Days after Georgia Democrats warned that the stateās new online portal for canceling voter registrations could be abused, officials have confirmed misuse attempts ā including efforts to cancel the registrations of prominent Republicans.
additional protections for less high-profile voters include warnings on the portal that abusing it could be a felony, features built into the website to prevent a single user from submitting multiple cancellations, reviews of requests by county election workers and a postcard that alerts voters whose registration is canceled. He said those safeguards make it extremely difficult to successfully cancel someone elseās voter registration.
They really think a warning is going to stop bad actors from de-registering dems en masse?
Well certainly that warning comes with certain punishment, right?
The portal warns users that impersonating someone to cancel a voter registration is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. Hassinger said the Secretary of Stateās Office was consulting with in-house legal experts about whether to seek charges for the individuals who had attempted to cancel Raffenspergerās and Greeneās registrations.
Oh, nm.
"We want to protect votersā personally identifiable information,ā Hassinger said. āThatās part of running secure elections, and thatās the job that we take very seriously.ā
