Georgia Secretary of State to remove 100K outdated names from state voter rolls

There are more than 100,000 Georgians set to be removed from the state's voter registration rolls unless they act in a timely manner. 

State officials told Channel 2 News that the removals are required by law, and the maintenance of the voter rolls must occur every two years. 

Critics of the move are calling this a voter purge. 

According to Channel 2 in Atlanta, most of the more than 100,000 poised to being removed from the list have submitted change of address forms to the post office or mail sent to their listed residences were returned. More than 18,000 were removed because they are deceased.
