@PeachResist @nytimes Coincidentally last week I was asking @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv if anyone had written an OpEd in a major paper about Kemp and his criminal Election actions and now Ta Da!...a true example of ask and it shall be given;)

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv A Breakdown of @ProfCAnderson’s @nytimes OpEd about our Sec. of State, @BrianKempGA’s CORRUPT control over our Election System:

My opinion: Kemp violates our Constitutional Right to Vote. He DISHONORS everyone who serves and has served our country since the American Revolution.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA 2. “Voter suppression keeps Georgia a red state.” #gapol

I would also argue that Diebold Voting Computers not only keep Georgia a Red State - but artificially changed Georgia from a Blue to Red State from 2002 to today.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA 3. Last month our Sec. of State and Election Supervisor, Brian Kemp ran against @CaseyCagle in the Republican Primary for Governor.

Polls showed Kemp ahead by a couple of points, but then Kemp won by a 37% margin!

Was it Trump’s endorsement that tipped the scales?

Or...

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle 4. Or was it “hackable polling machines, voter roll purges, refusing to register voters until after an election, the use of investigations to intimidate” minority groups?

All of the above.

Plus: ALL of our county’s (Cobb) Voting Machines suddenly “died” on Primary Day. #GA06

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle 5. “Whites make up less than 60 percent of the state’s population but more than 90 percent of people who voted Republican in the primary.”

We can see why the @GaRepublicans work so hard to CHEAT, LIE and STEAL to win. Without manipulating votes and voters, they’d lose bigly.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans 6. “The state’s gerrymandered districts, drawn and redrawn by the Republican-dominated Legislature, mirror the inordinate and disproportionate power of this constituency.”

Before the 2017 Special Election the GA GOP gerrymandered key districts to alter upcoming election results.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans 7. This Brian Kemp Voter Suppression tactic was news to me. Kemp’s “Georgia Bureau of Investigations was about preventing-in-person voter fraud” which Prof. Anderson stated doesn’t exist.

😡🗳The real motive was to intimidate organizations that help register minority voters.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans 8. Kemp began “investigations into organizations that registered nearly 200,000 Asian-American and African American voters - efforts that resulted in the first majority-black school board in a small town.”

These racist tactics resemble the Nazi SS and Trump’s ICE Gestapo.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans 9. Of course Kemp’s SS Investigations “yielded no charges, no indictments, no convictions despite years of” knocking down doors and innocents losing their jobs.

But “the intimidation had an impact.”

One attorney reported, “I was shocked. I was scared.”

WTF @NathanDeal?!

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal 10. If all the minority groups in the state are registered to vote, the Democrats “can win these elections in November.” - Kemp

Imagine if GA Leaders fought for our CONSTITUTION?

Our RULE OF LAW?

Our PEOPLE?

Imagine if GA had Fair Elections?

Imagine if EVERY VOTE COUNTED?

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal 11. If you haven’t heard about the GOP’s (Evil) Crosscheck System, it’s time you do!

Not unique to GA, Crosscheck weeds out and tosses voters off of voter rolls based on tiny 👐 errors or mismatches.

Kemp kept 35,000 mostly minority voters off the voter rolls with Crosscheck.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal 12. Not mentioned in Prof. Anderson’s OpEd is the MASSIVE DATA BREACH “one of the largest ever by a state” for which Brian Kemp was sued.

SIX MILLION Voters had their personal data sent to “the news media, political parties” oh and, surprise, surprise @GaGunOwners Magazine!

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners 13. @ajc: Personal Data released (“clerical error”) included DOB, SS and Driver’s License Numbers.

A month after the breach Kemp still had “not notified a single Georgia citizen that his or her information may have been compromised.”

😡 How is Brian Kemp not in jail already?!

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners @ajc 14. @ajc: Kemp - as required by LAW - also hadn’t “notified any consumer reporting agencies about the breach” (6 Million Voters Personal Data!) as it “could compromise the security, confidentiality or integrity of personal information.”

IGNORING DATA BREACH RISKS is Kemp’s MO.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners @ajc 15. Prof. Anderson agrees: “Mr. Kemp has been...lax about the cybersecurity of the state’s 27,000 electronic voting machines” -
‘Voting Computers’ as expert @rad_atl states.

Like Trump, Kemp 🙉🙈🙊 when it comes to acknowledging the confirmed Russian hacking.

Why? Let’s see...

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners @ajc @rad_atl 16. My regular followers:
🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Ooh! Ooh! We know!

Yep. That crazy coincidental (or not!) connection between Russia, Ambassador Kislyak, KSU and Kemp.

Prof. Anderson mentions it, too.

@kennesawstate houses Georgia’s Centralized Election System -
Servers and all!

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners @ajc @rad_atl @kennesawstate 17. KSU celebrated “A Year of Russia” 2016-17.

🤔 What?! When?!

Guess who came to dinner?

Russian Ambassador Kislyak!

Why would Sergei visit a small GA University?

KSU houses GA’s Election Center.

Who, alone, is in charge of GA’s Election Center?

Brian Kemp.

😒 Yep.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners @ajc @rad_atl @kennesawstate 18. Prof. Anderson (and @rad_atl):

“Georgia’s electronic voting machines run on Windows 2000.” (Our 20yo son, literally, did a spit-take when I told our family about this!)

“So like EVERYONE could hack into our system, Mom.”

And there’s no paper trail. No way to AUDIT results.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners @ajc @rad_atl @kennesawstate 19. Kemp ignored Dept. of Homeland Security warnings until a DefCon Hacker got control of GA’s Voting Machines - garnering nationwide publicity.

“Kemp finally accepted federal dollars” and completed some minor, but ineffective updates.

“His efforts were too little, too late.”

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners @ajc @rad_atl @kennesawstate 20. Kemp has “pulled off an incredible feat:” GA’s population has increased since 2012, “but the number of registered voters has decreased.”

The majority of those NOT on current voter rolls are, not surprisingly, minorities.

CONTACT @GovernorDeal
Demand he #FireKemp!

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners @ajc @rad_atl @kennesawstate @GovernorDeal 21. WRITE to your local Election Board of Commissioners - Individually (no cc’s)

Attend Meetings

Request:
HANDMARKED PAPER BALLOTS

Paper Ballots CAN be installed by November.

No, they’re NOT costly. They’re cost effective.

Local Boards are NOT beholden to Kemp/State Board.

@PeachResist @nytimes @MarilynRMarks1 @jennycohn1 @CoalitionGoodGv @ProfCAnderson @BrianKempGA @CaseyCagle @GaRepublicans @NathanDeal @GaGunOwners @ajc @rad_atl @kennesawstate @GovernorDeal 22. Next I’m going to RT the thread from last week’s @CoalitionGoodGv’s Meeting hosted by computer experts @rad_atl and Logan Lamb; Lead Lawyer @MarilynRMarks1 and Activist @ScissorRunner33.

They outlined the technical vulnerabilities of our state’s Election System. Very scary!
