The Purged: The #VanishingVoters of Trump’s America gregpalast.com/stacey-abrams-…
In 2018, we uncovered 340,134 voters illegally removed from #Georgia’s voter rolls by Secretary of State #BrianKemp while he was running for Governor against Stacey Abrams. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian… #VanishingVoters
This was #BrianKemp’s secretive “cleansing” operation that won him the election over #StaceyAbrams, the first black woman in American history to run for governor. gregpalast.com/gops-brian-kem… #VanishingVoters
#PURGED: Rahiem Shabazz

We escorted Rahiem to his voting station. They told him he couldn’t vote and gave him a provisional ballot. #BrianKemp had already ruled his vote wouldn’t be counted. gregpalast.com/back-of-the-bu… #VanishingVoters
#PURGED: Christine Jordan

#MartinLutherKing’s cousin was blocked by #BrianKemp from casting a ballot — despite voting in every election, in the same #Georgia precinct, since 1968. gregpalast.com/92-year-old-ge… #VanishingVoters
Christine Jordan's granddaughter Jessica told us her grandmother "held #CivilRights meetings in her home... She was here in the West End community when we couldn’t vote.” gregpalast.com/92-year-old-ge… #VanishingVoters
#StaceyAbrams often cites the illegal purge we uncovered in #Georgia. Now she’s taking action. Her group, @FairFightAction, has hired our team to update and expand our work to put before a court to overturn what we've dubbed #Georgia’s #PurgeByPostcard. gregpalast.com/stacey-abrams-…
@fairfightaction Because @StaceyAbrams’ new group, @FairFightAction is strictly non-partisan and dedicated to #VotingRights, we've released our files to her and our database specialist, John Lenser, will act as the expert witness in her lawsuit to prevent new purges in Georgia. #VanishingVoters
@fairfightaction @staceyabrams Our discovery and analysis of the #Georgia purge list was the culmination of our 6-year investigation which involved undercover work, hiring a team of Silicon Valley’s top database specialists, and filing our own federal law suit against #BrianKemp. gregpalast.com/we-sued-brian-…
@fairfightaction @staceyabrams But we’re far from done. The #PurgeByPostcard scam was launched by a #SCOTUS decision just last June. Since then, it’s been used to bleach the voter rolls whiter than white in at least 20 States, most GOP controlled. gregpalast.com/ohios-junk-mai… #VanishingVoters
@fairfightaction @staceyabrams We need to bring the sheer numbers and the victims of this massive new purge operation to the public in 2020 before the next election is stolen again. Help us: palastinvestigativefund.org/?StopThePurge2… #VanishingVoters
@fairfightaction @staceyabrams Help us stop #ThePurge before #Election202.

Give any amount, no matter how large or small: palastinvestigativefund.org/?StopThePurge2…

And pass this on to anyone you think gives a damn about the upcoming burglary of the ballot box.

I’m counting on you when everything is on the line.
