Here's where you can see the challenges themselves. Remember that change of address to out-of-state does not automatically disqualify military members serving outside Georgia, college students, overseas who legally maintain GA as their permanent residence.

Looking at some of these, there are changes of address to other Georgia counties. They're prohibited from voting in both counties, but if they vote (once) for Senate in the wrong county, their votes would still count under Georgia's regs. Only local races are disqualified.
At least one of the two databases comes from the previous Trump Campaign challenges to the presidential race. It's still in the metadata filed with Cobb County:
They took out all the Georgia addresses from the biggest of the two databases, but the other one has several change of addresses from one Georgia county to another. Even if they voted in Cobb, but lived in another county, their provisional votes for US Senate would count.

We now know for sure that Texas-based Republican organization True The Vote is behind 'local' voter challenges in Cobb & other Georgia counties. GA law allows any voter to challenge any other voter in same county. Cobb has denied 49,000+ challenges from 2 people. Email header: Image
They're challenging enough voters in blue Georgia counties that they have set up a dedicated email address gaelectorchallenge-at-truethevote-dot-org. This is for the US Senate runoffs with voting currently underway.
Their latest challenge to Cobb, denied Friday, includes 61 addresses in Colorado Springs, close to three major military bases & the Air Force Academy. Georgians serving or attending college out of state are entitled to vote absentee as permanent GA residents. Image

I’ll be live-tweeting this Cobb Elections Board hearing below
3:11 still waiting for all attendees to join. It was mentioned before the meeting has even started that one of the challengers has added nearly 30,000 more voters to the list she wants removed/prevented from voting in the US Senate runoffs.
The meeting has started at 3:13pm EST

Here's a couple of screenshots I took from the big database of voters they want to disqualify in Cobb County. APO = Army Post Office. FPO = Fleet Post Office. DPO = Diplomatic Post Office. These are Georgia voters serving our country out of state/overseas.
The other of the two databases came from the Trump Campaign challenges of the presidential results, based on the embedded metadata.
Several addresses are in military & college towns. I counted 219 in Jacksonville/Jax Beach, Florida close to two large Navy bases. That doesn't mean they're serving, but all the FPOs and APOs shows the challengers didn't check to see if they are serving, either.

Georgia's Cobb County (recently red to blue) is holding a hearing at 3pm to possibly disqualify 19,642 voters from the US Senate runoffs. Under GA law, any voter may challenge any other voter's right to vote & Board of Elections is required to hear it & determine probable cause.
The Cobb Board of Elections has four Republicans & one Democrat. While each party gets one seat, the other members are political appointments, including one member who was appointed by the soon-to-be-former county commission chair who was just defeated in the general election.
All the major offices of Cobb county -- held by Republicans -- were recently voted out and replaced with Democrats (Sheriff, Commission Chair, District Attorney, etc). While the county has turned blue/purple, the elections board remains deep red for now.

Confirmation bias? A disgraced former Houston PD captain was arrested for ramming into an A/C repairman's van in October & holding him at gunpoint, claiming there were hundreds of thousands of 'fake ballots' in the van. No voter fraud - just tools inside.
khou.com/article/news/l…
The former police captain told the detective, according to the complaint, that the investigator could be a hero or part of the problem, and said 'I just hope you’re a patriot.” Aguirre claimed "Hispanic children" were filling out ballots because their prints couldn't be traced.
Similar, though less-violent incidents have occurred in Georgia. People tailed a van from Gwinnett Board of Elections & guy watching the stream from Oklahoma called police saying the van was removing voting machines. County's IT guy was upgrading phones.

I just went through the in-person early voting process again in Georgia, for the Senate runoffs. The vast majority of Georgia voters voted this way in the presidential race. Here’s how secure it is and was...
(1 of 2)
2/2
 • Poll worker checked photo ID (US passport)
• Had to sign absentee ballot application to vote early in-person
• They checked signature against my registration
• Used machine only to make selections & print
• Confirmed selections on paper ballot
• Scanned ballot myself
I paid a bit more attention this time after the Dominion allegations. There were multiple confirmation steps to get the secure card to use the ballot marking device. My selections were clearly shown on paper. After I scanned the ballot, I watched the counter go up by one digit.
