Georgia Voter Challenges by Republicans Yield Minimal Removals

Despite over 63,000 challenges, only a small fraction of voters have been removed from the rolls as counties largely dismiss claims.

Republican activists, aligned with Donald Trump, have challenged the eligibility of more than 63,000 voters in Georgia since July 1, 2024.
County election officials have rejected the vast majority of these challenges, with fewer than 800 voters removed or placed in challenged status.
The U.S. Justice Department has issued guidance to limit these challenges, citing conflicts between Georgia's new law and federal voter registration protections.
Critics argue that the voter challenge tools used, such as EagleAI, rely on outdated information and misunderstand election laws.
Forsyth County is an exception, accounting for 80% of the upheld challenges, while most counties resist changes due to federal law constraints.
