#Florida study finds "mail ballots were 10 times more likely to be rejected than votes cast at early #voting sites or on #election day" and "ballots cast by youngest voters, blacks and Hispanics were much more likely to be rejected."

DON'T GO POSTAL—OR I'LL BE TEMPTED TO GO POSTAL ON YOU!!!

STUDY: In #Florida "nearly 24,000 VBM ballots cast in the 2012 general election were rejected, and nearly 28,000 were rejected in the 2016 general election." aclufl.org/sites/default/…

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.]

Poppy Strikes Gold: Bush Sr. Made a Killing – 50 Miners Buried Alive gregpalast.com/poppy-strikes-…
While pundits are falling all over themselves spewing about the “civility” of the patrician George H. W. Bush, l must honor the memory those 50 men who were buried alive in a gold field in Africa so Bush Sr. could cash in. gregpalast.com/the-truth-buri…
To me, this is the most important story of my career — and almost ended it when Bush’s gold mining company (I bet you didn’t know he had one) sued my paper, The Guardian, threatening it with bankruptcy for telling the truth. gregpalast.com/the-truth-buri…

RED ALERT: I'm announcing my strong opposition to Thomas Farr as a federal judge in North Carolina. @SenateGOP has set up a vote on his nomination after Thanksgiving.

Farr is a serious threat to voting rights. Americans need to tell Senate Republicans to block this nomination.
Farr defended the Republican-controlled North Carolina Legislature in a challenge to the restrictive voting laws it enacted shortly after the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roberts, gutted the Voting Rights Act.
After gathering data on the use of certain voting practices broken down by race, the North Carolina Legislature drafted a law that targeted voting practices like early voting and same-day registration that were disproportionately utilized by African-American voters.

Trump jets Sessions, 5 more expected

Whittaker may be appointed, but conflicts, so many conflicts.

JS:”We all knew the Mueller inquiry was entering its decisive phase after the MTs.

Trump just bumped up the timetable.

Mueller anticipated this.

Data has been shared & IC has backups.

Try as he might, Trump can't make it stop.”

“The President Is Very Depressed”:

With Don Jr. Facing Possible Indictment & Endless House Investigations Forthcoming,

He got rid of Sessions, but Trump’s life is about to get much harder.

STUDY: Mail ballots cast by youngest voters, blacks and Hispanics were much more likely to be rejected than mail ballots cast by white voters, and that those voters are less likely to cure problems with their ballots when notified by election supervisors. tampabay.com/florida-politi…
"The main reasons why mail ballots are rejected are that a voter didn't sign the ballot envelope or that the voter's signature on the envelope did not match the voter's signature on file with the county elections office." 1/
"About 1 percent of all mail ballots cast are rejected and not counted. That's about 1 of 100 ballots cast by mail. Smith said that rate is about 10 times higher than for voters voting either at an early site or on election day." 2/
