Readers write to the AJC: Voter suppression in Georgia? The Democrats did it

Atlanta Journal Constitution

Voters should know the Dems did it

“Voter suppression?” It was the 1997 Georgia Democrats who introduced, sponsored and passed the now-infamous “use it or lose it” voter roll “purge” legislation that sore loser Stacey Abrams and the 2018 Democrats are using to attack Governor-Elect Brian Kemp. The exception on sponsors was Republican Robert Irvin.

It was Democrat Gov. Zell Miller who signed that legislation, HB 889, into law.

Contrary to the calculated howls from the Left, former Secretary of State Brian Kemp is merely “guilty” of obeying his oath of office and following the Democrat-concocted law.

Voters should be asking Democrats what they had in mind on the commonsense policy. Maybe it was long-forgotten interest in vote security?
