50,000 purged from voter rolls in Georgia
STFU about ACORN already ... THIS is where the election will be stolen!

With reports of voting problems rife in the media, and instances of vote flipping seen in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Texas, elections watchdogs are on their toes for any more foul play.


In spite of their activism, 50,000 voters have been lopped off Georgia's rolls.


CNN's Abbie Boudreau and Scott Bronstein repor More..ted:

College senior Kyla Berry was looking forward to voting in her first presidential election, even carrying her voter registration card in her wallet.


But about two weeks ago, Berry got disturbing news from local election officials.


"This office has received notification from the state of Georgia indicating that you are not a citizen of the United States and therefore, not eligible to vote," a letter from the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections said.


But Berry is a U.S. citizen, born in Boston, Massachusetts. She has a passport and a birth certificate to prove it.


Berry is one of more than 50,000 registered Georgia voters who have been "flagged" because of a computer mismatch in their personal identification information. At least 4,500 of those people are having their citizenship questioned and the burden is on them to prove eligibility to vote.


Experts say lists of people with mismatches are often systematically cut, or "purged," from voter rolls.




The Associated Press reported that federal judges have order Georgia to stop using Social Security Numbers and driver license numbers to verify voters' immigration status.
