Apparently, there's nothing stopping a person from challenging every single voter registration in the State of Georgia.
Fucking do it. Challenge every registration. Every last one. All 8,052,927 of them. Get it over with, and make it affect everyone.
If you challenge all of them, it'll give them an excuse to clear all the Republicans first while leaving the Democrats in limbo, so they could still ratfuck the election that way.
The other problem is that you have to have "a reason" to challenge the registration, and that's a lot easier to manufacture, on average, for the sort of people who tend to vote Democrat. For example, a liberal apartment dweller in Midtown Atlanta who moves frequently (even through no fault of his own, such as being forced out by a landlord increasing rent) is a lot more likely to have an exploitable address discrepancy than a conservative in the East Cobb suburbs who's owned the same single-family house for decades. That's the point of the article: the law is written in such a way that it's superficially non-discriminatory, but Democrats and minorities are structurally more susceptible to it.
It seems that you do not have to have a sound or valid reason:
What kind of "evidence" would you suggest making up when mass-challenging East Cobb homeowners?
Dead. Everyone's dead. All registered voters in the State of Georgia are dead.
