It's the largest voter cancellation in U.S. history. Who is most impacted?

Georgia is planning one of the largest cancellations of voter registrations in U.S. history. Nearly half a million inactive voter registrations are set to be canceled this summer in an effort to have the "cleanest voter list possible," according to State Elections Director Blake Evans. Most of the registrations targeted for removal belong to people who have moved, changed their home address, or obtained a driver's license in another state. This cancellation will also include 100,000 voters who have not voted in at least nine years. 455,000 was the original estimate for the cancellation before it was updated to 478,000, according to the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
