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.

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-…
A little-noticed provision in #Georgia’s new voting restriction law, #SB202, threatens the rights of 364,000 voters.
The new provision signed into law in March allows private Georgia citizens to challenge an “unlimited” number of other voters’ ballots. #SB202 gregpalast.com/uncovered-ille…
The result is that hundreds of thousands of voters individually targeted by a conservative group from Texas may not have their ballots counted in next year’s crucial US Senate race and the expected re-match for the Governorship between #StaceyAbrams and incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp. 
I moved to Georgia in August 2010. Somehow we made it through 10+ years in GA, facing endless political disappointments, but the state ended up supporting Biden. It has been a long, exhausting and difficult road. But we’ve begun to change this place
There are hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers like me and my friends who went door to door, phonebanked, and etc., but nothing can compare to the vision @staceyabrams had to make it all possible. She saw the problem, she made the plan, and it worked
Stacey, more than Barack even, saw the problem and built a thing from the ground up. She was determined, assiduous, but always had a vision of what all this would eventually turn into. Patience, determination, hope sometimes pay off
Holy smokes. Georgia is under 4,000 separating them and most of the ballots still out are in big blue areas.
2,441,904 for Biden to 2,445,539 for Trump in Georgia right now, with some 6k coming in from red counties but two to three TIMES that coming in from blue zones.
This is going to be wild.
This is going to be wild.
Whoa. Mail-ins from a RED county that came in just now broke for Biden, not Trump.
#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.
Two new court decisions have blessed mass voter purges in two swing states, #Georgia and #Wisconsin. This could be the launch of a new system for purging voters of color and young people that's expected to spread before the 2020 Presidential election. gregpalast.com/hunting-season…
In Atlanta on Friday, Federal Judge Steve Jones ruled against @StaceyAbrams’ #VotingRights organization @FairFightAction in its suit to immediately restore nearly 100,000 Georgians to the voter rolls. #VanishingVoters gregpalast.com/federal-court-…
@staceyabrams @fairfightaction #Georgia’s Secretary of State was using a method we call #PurgeByPostcard. Under the guise of “voter list maintenance,” Georgia sent out postcards that look like cheap junk mail. When a voter fails to return the card, they lose their vote. gregpalast.com/federal-court-… #VanishingVoters
#StaceyAbrams’ non-profit @FairFightAction has retained our team of experts to provide court testimony, based on our six years of investigation, in Fair Fight’s federal law suit to overturn #Georgia’s massive, racially biased purge of voters. gregpalast.com/stacey-abrams-…
@fairfightaction Our experts will testify that this new #JimCrow system not only fixed #Georgia's 2018 gubernatorial race between #StaceyAbrams and then GOP Secretary of Sate #BrianKemp — but has since gone all over the nation. gregpalast.com/stacey-abrams-… #VanishingVoters
@fairfightaction There are 20 states — mostly GOP-controlled — who are using the same #PurgeByPostcard system to remove voters from the rolls illegally. Please donate so we can expose it: palastinvestigativefund.org/?StopThePurge2… #VanishingVoters
In 2018, we uncovered 340,134 voters illegally removed from #Georgia’s voter rolls by Secretary of State #BrianKemp while he was running for Governor against Stacey Abrams. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian… #VanishingVoters
This was #BrianKemp’s secretive “cleansing” operation that won him the election over #StaceyAbrams, the first black woman in American history to run for governor. gregpalast.com/gops-brian-kem… #VanishingVoters
In 2018, #StaceyAbrams lost by around 40,000 votes to #BrianKemp in the election for governor of #Georgia. Kemp was Secretary of State at the time and he quietly removed over half a million voters from the voter rolls. lawandcrime.com/civil-rights/s…
I sued #BrianKemp to get the names of the voters he'd #purged from the rolls. Turns out they were removed because they supposedly moved. But we found out that at least 340,134 had never, ever moved from their registration address, yet they lost their vote. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian…
We hired the top specialist in Address List Hygiene—a fancy term for people who track where every American lives. We looked at people who paid property tax in Atlanta, paid income tax in Georgia, people who were getting pizza deliveries on the morning of the election—in Georgia.
Dear @WSJ,
Sorry, Mr. Rove, but #StaceyAbrams’ claim that the 2018 gubernatorial election was corrupted is hardly "unsupported." Our team found a half million-plus Georgians were purged from voter rolls by #BrianKemp in the year before the election. wsj.com/articles/stace…

They lost their vote on the ostensible grounds they’d left the state or voting county. We found 340,136 of those voters had never moved from where they originally registered. But Kemp took away their right to vote — while he was running for Governor. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian…
Mr. Rove is correct in stating these citizens were purged in accordance with #Georgia’s "Use It or Lose It" law. But that law only acts as an "alternative means" recognized by the National Voter Registration Act for determining if a voter has moved. truthout.org/articles/gops-…
Ho ho ho! Now that #BrianKemp is no longer #Georgia's Secretary of State, his office has informed the Palast Investigative Fund attorneys that they are throwing in the towel in the Palast & Butler v. Kemp suit we filed in Atlanta Federal Court in October. gregpalast.com/look-what-sant…
This opens up the remainder of #BrianKemp’s infamous, racially-poisonous voter purge files. Specifically, #Georgia will produce the hidden #Crosscheck purge files given to Kemp by #KrisKobach of Kansas — files Kemp’s flunkies told us had been “lost.” gregpalast.com/our-lawsuit-ag…
This data, which we will be analyzing is, as one of #StaceyAbrams attorney told me, “a gold mine” which can be critical in the law suit brought by her organization #FairFightGeorgia and in the fight to beat back New #JimCrow vote suppression. gregpalast.com/stacey-abrams-…
#Georgia: The mystery of the 100,000 missing votes for Lieutenant Governor — Greg Palast talks to @Thom_Hartmann
Just look at the numbers, they speak for themselves: results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/91639/Web02…
People said, 'Oh, I'm so excited about changing administration, but I’m not going to vote for #StaceyAbrams running mate?!?’ That’s like voting for President, and not voting for Vice President. [See drop off rate from Governor to Lt Governor and how it recovers down the ticket.]
Today there are two absolutely vital elections in #Georgia. The runoff for Secretary of State and the runoff for the public service commission, one of those offices you don't think much about. Both of them are incredibly important salon.com/2018/12/04/geo…
Whoever controls the Secretary of State's office, controls who gets to vote, how you get to vote, whose ballots get counted, etc., which #BrianKemp used to great effect against #StaceyAbrams to make himself #Georgia's governor. gregpalast.com/heres-how-bria…
What #BrianKemp and the GOP have been doing is blocking registrants who found that they were wrongly purged so that they can't vote today in the runoff. Everyone who was shafted out of their vote on Nov. 6 will be shafted out of their vote again today. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian…

Why did #StaceyAbrams have to end the fight over the #Georgia count? Because #BrianKemp not only planned his crime carefully — and make no mistake, knowingly preventing citizens from voting is a crime — #Kemp also had a brilliant “getaway” scheme... truthout.org/articles/what-…
I saw it firsthand in DeKalb County, #Georgia on #ElectionDay. I knew that some portion of the 340,134 voters our team revealed had been wrongly purged would attempt to vote anyway — as is their right under federal law. gregpalast.com/heres-how-bria…
Any American that signs a statement that he or she is a citizen and provides a local address has the right to vote “provisionally.”
What We Must Do Now: #StaceyAbrams, #Georgia, and Something Extraordinary gregpalast.com/what-we-must-d…
Days ago, I received a call from #StaceyAbrams’ lead attorneys. Our investigative team had “gold,” as they put it, for litigating the #Georgia election. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian…
But I’m a journalist, not a campaign operative. I could only offer my reports and my affidavit filed in federal court in support of @CommonCauseGA's litigation against #BrianKemp. gregpalast.com/affidavit-3401…
BREAKING: #StaceyAbrams says 'democracy failed' #Georgia as she ends bid for governor cnn.com/2018/11/16/pol…
Two days ago, #StaceyAbrams' legal team contacted us for our investigative reports and expertise. Because she was still a candidate at the time, I could only give her my public affidavit: gregpalast.com/affidavit-3401…
And we are proud she mentioned the heart-breaking case of 92-year-old Christine Jordan, purged from the rolls. gregpalast.com/92-year-old-ge… #StaceyAbrams #Georgia
2018.
Georgia.
A white man STOLE an election from a black woman.
In plain sight.

To everyone on the right questioning my assertion, it is outlandish that Kemp oversaw the election he was a candidate in, particularly with a series of voter suppression tactics targeting minorities.

Yasmin Bakhtiari was told she'd been purged by #BrianKemp because she hadn't voted in two election cycles. But the National Voter Registration Act is crystal clear: You cannot lose your vote for not voting. truthout.org/articles/georg… #Georgia #ElectionDay #VotingRights

1. #BrianKemp should have resigned as Secretary of State before he purged half a million Georgians, before he told the counties not to even hand out provisional ballots to people he had wrongly purged. salon.com/2018/11/09/vet… #Georgia #ElectionDay #StaceyAbrams #Midterms2018
2. #BrianKemp should have resigned before he started enforcing a system of #ExactMatch and other gimmicks that have basically suppressed the votes by literally the hundreds of thousands. salon.com/2018/11/09/vet… #Georgia #StaceyAbrams #StopTheSteal
To now to just come up with a gimmick like putting one of his flunkies in charge, a political hack in charge to replace him, is hardly blessing the #Georgia election as fair and democratic. salon.com/2018/11/09/vet…
