Tell the Department of Justice: Investigate voter purging by right-wing extremists
Similar to the small handful of extremists responsible for book bans nationwide, a report by ProPublica revealed that 89% of the 100,000 voter registrations challenged in just the state of Georgia were instigated by just six right-wing extremists.
These challenges are a direct consequence of a Republican-led legislative effort, Senate Bill 202, which has allowed for an unprecedented onslaught against voters' registrations.
The ramifications of these actions are profound and disturbing.
Extremists are not making wide, sweeping changes; instead, they're exploiting small legislative loopholes to engineer an insidious erosion of democratic principles. Their methods include using bureaucratic red tape and manufactured irregularities to challenge the legitimacy of voters, especially those in minority and marginalized communities who traditionally vote against them.
One stark example of this is the former CFO, Frank Schneider, and urban farmer Jason Frazier, who have spearheaded these purges in Georgia under the guise of maintaining "clean voter rolls." The reality is these purges come after Democratic voters almost exclusively, revealing an underlying, malevolent strategy to silence opposition and distort the democratic process. Democracy be damned.
The threat posed by these undemocratic practices is severe and imminent. We are not just talking about abstract principles here; people's lives and futures are being directly affected.
The report highlights Joseph Riggs and Barbara Helm, legally eligible-to-vote citizens who have found themselves disenfranchised, their voices silenced in the democratic process as they've been unjustly stripped of their voting rights. They are just two of the hundreds of thousands of voters becoming victims of this Republican-empowered scheme that threatens the very foundation of our democracy.
Their voices are being muted, their rights revoked, and their faith in the democratic process threatened.
This is not democracy. This is a calculated, orchestrated attack on the fundamental principles of democracy, cloaked in the guise of maintaining electoral integrity. Purging eligible voters from the rolls is against the law.
