Last week, reports came out that because of Georgia's "exact match" law, 53,000 residents of the state who registered to vote have had their registration marked as "pending," raising questions about whether or not those voters will be allowed to cast their ballots in this year's election. An analysis of the pending applications by the Associated Press showed that they overwhelmingly belong to African American applicants. The ACLU of Georgia responded to the news by ensuring Georgians that the "pending" status does not prohibit them from voting if they have proper identification.
