In November, you not only have the rematch between Stacey Abrams & Brian kemp for Governor, but Sen. Rev. Warnock's running for reelection against Herschel Walker, the big football hero. We have a 50/50 Senate, so there’s a lot at stake. via @FacepalmUSA

If the public says no more Warnock, or we don’t want Stacey, I have no problem with that. I’m kind of a fan of democracy, of counting the votes. The problem in Georgia is that they are at the cutting edge of what we politely call “vote suppression”. gregpalast.com/its-jim-crow-2…

The only reason #BrianKemp is Governor is that he removed over half a million people from the voter rolls before he ran against #StaceyAbrams four years ago. truthout.org/articles/gops-…

In 2018 Kemp was Secretary of State, which meant he was in charge of counting the votes when he ran for Governor against Abrams. If you're the Secretary of State, it's traditional that you resign if you’re going to run for Governor 'cause you shouldn’t be counting your own votes.

In 2018, #BrianKemp refused to resign as Secretary of State, he knocked off Stacey Abrams’ voters, and this year he’s taken back control of the election from his own Secretary of State — that he appointed by the way. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian…

In March 2021, #BrianKemp signed a brand new voting law, #SB202, which gives him the authority to take over elections. So, once again, Kemp is counting his own votes, and in 2024, SB202 will also give him the right to overturn what any election board says. gregpalast.com/kemp-resists-g…

It’s not like #BrianKemp won’t use this power, because literally as soon as he signed the law he removed a very vocal election expert, Helen Butler, from the Morgan County elections board.

Then #BrianKemp removed 9 more local elections board officers. He’s removing the people with real expertise, because he knows that they’ll get in his way.

#BrianKemp’s new law, #SB202, says that any voter can challenge an unlimited number of other voters’ right to vote.

There is one woman, you’ll meet her in my new film, she’s a GOP operative who has personally challenged 32,379 voters in Cobb County. gregpalast.com/uncovered-ille…

This GOP operative challenged so many names, she said she didn’t wanna spend the money to print them all out, so she handed in a thumb drive and said, don’t let these people vote.

This has got no national attention, but in total, 88 GOP operatives have filed a breathtaking 364,000 challenges to #Georgia voters, who are now facing a blockade of their vote.
