Are we really doing this again?
The implication here, that these voters were unfairly disenfranchised and that cleaning the voter rolls somehow changed the outcome of the gubernatorial election, is just wrong.

First, it is worth noting that the law which required these updates to the voter rolls in GA was passed in 1997 when Democrats controlled the legislature and Governor's office. It wasn't some Republican conspiracy. 
Second, as noted above, the inactive status (& the presumption that they had moved) was due to not only them not voting in recent elections, but then not responding to notices from state officials asking them to confirm that they still wanted to be on the voter rolls.
These voters had multiple affirmative opportunities to stay registered. There is a legitimate interest in updated voter rolls to prevent voter fraud.
0 evidence that those who were eventually removed attempted to vote, much less could have swayed the GA Gov election.

If you want to change the law or adjust how we clean up voter rolls, which I think is important, then people should feel free to push those changes. They should not imply that following the law is somehow the equivalent of stealing the election or disenfranchising voters.
