A federal judge is allowing Georgia to proceed with a mass purge of its voting rolls planned for Monday evening, but he also scheduled a hearing later in the week to hear more arguments about the matter. Walter Jones, a spokesman for the secretary of state, said the purge was planned for overnight Monday into Tuesday. He said the exact number and names of voters removed would not be known until then and that more information would be made available later. Kemp was secretary of state and oversaw aggressive voter purges during his tenure. While some of the people removed from the rolls had moved or died, others were removed for simply not voting in several election cycles.
