Federal Judge, the Sister of Stacey Abrams, Halts Georgia Voter Purge Ahead of Runoff Elections
The controversy stems from the election boards in Ben Hill County and Muscogee County voting to remove the names of more than 4,000 individuals whom they claimed had moved out of state based on unverified data obtained from the National Change of Address (NCOA) registry. “Targeted voters”—those whose names appeared on the NCOA registry list—attempting to vote in-person would only be permitted to cast provisional ballots, while those seeking to vote via mail would have to provide additional evidence of residency before being sent a ballot.
Voter outreach organization Majority Forward challenged the boards’ “targeted voter” decisions, claiming that the NCOA is “notoriously unreliable,” and cannot be the basis for challenging the eligibility of lawfully registered voters.
U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner—the sister of former Democratic gubernatorial candidate and prominent voting rights activist Stacey Abrams—enjoined both counties from removing the “targeted voters” from regular voting rolls. Gardner held that purging the targeted voters likely violated the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA)—which requires individuals to confirm their change of address in writing before being purged—as well as the U.S. Constitution.
“Abrams’ interest could therefore be substantially affected by the outcome of this proceeding,” the motion stated. “For this reason, Judge Gardner’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned were this case to proceed before her. The Muscogee County Defendants respectfully request that Judge Gardner recuse herself from further involvement in the present case.”

Judge blocks residency challenges to 4,000 Georgia voters
COLUMBUS, Ga. — A federal judge ordered local election officials in Georgia to allow voting by more than 4,000 people whose eligibility was being challenged ahead of next week’s runoff elections for the U.S. Senate.
U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner blocked election boards in Ben Hill County and Muscogee County, which includes Columbus, from forcing large numbers of voters to prove their residency before casting ballots in the runoffs. The judge ruled that denying so many voters access to the ballot so close to an election would likely violate the National Voter Registration Act.
