Latosha Brown of Black Voters Matter said that the effort to intimidate senior black voters in Georgia failed as the seniors who were pulled off of their bus are voting and taking friends and family with them to vote.
Brown said on MSNBC on Sunday:
What’s really interesting is their resilience and how strong they are even when the bus was stopped, immediately one of them said out loud, they were like they want us to get off the bus. They weren’t shocked. Let’s think about it. They are 70 and 80. They have seen voter suppression. They have experienced a lot. As they were getting off the bus, many said don’t worry about it, baby. We going to vote. We went down — we went back to — we drove three hours and went back on Wednesday.
When we were there on Wednesday, one of the women who was on the bus said I got straight off the bus and got in my truck and went and took a friend to vote. There were others that said they voted. What it really did is strengthened their resolve that they were determined they were going to vote. Since that time, almost all of them have gone to vote. They didn’t just go by themselves. Many of them took a family member or went with a family member.

They know what's going on, and they know what to do to combat it.
Bravo to this brave group.
Every vote matters. The other side wants to stop you from voting because they know your vote matters.
