Political Rewind: Georgia Begins Biannual Examination Of Voter Rolls; Biden's Immigration Issue

Published: May 4, 2021, 2:37 p.m.

Tuesday on Political Rewind: State election officials begin the biannual process of removing names of inactive voters from the voting rolls. State officials intend to remove voters who have died or moved to another state from the list. \n\nVoting rights groups said they will be watching the process to make sure the state conducts it properly. Critics say the process disenfranchises voters by undoing the registration of Georgians who may want to vote in future elections.\n\nPlus, a new Democratic candidate enters into the race for Secretary of State. State Rep. Bee Nguyen announced yesterday she will run for Brad Raffensperger's position in 2022.\n\nAlso: After years in which Georgia hovered near the bottom of states in giving family benefits to state workers, Gov. Brian Kemp is expected to sign into law a bill that will provide paid parental leave for some 250,000 state workers.\n\nPanelists:\n\nRene Alegria \u2013 President and CEO, Mundo Hispanico\n\nTamar Hallerman \u2013 Senior Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
