I was just threatened by Suzanne Staiert, #Colorado Deputy Secretary of State, who demanded I stop my exposé of her boss, Wayne W. Williams. gregpalast.com/colorado-voter…
Suzanne Staiert, #Colorado Deputy Secretary of State, said: "You mentioned the Secretary of State within 30 days of an election which could be a violation requiring you to register as a political action committee."
I noted that I am a reporter — and they are saying a reporter cannot mention the Secretary of State’s name within 30 days of an election! Really? gregpalast.com/colorado-voter… #ColoradoPurgeLists
I will not stand for this intimidation. I am proceeding with my reports.

They complained that they have 100 "complaints" about my site—because people can’t verify their addresses—BECAUSE, IN VIOLATION OF THE NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION ACT, SEC OF STATE WILLIAMS—there, I mentioned his name again—REFUSED TO PROVIDE ADDRESS INFO! gregpalast.com/colorado-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…
