Here’s another way to defeat the vote suppressors…become a citizen!

There are nine million green card holders eligible to vote if they take citizenship.

Take a look at this chart with the number of citizen-eligible green card holders in swing states…

#July4
If green card holders had taken citizenship and voted, Stacey Abrams would be Governor of Georgia, Beto O’Rourke would have crushed Ted Cruz, and Hillary Clinton would have won the Electoral College on roller skates. gregpalast.com/for-july-4-dep… #July4 #July4thChallenge
So, Mr. & Ms. Alien, what do you say? Or were you not bothered by Trump putting kids in cages?

You’ve been paying taxes to Uncle Sam all these years. You’re even liable to the US military draft. The only thing you can’t do is vote.

#July4 #IndependenceDay #IndependenceDay2021
It’s time you became a citizen and have to make the same lousy choice we do every four years.

HAPPY JULY 4TH — AND WELCOME TO AMERICA!

88 #Georgia GOP operatives used lists created by True the Vote out of #Texas to challenge the votes of 364,000 Georgians.

True the Vote's major funder is #Wisconsin's Bradley Foundation, the new #KochBros, who've dedicated $2 billion to right-wing causes.
True the Vote's 88 Georgia proxies had originally challenged the counting of these voters' ballots in December, just three weeks before the Georgia Senate run-off race. ajc.com/politics/eligi…
Many of these voters had already mailed in their ballots and were unaware of the attempt to prevent their counting.

How can the Republicans get away with challenging 364,000 #Georgia voters on totally bogus grounds? #SB202 has another poisonous clause to deal with that...
Counties, who previously had final say over voter rolls and the counting of ballots, must now accept the challenges. If not, the State Elections Board can dismiss local voting officials. #Georgia #SB202 gregpalast.com/uncovered-ille…
The newly constituted state board is, according to the new law, under the control of Governor Brian Kemp and legislative leaders, all Republicans.

A private group called True the Vote out of Texas got 88, mostly Republican party operatives, to file challenges to block the counting of ballots cast by 364,000 Georgia voters — that’s over a third of a million votes! #SB202 soundcloud.com/user-835943867…
They are doing it under a little-noticed provision of the new restrictive voting law, #SB202, which allows any citizen of #Georgia to challenge an unlimited number of voters.
Under the auspices of this law, we found one super-challenger, Pamela Reardon, who personally challenged the right to vote of 32,379 Georgians. gregpalast.com/364000-voters-…

A little-noticed provision in #Georgia’s new voting restriction law, #SB202, threatens the rights of 364,000 voters.
The new provision signed into law in March allows private Georgia citizens to challenge an “unlimited” number of other voters’ ballots. #SB202 gregpalast.com/uncovered-ille…
The result is that hundreds of thousands of voters individually targeted by a conservative group from Texas may not have their ballots counted in next year’s crucial US Senate race and the expected re-match for the Governorship between #StaceyAbrams and incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp. Image

Once again the electricity barons of Texas are warning the lights will go out, this time because it’s HOT. Hot in Texas?!? #ERCOT #ERCOTFail #ERCOTFailsTexasAgain #TexasGrid #TexasPowerGrid #TexasDeservesBetter texastribune.org/2021/06/14/tex…
Northern snow states have plenty of juice for you, Texas, but all the lines have been cut at your borders so that you remain at the mercy of your power pirates, the last island of insane deregulation. gregpalast.com/texas-gets-lay…
But maybe I’m asking too much: regulation is the application of democracy to the economy and the Texas GOP fears anything that smacks of democracy. gregpalast.com/texas-gets-lay…

On April 20, 2010, eleven men on the #DeepwaterHorizon were incinerated when the BP/Transocean rig blew out.

“Accident”?!

That’s the official line and I could have swallowed it—except for a message I received from a source floating in the Caspian Sea... gregpalast.com/deepwater-hori…
The source told me he’d been an eye-witness to the BP/Transocean oil rig blow-out — not the one in the Gulf, but an IDENTICAL blow-out in the Caspian that happened just 17 months before its #DeepwaterHorizon Gulf companion exploded. gregpalast.com/deepwater-hori…
The hunt for the truth took me to Baku, Azerbaijan, in Central Asia (and detention by the dictatorship’s not-so-secret police), meetings with MI-6 sources in London, and beaches on the Gulf Coast and in the Arctic. #DeepwaterHorizon gregpalast.com/deepwater-hori…
