Secretary of State to Karen Handel! He has already sent out thousands of tri-fold postcards telling Ga. voters they must sign & return the card confirming their address or they will be removed from the voting rolls. He's in the process of sending out around 79,000 postcards to Georgia voters who fit their profile...common black sur-name (like John Brown) Hispanic sur-name, Asian sur-name.
Kris Kobach is working out of the White House now from what I hear. One of the tricks he is doing is that a SOS of a State sends HIM their voter list and he does a crosscheck with the national list for "matching names" and returns a Crosscheck list to that SOS.
The link below is a blog from Greg Palast explaining some of the activities of this STOP AMERICANS FROM VOTING program they're running.

(10,014 posts)Their only goal is to suppress the votes of potential Democratic voters. What can be done to reverse their actions, increase the number of polling places and keep polling places open for longer hours? It seems like such a no brainer to me. Can't the Dems in Congress do something about it or are we just screwed?
