BREAKING: In an extraordinary move, Judge Eleanor Ross has declared #BrianKemp the loser in a lawsuit brought by our team to compel the State of #Georgia to open up its complete files on the mass purge of over half a million voters from the rolls. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot…
#BrianKemp and the new Secretary of State of #Georgia want to keep the lid on their methods for removing literally hundreds of thousands of low-income, young and minority voters on the basis of false information. They cannot hide any more. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot…
This is a huge win and precedent for reporters trying to pry information from the hands of guilty officials. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot… #BrianKemp #Georgia #VoterPurge #VanishingVoters
A key issue at stake are the #InterstateCrosscheck purge lists secretly provided to #Georgia by the Kansas Secretary of State in 2015 and 2017. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
#BrianKemp had turned over #Georgia’s voter rolls to Kansas official #KrisKobach, who worked closely with Donald Trump, and is known for his racially biased #VoterSuppression techniques. gregpalast.com/gops-brian-kem…
#BrianKemp tried to hide the #Crosscheck lists which he got from his crony #KrisKobach. The lists are at least 99.9% wrong. Kemp’s office claimed he did not use the lists to purge voters, an assertion contradicted by his GOP predecessor. gregpalast.com/salon-watch-jo…
Moreover, @ZDRoberts of the Palast investigative team obtained the #Georgia 2013 purge list provided by #KrisKobach through (legal) investigative techniques — so we know, and the judge knows, he has more squirreled away. projects.aljazeera.com/2014/double-vo…
@zdroberts #BrianKemp finally turned over evidence that he purged 106,000 voters, overwhelmingly voters of color, that were on the #Crosscheck list. But that’s just the tip of the purge-berg. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot…
@zdroberts Oddly, one of #BrianKemp’s defenses was that he turned over #Georgia’s confidential voter information to #KrisKobach so it could be used to purge voters in 29 other states, but not Georgia. projects.aljazeera.com/2014/double-vo…
@zdroberts Kobach’s #Crosscheck list showed thousands of #Michigan voters who’d supposedly also registered or voted in #Georgia. Michigan removed tens of thousands of voters with names like James Brown and Mohammed Mohammed — almost all with mismatched middle names.
@zdroberts The #Michigan Interstate Crosscheck purge of #Georgia voters was key to Trump’s official victory margin of 10,700 in Michigan, putting Trump over the top in the electoral college. gregpalast.com/election-stole…
@zdroberts The #Crosscheck list identifies over half a million Georgians — including 1 in 7 African-Americans in the state — as having moved out of Georgia. projects.aljazeera.com/2014/double-vo…
@zdroberts Surprising all parties, Judge Eleanor Ross ruled that #BrianKemp’s defense was so weak that no trial is needed. The judge acted “sua sponte” — on her own initiative, unrequested by our attorneys. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot…
@zdroberts I'd like to thank my lawyers Brian Spears of Atlanta and Jeanne Mirer of New York for taking this case pro bono to rip the cover off #BrianKemp’s and the state of #Georgia’s racially poisonous undermining of democracy. gregpalast.com/kemp-loses-vot… #VanishingVoters
@zdroberts Our team is completing work on our short film of how exactly #BrianKemp illegally eliminated 340,134 voters from the rolls, stealing the election from @StaceyAbrams. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian… #VanishingVoters
@zdroberts @staceyabrams Our film then takes us to #Wisconsin where Kemp's techniques are key to a push to block 247,000 mostly Dem voters and thereby keep WI, the swing state of swing states, in the Trump column.
