In my County (Clayton) there were 6,721 deleted voters. I found out this information from my Board of Elections Supervisor only because I am on the Board of Election in Clayton County.

Marlow was endorsed by most members at a meeting of the Democratic County Chairs (Oconee chair Becky Vaughn was not there, nor at the last meeting of the local committee) in Habersham County a few weeks ago. Laura Floyd of Oglethorpe County did make the meeting and ultimately supported the decision to back Marlow.
