It’s going to be murderously difficult for Democrats to win in #Georgia tonight, not because Abrams & Warnock have been rejected by voters, but because new vote suppressing laws have made voting by mail & dropbox—overwhelmingly used by Democrats—nearly impossible. #ElectionDay
#ElectionDay Absentee ballots voted in #Georgia have PLUNGED by A MILLION VOTES — from 1.2 million just before the 2020 election to a paltry 0.2 million. 🗳️ gregpalast.com/election-day-i…
An 83% decline in mail-in ballots in #Georgia was not the choice of the voters but the choice of Jim Crow. #ElectionDay gregpalast.com/election-day-i…

Under a new law, #SB202, signed by #Georgia Gov. #BrianKemp last year, self-appointed vigilante vote fraud hunters have, for the first time, the right to challenge an unlimited number of other voters truthout.org/articles/georg…
Maj. Gamaliel Turner—assigned by the Pentagon to a base in California—was one of the voters who had his vote challenged by a self-appointed vigilante. The man who challenged Turner, Alton Russell, successfully blocked 4,000 other voters in Columbus, GA.
So far, the 159 counties in #Georgia have sent the Palast Investigative Fund a breathtaking 149,168 challenges filed against voters.

Let me break the bad news: Absentee ballots voted in #Georgia have PLUNGED by A MILLION VOTES — from 1.2 million just before the 2020 election to a paltry 0.2 million — an 83% drop. #gapol #Midterms gregpalast.com/bad-news-vote-…
Why? Because under Gov. #BrianKemp’s new law #SB202, mail-in balloting has become insanely difficult, requiring enclosing an ID. And he’s shuttered every absentee drop box except during early polling hours — and all drop boxes are locked in offices! gregpalast.com/bad-news-vote-…
As one elections official told me on condition of anonymity, while in-person #ElectionDay voting could rise, it’s just not going to get close to the number of voters — overwhelmingly Democrats — who lost their right to vote by mail.

Georgia Governor #BrianKemp does not want you to know that it was his family that first brought enslaved Africans to Georgia
The original settlers in #Georgia had outlawed slavery until James Habersham — #BrianKemp’s ancestor — won a bloody battle to bring humans in chains to his plantations. gregpalast.com/governor-kemps… Image
Habersham’s reward for bringing the slave system to Georgia? He was appointed acting Governor under King George II. So #BrianKemp can claim a governing dynasty going back nearly three centuries. gregpalast.com/governor-kemps…

"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…

"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…
