Well, here it is. The move we needed before the 2024 election is finally happening—months too late.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office has just announced plans to remove nearly half a million inactive voters from the state’s bloated rolls. That’s right—455,000 outdated registrations are finally being addressed. But here’s the real question: why wasn’t this done when it mattered most—before voters cast their ballots in the 2024 presidential election?
Let’s not sugarcoat it: clean voter rolls are essential. They’re the foundation of election integrity. Without them, the door swings wide open for fraud, confusion, and distrust. And yet, Raffensperger—who loves to talk about transparency—waited until after the 2024 election to take any real action.
Now, state election director Blake Evans is saying all the right things. “We want to make sure we have the most accurate voter list in the nation,” he says. Great sentiment—but again, where was this urgency six months ago or better yet in 2020?
Of the 455,000 names flagged for removal, around 170,000 are believed to have moved out of Georgia, according to the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). Another 100,000 haven’t had any contact with election officials in over nine years. That’s a decade of voter inactivity—yet they remained on the rolls during one of the most contentious elections in modern history.
And predictably, the Left is howling.
Radical liberal NGOs like The Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda, are already casting doubt on the process. They claim this purge will “disenfranchise” voters—despite the fact that Georgia law provides a five-year window for voters to respond and update their status. That’s not suppression—that’s accountability.
These half baked NGO’s trots out the usual talking points: unreliable mail, housing insecurity (homeless), lack of transportation, and of course, systemic racism. It’s the same tired script we hear every time basic election safeguards are enforced. If you dare to suggest that only eligible, lawful residents should vote, you’re somehow the problem.
Hmm, I wonder if they are really just mad that Elon Musk has cut their funding through the efforts led by D.O.G.E…
Here’s the truth: no eligible voter who wants to participate will be blocked—not under this law, and not under this process. What this cleanup does prevent is the kind of sloppy, outdated registration system that invites error, abuse, or worse.
So while it’s encouraging that Georgia is finally doing what should have been done years ago, conservatives across the state are right to ask: Why now? Why wait until after the 2024 election?
Raffensperger’s record is clear—he’s more concerned about optics than outcomes. If he were serious about restoring public trust, this voter roll cleanup would’ve happened long before the 2024 ballots were cast.
Georgia voters deserve better. They deserve elections that are not just fair in theory, but secure in practice—with accurate rolls, real accountability, and zero tolerance for games.
It’s time to stop apologizing for demanding election integrity. And it’s time for state leaders to stop playing catch-up.
