A federal judge on Wednesday declined to force the state to immediately restore to voting rolls thousands of people who were removed last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voting rights organizations, including the Black Voters Matter Fund, sued Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger earlier this month, challenging the removal of what they said were hundreds of thousands of eligible voters from Georgia\u2019s rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones said he would not grant the immediate restoration of voters to the rolls because they have had a year to reregister if they were removed incorrectly and, if the secretary of state\u2019s office did reinstate them, it would cause confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlaintiffs acknowledge that they do not know how many people on their list of cancelled registrations may have re-registered before December 7, 2020,\u201d Jones wrote in his ruling. \u201cThus, the risk of dual registrations and voter confusion is high.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
