This is the first of a couple of lawsuits to be filed https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/11/georgia-naacp-voter-registration-lawsuit-842679
The Georgia NAACP is preparing to sue Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the Republican nominee for governor, in response to a report that Kemp's office has put on hold tens of thousands of voter registration applications, most of them from African-Americans, ahead of the election.
The injunction would seek to reopen voter registration in Georgia to ensure that 53,000 registrants on hold in Kemp's office — and possibly others affected by an outage of the Georgia Department of Driver Services and the state's voter registration website — would be allowed to register for the upcoming election.
The move was confirmed by to two people with knowledge of the NAACP of Georgia's plans. The last day to register to vote was Tuesday.
The strict policies enforced by Kemp's office for voter registration and verification have been under scrutiny in his campaign against Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, who once ran a nonprofit focused on registering new voters.
