MAJ Turner's a warrior on two fronts. As the guy who conceived the AT4 anti-tank weapon, he’s supporting the people of Ukraine. And as an African-American voter who’s had his ballot challenged under Georgia’s #SB202 anti-voting law, he’s fighting to save democracy at home.
Due to the war in #Ukraine, MAJ Turner was assigned to a base in California. Because of this, he applied for an absentee ballot, which was challenged under #SB202, which allows any #Georgia citizen to challenge an unlimited number of voters. gregpalast.com/warrior-on-two…
The only reason MAJ Turner even knew that his vote had been challenged was because the county made a mistake and didn't send him his ballot. #SB202
Here's the awful thing with these #SB202 challenges: most people don’t even realize their vote has been challenged. You get your ballot, you mail it in, but it doesn't get counted—you have to know that you're supposed to go into the county offices and prove you are who you are.
MAJ Turner was in California, so he flew all the way back to 3Georgia — at his own cost and on his own time — to defend his vote. Flying to Georgia to save your vote — that’s kind of a heavy poll tax, don’t you think? #SB202
And this isn’t one odd case. Republican operatives have challenged thousands of voters in #Georgia. We called 800 of them, and we couldn't find one illegal voter that they named. Altogether about 300,000 people are facing the non-count of their ballot. gregpalast.com/uncovered-ille…
