Breaking news: A federal judge ordered Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp to guarantee people flagged as non-citizens through Georgia's "exact match" system can vote in the 2018 election. big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/athena/files/2…

Here is how they can vote:
This is a win for voting rights groups that sued. It deals with a portion of the 53,000 people on the voter registration suspense list.

Overwhelming majority of 53,000 were not flagged for citizenship. They were flagged because their information didn't match with SSN database
This is the judge explaining the problem. Someone can get a driver's license in Georgia if they are not a citizen. If that person then becomes a citizen and registers to vote, the state driver's database will flag them as a non-citizen
This ruling affects 3,141 people who registered to vote in Georgia, per attorney @DaniLang_DC
@DaniLang_DC Statement from Brian Kemp's office spox: "Judge Ross acknowledged that Georgia already has a process in place to check citizenship at the polls. She decided to also allow poll managers to participate in the verification process. It is a minor change to the current system.”
