The Department of Justice has finally taken on True the Vote, the right-wing group behind the wrongful challenge of hundreds of thousands of legal Georgia voters.

I know what you’re thinking: Why did Justice sue two weeks AFTER the #GeorgiaRunoff election?
Luckily, the film and our related reports got out in Georgia before the election. gregpalast.com/dept-of-justic…

We held special voter impact showings from Coffee County to Gwinnett to Valdosta. Crucially, we confronted and exposed True the Vote’s agents, every one a Republican official, scaring them away from further challenges. 
The Wall Street Journal has just endorsed Governor #BrianKemp for president. And the New York Times has also virtually endorsed Kemp as the proper nominee for the Republican Party. This is the guy who created and signed #SB202, or as the NAACP calls it, Jim Crow 2.0!
Today, on the runoff ballot, it's not between Warnock and #HerschelWalker. The real race is between Senator Reverend #RaphaelWarnock and Jim Crow. gregpalast.com/mail-in-ballot…
And that's Governor #BrianKemp, the star of our film, Vigilante: #Georgia's Vote Suppression Hitman — narrated by @rosariodawson. gregpalast.com/vigilante-free…
I'm in Douglas, Georgia, an hour and a half from nowhere, where you are greeted with Confederate flags at the town entrance. I’m here for Olivia Pearson, the first Black city commissioner.
Olivia Pearson was arrested by #BrianKemp for supposed vote interference, that is, helping disabled voters. Even a white jury threw it out in minutes.
That is why Olivia Pearson is sponsoring the local showing of Vigilante here at the Gaines Chapel AME Church in Douglas, Georgia. #gapol
Olivia Pearson was the first African-American to serve as Commissioner of Douglas, GA. When #BrianKemp became #Georgia’s Sec of State, he falsely charged her with vote tampering, a felony crime which meant she was threatened with 5-years in prison. gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…
Olivia Pearson was acquitted, of course, but Black turn-out dropped as voters were not unreasonably fearful of the new Jim Crow laws. Meanwhile the episode earned #BrianKemp the designation by the NYTimes as the “pioneer of present day #VoterSuppression.” gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…
"The young lady that I was with... she told me, Miss Olivia, I don't even want to vote after all of this. I don't want to vote anymore. I don't want to do it. And I had to beg her and explain to her that that's what they're doing it for." – Olivia Pearson gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…
#BrianKemp ordered the arrest of the first African-Americans elected to the Quitman school board – whom he charged with the felony crime of ballot stuffing! The #Quitman10 were paraded before cameras in handcuffs and orange suits, like they were terrorists in Guantanamo. #gapol
All charges were dropped — eventually — but not until one school board member, Latashia Head, who suffered from lupus, died. Her father said the cause was “stress brought about by Brian P. Kemp.” gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…
In our film, Vigilante, we talk to local journalist George Rhynes, who extensively covered Kemp's persecution of the #Quitman10. Ahead of the #GeorgiaRunoff elections on Dec 6, Rhynes wants to hold a showing of our film in Quitman, but he needs your help. gregpalast.com/georgia-screen…
Under a new law, #SB202, signed by #Georgia Gov. #BrianKemp last year, self-appointed vigilante vote fraud hunters have, for the first time, the right to challenge an unlimited number of other voters truthout.org/articles/georg…
Maj. Gamaliel Turner—assigned by the Pentagon to a base in California—was one of the voters who had his vote challenged by a self-appointed vigilante. The man who challenged Turner, Alton Russell, successfully blocked 4,000 other voters in Columbus, GA.
So far, the 159 counties in #Georgia have sent the Palast Investigative Fund a breathtaking 149,168 challenges filed against voters.

Let me break the bad news: Absentee ballots voted in #Georgia have PLUNGED by A MILLION VOTES — from 1.2 million just before the 2020 election to a paltry 0.2 million — an 83% drop. #gapol #Midterms gregpalast.com/bad-news-vote-…
Why? Because under Gov. #BrianKemp’s new law #SB202, mail-in balloting has become insanely difficult, requiring enclosing an ID. And he’s shuttered every absentee drop box except during early polling hours — and all drop boxes are locked in offices! gregpalast.com/bad-news-vote-…
As one elections official told me on condition of anonymity, while in-person #ElectionDay voting could rise, it’s just not going to get close to the number of voters — overwhelmingly Democrats — who lost their right to vote by mail.
Georgia Governor #BrianKemp does not want you to know that it was his family that first brought enslaved Africans to Georgia
The original settlers in #Georgia had outlawed slavery until James Habersham — #BrianKemp’s ancestor — won a bloody battle to bring humans in chains to his plantations. gregpalast.com/governor-kemps…
Habersham’s reward for bringing the slave system to Georgia? He was appointed acting Governor under King George II. So #BrianKemp can claim a governing dynasty going back nearly three centuries. gregpalast.com/governor-kemps…
"I think the way that you juxtaposed the actual people who were victims with the people who were the perpetrators of this voter suppression was nothing short of brilliant." - @CkHoffler, #CiviRights attorney to @RevJJackson & @RPCoalition, on Vigilante gregpalast.com/ck-hoffler-we-…
"And then...to have the country understand the history of #BrianKemp and his family, being the family who brought slavery to the state of #Georgia… it was also something that was masterfully done." - @CkHoffler on Vigilante gregpalast.com/ck-hoffler-we-…
"I think everyone needs to see this movie. It’s not just about #Georgia, but it’s relevant to what’s happening in this country today." - @CkHoffler discusses Palast's new movie, Vigilante: Georgia's Vote Suppression Hitman, on @KPFARadio gregpalast.podbean.com/e/georgia-voti…
In November, you not only have the rematch between Stacey Abrams & Brian kemp for Governor, but Sen. Rev. Warnock's running for reelection against Herschel Walker, the big football hero. We have a 50/50 Senate, so there’s a lot at stake. via @FacepalmUSA

If the public says no more Warnock, or we don’t want Stacey, I have no problem with that. I’m kind of a fan of democracy, of counting the votes. The problem in Georgia is that they are at the cutting edge of what we politely call “vote suppression”. gregpalast.com/its-jim-crow-2…
The only reason #BrianKemp is Governor is that he removed over half a million people from the voter rolls before he ran against #StaceyAbrams four years ago. truthout.org/articles/gops-…
Why is #Georgia Governor #BrianKemp playing hide and seek with the Atlanta grand jury investigating whether Trump and associates attempted to tamper with the 2020 election results? Why is Kemp resisting the subpoena? gregpalast.com/kemp-resists-g…
Kemp’s resistance to testifying seems all the more odd because Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has bent over backwards to accommodate the skittish pol, agreeing he could appear by video — she was even going to let his attorney sit in with him!
It’s always dangerous to speculate on what’s going on in #BrianKemp’s brain, but let me suggest that he knows his benign status as mere “witness” may quickly change to something far more serious. gregpalast.com/kemp-resists-g…

For release, Fall 2022.
Featuring @MsLaToshaBrown, co-founder of @BlackVotersMtr — and a host of Confederate “reenactors” waiting for next insurrection — our film busts open the secret source of #BrianKemp’s ancestral wealth and power: slavery. gregpalast.com/vigilantes-geo…
#BrianKemp has kept his history of privilege and political fixes well hidden — including the long history of exploitation by his family aimed at both enchained Blacks and politically helpless poor whites.

On Monday, our lawyers wrote a letter to the #Georgia Secretary of State, #BradRaffensperger, demanding he restore over 198,000 voters that he and his predecessor, #BrianKemp, wrongly purged from the voter rolls by erroneously claiming they'd moved. gregpalast.com/georgia-do-i-r…
We're going to make this easy for Raffensperger. Our non-partisan not-for-profit fund will arrange for the Postal Service’s official licensee, Merkle Inc., to contract with the Secretary of State's office to obtain the correct list of those who’ve moved. gregpalast.com/wp-content/upl…
We will also provide the massive deep files of the nation’s leading “address hygiene” experts. All this can be done in a matter of hours — if Raffensperger is sincere about wanting to reverse this wrong against voters. #SaveMyVote2020 gregpalast.com/aclu-releases-…
#BrianKemp bleached the rolls whiter than white, removing over half a million voters. 1 in 8 voters in #Georgia was flushed off the voter rolls. But the vote-rigging Kemp was involved in is not limited to Georgia... gregpalast.com/palast-scores-… #VanishingVoters
#BrianKemp was in a conspiracy, and I use that word very carefully, with #KrisKobach, the white supremacist former Secretary of State of Kansas who's Trump’s Vote-Thief-in-Chief. risingupwithsonali.com/2020/02/11/geo…
#BrianKemp worked with #KrisKobach not only to purge voters in #Georgia, but using Kobach's Interstate #Crosscheck system they targeted 7 million voters of color in 30 states. vimeo.com/390830177 #VanishingVoters
#BrianKemp bleached the rolls whiter than white, removing over half a million voters from the rolls in #Georgia before the 2018 gubernatorial race against #StaceyAbrams — who was the first African American woman to run for Governor in the U.S. blavity.com/gov-brian-kemp…
But Kemp's racist vote-purging tricks go way beyond Georgia. He worked with #KrisKobach, Trump's Vote-Thief-in-Chief, who used the #InterstateCrosscheck voter purge list generated by Kemp in Georgia to target voters of color in 30 states. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot…
That's what flipped #Michigan to Trump and helped steal the presidency in 2016. And it'll happen again in 2020, unless we're able to expose and stop the GOP's election-stealing tricks. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
I have the absolute proof that #BrianKemp stole the 2018 election from #StaceyAbrams — America's first major party African-American female gubernatorial nominee — by illegally removing 340,134 voters from #Georgia's rolls. freespeech.org/stories/voter-…
We sued #BrianKemp to get his secret #Crosscheck voter purge lists and last week a federal judge agreed that the purge lists we're requesting are subject to the public disclosure provisions of the National Voter Registration Act. gregpalast.com/judge-rules-ag…
We want to get our hands on these racially-biased-by-design #Crosscheck purge lists because this story goes way beyond #Georgia and the gubernatorial race.
This is a BIG win, not just for me as a journalist, not just for Helen Butler, the Executive Director of the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples Agenda who is our co-plaintive in this case, but it's a big victory for voters nationwide. nytimes.com/aponline/2020/…
As @AP reports: U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross wrote in a Feb. 4 order that Palast and Butler "are entitled to access to the 2016 and 2017 Crosscheck lists.” news.yahoo.com/judge-rules-ag… #BrianKemp #InterstateCrosscheck #VoterPurge #Georgia #VanishingVoters
@AP These are the lists used to fix elections and eliminate voters of color. This case rips the cover off #BrianKemp and the state of #Georgia’s racially poisonous undermining of democracy. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot…
The court decision against #BrianKemp was a shocker. Our lawyers didn’t even ask for summary judgment — the Judge was fed up with Kemp’s lying and stonewalling.
But there's so many states left to go. I've just returned from #Wisconsin — the ultimate swing state — where I’ve gotten the inside info on the latest push to purge 247,000.
Unusually, #Wisconsin (led by new Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes) is resisting the removals — and requesting our deep data. The dark clouds are parting but the storm isn’t over. Donate to support our work: palastinvestigativefund.org/?StopThePurge2… #VanishingVoters #StopTheSteal
BREAKING: In an extraordinary move, Judge Eleanor Ross has declared #BrianKemp the loser in a lawsuit brought by our team to compel the State of #Georgia to open up its complete files on the mass purge of over half a million voters from the rolls. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot…
#BrianKemp and the new Secretary of State of #Georgia want to keep the lid on their methods for removing literally hundreds of thousands of low-income, young and minority voters on the basis of false information. They cannot hide any more. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot…
This is a huge win and precedent for reporters trying to pry information from the hands of guilty officials. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot… #BrianKemp #Georgia #VoterPurge #VanishingVoters
We have databases with absolute proof that this purge is racist and illegal. @StaceyAbrams is covering the cost of our experts in #Georgia, where her organization, @FairFightAction is taking legal action using our evidence. news.yahoo.com/georgia-moving… #VanishingVoters
@staceyabrams @fairfightaction However, in #Wisconsin, a court decision is forcing a similar mass racist purge of 234,000 voters. It can be reversed. We are prepared to team up with WI Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. courthousenews.com/wisconsin-elec… #VanishingVoters
