What can be done to allow voters whose ballots have gone missing to cast their votes?

Fears of voter suppression were again ignited in Georgia on Thursday after state Democratic officials said that more than 4,700 vote-by-mail applications were missing in DeKalb County, one of Georgias most populous and liberal-leaning regions.
County officials acknowledged the missing applications in a phone conversation this week with Democratic voter protection officials, and pledged to call the thousands of voters to inform them of the error, according to multiple people familiar with the conversation.
A spokesman for the DeKalb County elections board would not confirm the details of the call. Sam Tillman, the chairman of the board, added that there is no evidence that there are any missing or lost absentee ballot request forms. He said of a list of 4,700 names provided by the Democratic officials, he could confirm that the county had only received 48 of the requests.

(1,744 posts)Truth be told: Obama should have carried the state at least once. Same for Hillary in '16. The same thing kept happening: votes kept being mysteriously lost or thrown out.
And it almost always slips under the radar.
How long has that weasel Kemp been Secretary of State again...?
