Yeah that's totally under selling what they're doing... What they're actually doing is they are hitting up areas that tend to have more transient quote unquote populations and sending out flyers that look like junk mails saying if you don't defend your rights within 90 days we're stripping you of them.
There is no reason to use trickery or tactics to make it look like junk mail, The only reason the governor of Georgia was elected was because he was able to purge 400,000 legitimate voters off the poles as the Secretary of State. He won Governor by a margin of less than 100,000 which means he basically ensured his own election which is what the right wants to do cuz they can't just straight win .. cuz they want to do terrible things and nobody wants them to do them
Source?
From a book called "How Trump stole the 2020 election" released in 18.
Also Guardian article https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/19/georgia-governor-race-voter-suppression-brian-kemp
The books spends more time making him a statement how various conservative legislatures are trying to purge. It talks about what areas they're trying to purge voters from and explores multiple areas. I felt like it was a pretty good read not saying it's 100% correct but a lot of things kind of make sense.
That being said a quick Google has sources saying it didn't affect the outcome I find it very disingenuous to be expelling voters in good standing while using cheesy junk mail style notifications. If you're really concerned about getting the voting lists all cleared up fine but do it in a transparent method no underhandedness.
