A Central Outreach and Advocacy Center Executive admits on this clip to registering countless people using the same address in Georgia.

“I can’t even begin to tell you how many people have that address on their ID…We’ve done that for years.”

  • Kimberly Parker, Central Outreach and Advocacy Center executive director: โ€œSo, the majority of the people we serve donโ€™t have an address, so we allow them to use our address if they register to vote and to get Georgia State ID.โ€
  • Parker: โ€œBecause you have to have proof of residence, and so although we are not a shelter, we do allow them to use 201 Washington Street [Atlanta, Georgia].โ€
  • Parker: โ€œSo, I canโ€™t even begin to tell you how many people have that address on their ID. Weโ€™ve never run into any problem with that until this election. One of our board members got wind that they thought weโ€™re doing things not on the up and up because so many have the address, but weโ€™ve not heard any repercussion from it since.โ€
  • Parker: โ€œSo, but itโ€™s just a way to โ€“ I mean people have to have an address โ€“ the only way they can get ID, which youโ€™ve gotta have to get anything else, is to have an address. So, we allow that. Weโ€™ve done that for years.โ€
  • Adam Seeley, Central Night Shelter board member: โ€œA couple thousand people had our address registered as their mailing address for their voter registration.โ€
