BREAKING: @ACLUofGA has just released a report by the Palast Investigative Fund titled "Georgia Voter Roll Purge Errors" that concludes the State has likely incorrectly removed nearly 200,000 #Georgia citizens from the voter rolls in 2019. gregpalast.com/aclu-releases-…
To allow #Georgia voters that have been removed from the rolls to re-register in time for the election, the Palast Investigative Fund has created a website where Georgians can check to see if they are on the purge list. #GeorgiaPurge savemyvote2020.org/georgia-voter-…
In October 2019, 313,243 citizens were purged from #Georgia's voter rolls on the grounds they had moved from their registration address.

We found 198,351 of these voters had, in fact, not moved.

This represents a massive 63.3% error rate.

The Palast Investigative Team worked itself into the Trump rally in Duluth, Georgia on Wednesday, where the themes were denial of Trump’s election defeat in 2020 and threats of armed violence if he’s not declared victor in two weeks. #Election2024
In a red-white-and-blue tutu, Trump socks, earnings and other Trump gewgaws, one die hard supporter repeated a line we heard over and over, “They [the Democrats] cheated. There was bushels and baskets full and car loads of, votes that came in in the middle of the night.” Image
How will the MAGAs react if Trump loses? Another Trump supporter, Derek Molenhour, showing off his AR-15 assault weapon T-shirt — he sells piles of them — said, “If [Trump] loses this, then it’s it’s impossible to say that it was not rigged.” Image

Get ready for the quiet coup in November. Trump’s dreams of overturning the vote count of 2020 can now come true in 2024, thanks to a new rule passed by the MAGA-controlled Georgia State Election Board. 🧵 Image
Let me break this down. Four years ago, Trump called the Secretary of State of Georgia and demanded: “What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state.”
The Republican pol he was calling, Brad Raffensperger, has been played as a hero, supposedly standing up for the principle that the vote of the people cannot be overturned.

Georgia launches new voter registration cancellation website — then leaks data of EVERY GA voter. What could go wrong?!?🤦‍♂️ Image
This week Georgia rolled out a new website where people can let the state know they’ve moved (or their relative has died) and cancel their voter registration online. It’s super easy; you just plug in your info and, poof, your voter registration vanishes. gregpalast.com/georgias-lates…
The problem with the new “cancel my registration” site is that bad actors, if they know a person’s name, address, DOB, and either Social Security or drivers’ license number, can simply go in and cancel other people they don’t want voting.

Do you know about Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order 13950?  If you don’t, be afraid. Be very afraid. 🧵 Image
Trump has a plan to enforce amnesia by law — teaching history will be a criminal act. gregpalast.com/trumps-plan-to…
Just weeks before he was fired by America’s voters in 2020, President Trump issued this piece of nastiness which was quickly rescinded by just-inaugurated President Biden. law.ucla.edu/news/biden-rev…

🚨 Instead of counting Joe Biden’s brain cells, we need to be counting “vigilantes,” the self-proclaimed vote fraud hunters who, under new state laws, can challenge the vote of their fellow Americans and stop their votes from being counted.
In 2022, 88 self-appointed GOP vote fraud hunters challenged 180,000 voters’ registrations in Georgia. They successfully removed thousands of voters from the rolls in that state. gregpalast.com/the-real-issue…
The group behind the attack on US citizens, True the Vote, glorying in their success in Georgia, has rolled out the vote challenge operation to several swing states and––Are you ready for this numbers?––they signed up 44,000 volunteer vigilante vote challengers so far this year. Image

While most of the press is busy blathering about whether another Trump conviction will affect the vote, literally a million voters are losing their ballots with hardly a peep in the press.
One such voter, whom you’ll meet in our film Vigilantes Inc., MAJ. Gamaliel Turner, had to fly thousands of miles and bring in a Washington lawyer to have his 2022 ballot counted. gregpalast.com/warrior-on-two…
Mark Elias, the voting rights lawyer for Major Turner, is losing his mind over the failure of the press to see the #1 threat to democracy in 2024: hundreds of thousands of vigilante challenges taken from lists created from uber-Right-wing groups led by True the Vote. Image
