"I think the way that you juxtaposed the actual people who were victims with the people who were the perpetrators of this voter suppression was nothing short of brilliant." - @CkHoffler, #CiviRights attorney to @RevJJackson & @RPCoalition, on Vigilante gregpalast.com/ck-hoffler-we-…
"And then...to have the country understand the history of #BrianKemp and his family, being the family who brought slavery to the state of #Georgia… it was also something that was masterfully done." - @CkHoffler on Vigilante gregpalast.com/ck-hoffler-we-…
"I think everyone needs to see this movie. It’s not just about #Georgia, but it’s relevant to what’s happening in this country today." - @CkHoffler discusses Palast's new movie, Vigilante: Georgia's Vote Suppression Hitman, on @KPFARadio gregpalast.podbean.com/e/georgia-voti…

“Just imagine how different our world could be today if we voted in the 80 and 90 percent like we did in the past." — Gamaliel Turner

Turner’s story is featured in our new film, Vigilante: Georgia’s Vote Suppression Hitman. Donate & get a signed DVD: gregpalast.com/vigilante-geor…
"Your vote does matter... We could change some of these laws that are being perpetrated against us if we were to get out and vote. That's why there's such a hard-hitting effort to suppress our vote in any manner that they can.” — Gamaliel Turner gregpalast.com/georgia-voter-…
Retired Major Gamaliel Turner currently works as America’s expert on warfare of the future. He learned that his right to vote in Georgia had been challenged by the chairman of his home county’s Republican Party while working for the US Navy in California. ajc.com/politics/thous…

You’ve voted at the same polling place for years, did you know a provision in the #Georgia Election Integrity Act (#SB202) allows your voter status to be challenged without merit? gregpalast.com/georgia-has-a-…
In recent years, tens of thousands of Georgia voters vanished from voter rolls. In addition to “purges” by government agencies, new digital voter vigilantes are submitting similar, unsubstantiated requests to county election offices. gregpalast.com/doj-suit-misse…
A closer look at these efforts suggests that many recent #Georgia voter challenge efforts are targeted – seeking to remove young, Black, Asian American and/or voters from historically disenfranchised groups. gregpalast.com/uncovered-ille…

Watch this 103-sec clip from our new film Vigilante: Georgia’s Vote Suppression Hitman, and meet one of Gov. Kemp’s 88 voter challengers. This one likes to dress up like vigilante Doc Holliday – with a loaded six-gun.

Get YOUR name in the film’s credits: gregpalast.com/vigilantes/
No joke, “Doc”—Chairman of the Muscogee County, Georgia, Republican Party—challenged 4,000 voters incl. the US military’s expert on Warfare of the Future. Like most of the quarter million Georgians challenged by these GOP operatives, he's African-American. gregpalast.com/a-103-seconds-…
Get YOUR name in the film’s credits & a signed DVD for a $100 donation before the deadline on Tuesday, 13th September! gregpalast.com/vigilantes/

ERIC was supposed to expand voter registration. But a number of GOP Secretaries of State have taken it over and inverted it, basically creating a Crosscheck replacement.

The idea of ERIC was that if you moved, they would say, hey, would you like to register in your new state? That’s good. But Instead of helping voters register, the GOP are using the ERIC lists, which are often wrong, to remove voters by the millions. gregpalast.com/election-crime…
I did an investigation for @BlackVotersMtr in Wisconsin, where Biden’s margin was only 20,000 votes. They were going to remove 130,000 voters from the rolls. We found just short of 40,000 people on the ERIC-generated had never moved—a 25.8% error rate.

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-…

Why is #Georgia Governor #BrianKemp playing hide and seek with the Atlanta grand jury investigating whether Trump and associates attempted to tamper with the 2020 election results? Why is Kemp resisting the subpoena? gregpalast.com/kemp-resists-g…
Kemp’s resistance to testifying seems all the more odd because Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has bent over backwards to accommodate the skittish pol, agreeing he could appear by video — she was even going to let his attorney sit in with him!
It’s always dangerous to speculate on what’s going on in #BrianKemp’s brain, but let me suggest that he knows his benign status as mere “witness” may quickly change to something far more serious. gregpalast.com/kemp-resists-g…
