In 2010, 10 Black women flipped a local school board. @BrianKempGA responded by having them arrested & falsely charged w/ 120 voter fraud felonies. After 4 long years of harassment, EVERY SINGLE CHARGE was dismissed.

Yesterday, Kemp called those Black women “garbage” #gapol Image
#GeorgiaRemembers the Quitman 10+2. #GeorgiaRemembers the targeted harassment and intimidation of Black voters under Brian Kemp. And we will vote him out. Early voting starts October 17. A better Georgia is possible.
The audacity of @BrianKempGA to proudly return to Quitman, GA yesterday to raise money at a formerly segregated restaurant speaks volumes. But #GeorgiaRemembers and the Quitman 10+2 had something to say.

How. Dare. He.
Five members of the Quitman 10+2 stood tall yesterday and told Brian Kemp #YouWontBreakMySoul while advocating for Georgians to vote early for change.😍

THREAD: 50 Reasons Why Georgia's New Voting Law Really Is That Bad.

Each reason is cited by line so feel free to follow along with the actual text here: legis.ga.gov/legislation/59…
#gapol #SB202 1/13
HYPERCRIMINALIZATION: Georgia's new law codifies mass disenfranchisement and further expands criminalization policy in the voting process. 2/13
POWER GRAB: Georgia's new law removes significant power from the Secretary of State and gives the GOP-led, gerrymandered state legislature majority control of the State Election Board 3/13

Quick Thread on GA County Takeovers: In 2020, the GOP filed 60+cases contesting the election. Our judicial system rejected nearly all of them. GA's #SB202 is a workaround that could allow the GOP state leg to contest or sow enormous doubt into elections w/ zero judicial oversight
As @TindallSara has explained, there was already a process for low-performing counties that required judicial oversight of the State Election Board.

*No One Has Explained Why This Process Was Insufficient* Instead, all judicial oversight of SEB takeovers has been removed.
FLAG: Worse, as #SB202 is currently written, it seems the State Election Board can circumvent the entire “performance review” process that folks are citing “on its own motion” and pursue extraordinary relief. (The relief being the suspension of the board or any official.)
