Thousands removed from Georgia's voter rolls reregistered after Kamala Harris' rally in Atlanta [View all]

Johnson is one of over 40,000 voters who have reregistered this year ahead of Georgia’s deadline Monday. Most of them last updated their registration after Vice President Kamala Harris joined the race, with roughly 25% doing so on the day of her July rally in Atlanta, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution analysis of the state’s voter roll.

“She seems like a strong woman,” Johnson said. “It seems like she’s for the people, for my people, regular people.”

The Georgia secretary of state canceled thousands of voter registrations before the beginning of the year for varying reasons — some were removed from the rolls for not voting or responding to mail from election officials in two general election cycles, others were deleted following a conviction with a felony sentence, and still others for moving to another state.

Now, many of these voters are eligible again and back on Georgia’s voter rolls.
