#BrianKemp is the 3rd Secretary of State in #Georgia’s recent history to run for governor and the only one who has not resigned from office. He’s determining who gets to vote and where, who gets provisional ballots, and which ballots get counted. nytimes.com/2018/10/15/us/…
The previous two Secretaries of State who ran for governor resigned when they ran for the office — not #BrianKemp, because he knows he’s running against #StaceyAbrams who could be the first female African-American governor in U.S. history, and he’s losing.
It’s close, but #BrianKemp's losing, and the only way he can win is to make sure #StaceyAbrams' voters don’t get to cast their ballots.

Are you one of the 591,000 #Georgia voters Kemp purged in just one year? Find out here: gregpalast.com/georgia-voter-…

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…

Ohio Attorney General @MikeDeWine is in a tough race for governor against a very strong opponent in @RichCordray. He may not win. But he could teach sleazy politicians like that Brian Kemp person in Georgia a lot about how a pro campaigns while holding public office. <Thread>
Look at DeWine’s state Twitter feed — @OhioAG — pumping out advisories about subjects related to his jurisdiction: identity theft, consumer complaints, missing children. It’s great politics. It also doesn’t cross any lines of impropriety; some of this information...
...could genuinely help people. There’s nothing wrong w/a public official advertising dedication to the job he has while seeking another one. Using his current position to game the election so he can take another one is different. That’s what Kemp is doing, & it turns my stomach.

1.) I was one of thousands of volunteers who worked tirelessly for Jon Ossoff's campaign during the 2017 6th district special election. What was SO frustrating about that loss (aside from the fact that he would have made a amazing congressman) was that the outcome didn't-
2.) - make any sense whatsoever - not with what I'd seen on the ground as a canvasser, not with the number of Democrats I saw streaming into my polling place when I was a poll watcher. I'm not an election integrity expert, but I, like many other Ossoff supporters, were thrilled -
3.) when @MarilynRMarks1 filed a lawsuit challenging the results. And then a few days later #BrianKemp wiped the server clean of data. So many people sacrificed so much during that campaign for someone to be our voice in the House, and now we couldn't even contest the results.
