      @monkeycageblog has become its namesake, a blog lacking vetting of the claims put forth. Quite sad, really, since it used to showcase peer-reviewed scholarship. Case in point: this post wildly inflates the number of persons affected by GA's exact matchhttps://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1054053795829813249 …

      Brian Kemp's discriminatory & inaccurate "exact match" system could disenfranchise 30% of eligible voters in Georgia, a whopping 909,540 people https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/10/20/georgias-exact-match-law-could-disenfranchise-3031802-eligible-voters-my-research-finds/?utm_term=.716ad9062f35 …

      I say this as an expert witness for the plaintiffs in the successful litigation that overturned GA's exact match policy, back when it was just a policy of the SoS office and not a law

      How does @TedEnamorado come to the conclusion that GA's exact match policy will disenfranchise 909,540? He links two voter files from L2, obtained in different years, and infers that any changes to the information must mean an exact match failure

      This approach is a fundamental misunderstanding of Georgia's law. Your info must match exactly to the DMV or Social Security administration databases. In fact, Georgia has automatic voter registration where you have to opt out of being registered when you interact with the DMV

      Georgia's exact match policy applies to paper voter registration applications that voters or outside organizations submit to election offices. The @AP reported 54,000 people were swept up by the law heading into 2018 (still a large number!) but not 900,000

      Another important point: when we won the 2016 lawsuit, Kemp entered an agreement that no one can be prevented from voting for failure to match for 26 months, which covers the 2018 election. No one can be denied an opportunity to vote in this election for an exact match failure

          But this DOES place a burden on the voter does it not? Especially those voting absentee? Or having to clear this up on election day?

          Registration places a burden on citizens. Many in the elections community would like to make registration responsibility lie much more with govt, esp since we interact with governments so frequently.

          It’s easier to scare people. There are legitimate issues but Kemp is right to say a lot of this is fake news. The problem is when low info voters are scared off and don’t even try at all.
