Salon TV: How to Steal #Georgia in 7 Minutes gregpalast.com/salon-watch-jo…
#BrianKemp, #Georgia’s secretary of state, purged 550,702 Georgians from the voter rolls in 2016 and 2017. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian…
How did #Kemp pull off this mass extinction of #VotingRights? Besides what I call the “#PurgeByPostcard trick” to remove a third of a million voters, Kemp has a devil’s toolkit of vote-bending tricks…
The fact that millions of voters lost their registrations without notice that they’d been purged means that Democrats may have effectively lost any chance of winning key elections before a single vote is cast. gregpalast.com/salon-election…

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…

🗣️People were calling for the resignation of Brian Kemp before the Gubernatorial election that he was in against Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams, started. Kemp was #Georgia's Secretary of State (SOS) until last Thursday 11/8/18 when he resigned.

🛑But—

cnn.com/2018/11/09/opi…
👉Rick Scott is Governor of #Florida until January 9th—so he's Ken Detzner's supervisor until that time. He appointed Ketzner to the SOS post in January 2012.

⁉️With all the controversy surrounding the Florida elections, isn't this a bigger CONFLICT OF INTEREST than Kemp's?
🔥🔥Not only that!🔥🔥

⚖️Rick Scott had to be stopped by a court from doing this▶️between 3 judges' resignations at midnight on 1/8/19 and the next governor's swearing in ceremony at 12 noon on 1/9/19.👇

@AriBerman Why is @BrianKempGA allowed to have any responsibility over the voter rolls when he is an invested party in the upcoming election? He should be removed from any authority over the voter rolls. He's already been involved in a lawsuit related to Ossoff & Karen Handel, who was in
@AriBerman @BrianKempGA the position of Secretary of State with authority over the voter rolls herself, when she was declared winner in an election with highly suspicious results. Kemp who stepped into Handel's position, was told by the court to preserve the related hard drives with all
@AriBerman @BrianKempGA data intact for the court case, but defied the judges orders and erased the drives. He should have been restrained from ever having any responsibility over the voter rolls or any other election related responsibilities.

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.
