Faux “hero” #BradRaffensperger will take a bow in front of the #January6thCommittee for supposedly standing up to Trump’s demand that he “find” 12,000 votes. But where did Trump get the idea of massive vote fraud in Georgia? From Brad. gregpalast.com/stealing-georg…
McCathy-like, he told the press that over 1,000 Georgians had voted twice. (Never named one; not one arrested.) And just weeks ago, he said thousands of non-Georgians voted. (Never named one; not one arrested.)
Worse, Raffensperger DID try to “find” Trump votes: his operatives disqualified tens of thousands of ballots in 2020, challenged over 100,000 voters, and directed an illegal purge of 198,000 voters. gregpalast.com/democracy-now-…
#BradRaffensperger's illegal purge of 198,000 voters was stopped by direct action and suits by @BlackVotersMtr, @Georgia_NAACP, and other front-line groups. gregpalast.com/federal-court-…
Brad’s problem: you can’t steal all the votes all the time — unless you want to go to prison. And he wasn’t going to do time for The Donald. gregpalast.com/raffensperger-…
Raffensperger, Georgia’s Purge’n General, is the most vicious, racist vote suppressor I’ve investigated since Katherine Harris. Question Brad: Trump called 29 TIMES — yet, you’ve only handed over the tape of ONE call. gregpalast.com/there-were-29-…
Don’t expect questions about the missing call tapes or #BradRaffensperger’s phony claims of mass voter fraud. #January6thCommitteeHearings

I have a problem with #BenGinsberg, who said the election wasn't stolen. He stole it. I'm talking about the election of 2000, when he was the lawyer for the Republican National Committee for George Bush. #January6thCommiteeHearings soundcloud.com/gregpalast/ele…
#BenGinsberg successfully argued that it doesn't matter how the people of Florida voted, the Florida legislature has decided that the real electors are the Bush Republican elector slate.
You can't say just because someone challenges Trump, that they are moral and correct. #BenGinsberg is really dangerous. He's actually said that legislatures not voters determine the slate of electors. That's an opening for Trump 2024.

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

Know his name: Maj. Gamaliel Turner. He conceived this weapon that may be #Ukraine’s last, best hope of stopping Putin’s cruel armored columns. #MemorialDay gregpalast.com/warrior-on-two…
I’m in this soldier’s home near Fort Benning, Georgia because his ballot was personally challenged by the county Chairman of the Republican Party. We will hunt him and confront him. gregpalast.com/warrior-on-two…
In World War II, Black soldiers called this ‘The War on Two Fronts’: the fight for democracy in Europe — and democracy in America. #MemorialDay2022

To #Putin’s useful idiots who say that sending weapons to #Ukraine “just prolongs the war”~~ meaning , “#Zelenskyy should just surrender”... I’m old enough to remember when #Russia supplied weapons to Vietnam against the American invasion... 🧵
The Russian equipment prolonged the war, that’s true, prolonged long enough to allow Vietnam‘s victory. And that was good for the US, curtailing America’s imperial fantasies and producing in Vietnam a staunch US ally...
And if it were not for weapons from the French, that bastard German King George would’ve crushed our revolution.

State Senator Doug Mastriano, Donald Trump’s pick in the Republican Primary for Governor of #Pennsylvania, spent thousands to lead a busload of protesters to the January 6 “protest” at the Capitol in Washington. gregpalast.com/two-january-6t…
His chosen running mate for Lt. Governor (PA elects Gov and Lt. Gov separately) is Teddy Daniels. Daniels was also at the January 6th Capitol protests. gregpalast.com/two-january-6t…
In 2021, PIF photojournalist @ZDRoberts filmed Daniels speaking at the Unification Church — made famous by their worship services that include AR-15’s. Here is the wannabe Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania...

#2000Mules: Dinesh D’Souza’s new film claims to prove the 2020 election was stolen by stuffing drop-boxes with 817,765 fraudulent votes. But where did these ballots come from? gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
A ballot cannot simply be printed and stuffed into a box: every mail-in ballot is assigned and coded to an individual voter (your vote choice is secret but not the ballot envelope nor the fact you voted). gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
It would have been easy to call the voters whose ballots were supposedly stolen and used to vote without their consent to prove these were fraudulent votes. (Yes, it’s time consuming: Our Georgia investigation required 1,200 phone calls.) gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
