narrative.
Erick Erickson took this claim (and Stacey Abrams) apart by breaking down the GA Secretary of State’s review of this ‘issue’ in epic thread:
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 follow:

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— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) October 22, 2018
Numbers are RACIST.
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.— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) October 22, 2018
Math is a tool of white privilege!
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.

Holy cow. Over 11k of the pending voters who failed Social Security Number verification were brought in by Stacey Abrams’ group, New Georgia Project. Tell us again who is trying to rig this election?
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.

Shocking.
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.

Wow.
This isn't a matter of voter suppression. This is a matter of voter fraud by Democrats.
— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) October 22, 2018
But Democrats and the media keep telling us voter fraud doesn’t exist unless of course it’s Russians but we digress.
