    Georgia purged an estimated 107,000 people largely for not voting
    A handful of states, most of them led by Republicans, are increasingly using someone's decision not to vote as the trigger for removing them from the rolls.

Voting rights advocates call it a new form of voter suppression, and they fear it will soon spread to other states.
