The Department of Justice believes that the State of Georgia is acting in violation to the voting rights act by cross referencing voter registration data. The state of Georgia has been cross-referencing data from the Department of Driver Services database and the U.S. Social Security database. If any information is found to be conflicting, then the registration is flagged for further review. The Department of Justice believes that Georgia has made significant changes to the voting process by implementing this system, without predeclaring it to the Department of Justice, in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.[1]
Recently many citizens whose status has been challenged under this process, and the ACLU have challenged this process, stating that it amounts to "intimidation and illegal purging." [1]
