Funny how you guys forgot the part that Georgia Democrats passed the voter purge bill and had it signed into law by the democrat Governor in 1997. The law has been used to purge voter rolls every year since. The only precincts in Georgia that were allowed to stay open after the 7pm deadline to continue voting were in heavily african-american precincts in inner city Atlanta. Record numbers of minority voters.Ironically, the voter purge law was aimed at the Republican vote, the democrats had held all major offices, legislature senators, house of reps. from 1865-1980. Republicans didn't always vote consistently because dem. victory was a forgone conclusion. Then in 1980, the growth of Atlanta started to change change things. by 1997, dems still had total control and were looking for ways to slow down republican voting. Had nothing to do with minority voting. Minorities have been in the democrats pocket for decades in Georgia.

What goes around, comes around.
