Georgia: 8 Arrested Protesting Disappearance of 40,000 Voter Records 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In the United States, eight people were arrested at a Moral Monday
protest in Georgia over the alleged disappearance of 40,000 voter
registration records, most of them from people of color. The New Georgia
Project has filed a lawsuit against the office of Georgia's Republican
Secretary of State Brian Kemp, saying about half of the 80,000 voter
registration forms it submitted as part of a recent drive do not appear
on state rolls.
