"Right-Wing Activists Launch Massive Voter Roll Challenge in Georgia"

Six right-wing activists, including former CFO Frank Schneider, have challenged close to 100,000 voter registrations in Georgia since the passage of Senate Bill 202 in 2021, which allowed citizens unlimited challenges against anyone in their county. These challenges have resulted in at least 2,350 voters being removed from the rolls and over 8,700 placed in a "challenged" status. Despite strict federal laws governing voter roll removal, challenges have proliferated, causing inconsistencies and potential violations of federal law. Voting rights advocates warn that these challenges create barriers to voting and disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
