The Wall Street Journal has just endorsed Governor #BrianKemp for president. And the New York Times has also virtually endorsed Kemp as the proper nominee for the Republican Party. This is the guy who created and signed #SB202, or as the NAACP calls it, Jim Crow 2.0!
Today, on the runoff ballot, it's not between Warnock and #HerschelWalker. The real race is between Senator Reverend #RaphaelWarnock and Jim Crow. gregpalast.com/mail-in-ballot…
And that's Governor #BrianKemp, the star of our film, Vigilante: #Georgia's Vote Suppression Hitman — narrated by @rosariodawson. gregpalast.com/vigilante-free…
You better learn about the guy who the elite has already chosen as our next president. Image

I'm in Douglas, Georgia, an hour and a half from nowhere, where you are greeted with Confederate flags at the town entrance. I’m here for Olivia Pearson, the first Black city commissioner.
Olivia Pearson was arrested by #BrianKemp for supposed vote interference, that is, helping disabled voters. Even a white jury threw it out in minutes.
That is why Olivia Pearson is sponsoring the local showing of Vigilante here at the Gaines Chapel AME Church in Douglas, Georgia. #gapol Image

You only see these long lines in Blacklanta, where state law eliminated most dropboxes.

The official wait times in white rural counties and suburbs was 10 minutes or at most half an hour.

#Georgia #Runoff #RunoffGA #gapol #BlackLivesMatter #BlackVotesBatter #BlackVotersMatter
The people we spoke to in #Atlanta told us that the lines have tripled, not because of higher voting but because it was a practical impossibility under the new law to mail in your ballot. #SB202 gregpalast.com/raphael-warnoc…
From the 2020/2021 elections to November 2022, mail-in ballots in #Georgia plummeted by over 1 million, a breathtaking 81% loss of ballots — concentrated in Black-majority urban counties. gregpalast.com/mail-in-ballot…

#RaphaelWarnock’s in real trouble. Don’t be fooled by the long lines of Black voters. Here’s the real story... gregpalast.com/raphael-warnoc… #Georgia #RunoffGA #gapol
Two years ago #RaphaelWarnock won his Senate #Runoff only because he got three-quarters of a million mail-in votes — winning the mail-in vote by more than 2-to-1 gregpalast.com/raphael-warnoc…
So, within weeks of his victory, the Republicans in the Georgia legislature changed the law making it all but illegal to vote by mail in a runoff election. gregpalast.com/raphael-warnoc…

BREAKING: Cheryl Moses, editor of @BlkGwinnett Magazine, teamed with the Palast Fund to file a formal complaint with the US Dept of Justice Civil Rights Division. The legal action demands the reversal of severe restrictions on dropboxes in Georgia. #gapol gregpalast.com/justice-dept-t…
Last week, our investigations team reported what media missed: the number of mail-in votes in #Georgia plummeted by 83%, by over one million ballots since the last Election — almost all lost in the non-white majority Atlanta counties. gregpalast.com/mail-in-ballot…
Did it make a difference? You bet: Two out of three Georgia mail-in ballots vote Democratic.

Olivia Pearson was the first African-American to serve as Commissioner of Douglas, GA. When #BrianKemp became #Georgia’s Sec of State, he falsely charged her with vote tampering, a felony crime which meant she was threatened with 5-years in prison. gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…
Olivia Pearson was acquitted, of course, but Black turn-out dropped as voters were not unreasonably fearful of the new Jim Crow laws. Meanwhile the episode earned #BrianKemp the designation by the NYTimes as the “pioneer of present day #VoterSuppression.” gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…
"The young lady that I was with... she told me, Miss Olivia, I don't even want to vote after all of this. I don't want to vote anymore. I don't want to do it. And I had to beg her and explain to her that that's what they're doing it for." – Olivia Pearson gregpalast.com/marching-vigil…

#BrianKemp ordered the arrest of the first African-Americans elected to the Quitman school board – whom he charged with the felony crime of ballot stuffing! The #Quitman10 were paraded before cameras in handcuffs and orange suits, like they were terrorists in Guantanamo. #gapol
All charges were dropped — eventually — but not until one school board member, Latashia Head, who suffered from lupus, died. Her father said the cause was “stress brought about by Brian P. Kemp.” gregpalast.com/marching-vigil… Image
In our film, Vigilante, we talk to local journalist George Rhynes, who extensively covered Kemp's persecution of the #Quitman10. Ahead of the #GeorgiaRunoff elections on Dec 6, Rhynes wants to hold a showing of our film in Quitman, but he needs your help. gregpalast.com/georgia-screen… Image
