3. This is how the disenfranchise

Some states have the exact match law. Georgia is one of them. The people who have been kicked off the voting rolls and/or have had their registrations put on hold are told all they need is ID. They do not say that if the ID is not an exact match to their records, you vote provisional.

A "inadvertent" clerical error is all it will take to turn you away. When I moved and changed my registration to reflect that, My new voter card inverted my birthdate. Instead of reading 10/03/(I'm not gonna tell you the year). It said 03/10/(still not telling you) If I hadn't noticed and corrected it, it would not match my license and I would not have been allowed to vote. This is how they are going to deny the minority population the vote.


If you sign your registration, differently than you signed your license/ID/ you will not be allowed to vote in many states.
