A U.S. judge on Friday ordered Georgia to allow some 3,000 recently naturalized U.S. citizens to vote in elections next week after their voting registrations were put on hold, according to a ruling filed in federal court in Atlanta. The issue of voter suppression has been central to the governor's race in Georgia where Republican candidate Brian Kemp serves as secretary of state, the office that oversees the voter rolls. Civil rights groups sued Kemp in October over 50,000 voting registration applications that were placed on hold due to Georgia's "exact-match" law which requires personal information on voter applications to match state databases.
