The attempt to disqualify 16,024 voters registered in Cobb County from participation in the January 5 election is based on the allegation that they are no longer county residents.

Two complaints have been filed.

One is by Jason Shepherd, the chairman of the Cobb County Republicans.

Shepherd’s complaint was in an image format that could not be copied and pasted into the body of this article, but you can read it by following this link.

His allegation is that 16,024 people no longer live in the State of Georgia, based on the National Change of Address Registry.

The second complaint was lodged on the same basis, brought by a Cobb resident named Reardon, and you can read it by following this link.

The complaint is an attempt to remove 16,024 from eligibility to vote in Cobb County before the January 5 runoff.
