Brian Kemp Illegally Kept Tens Of Thousands Of Georgians From Voting - That's The Narrative

What he did was illegal. All the different types of voter suppression is at one level or another ILLEGAL.

I know the "media" doesn't put it that way, but that is the way it truly is.

It wasn't just Kemp either, as the Republicans on this morning's talk shows stated.

Yes, they are right. Kemp didn't personally not supply power cords, or put all the working voting machines and more polling stations in rural areas. He didn't personally make urban voters wait in line for hours to vote where in rural areas it was FAR easier. He didn't put the oldest most problematic machines in minority areas. His buddies did. Same thing. It was his job to make sure voting was "fair" and he didn't.

Kemp is the one that denied the tens of thousands of new registrations, and oversaw the voter purging of LEGAL VOTERS to make it harder for "non white" or "likely democrat" people to vote.

Systematic voter suppression by the entire Republican Machine of Georgia (and in the other red states, see crosscheck).

RICO.

If we don't fight this VOTER SUPPRESSION battle to the end it would be like ignoring Pearl Harbor.

C'mon Dems. Get off yer asses and carry the fight to the enemy. Today's Republican Party. They just cheat to win, and we hardly even complain. Maybe this time we won't let them get away with it. Maybe?

Please Rec. This is too important to ignore this time.

Southern states, and maybe all states need approval before any changes in voter rights are implemented at the state level. When Abrams brings her case before the Supreme Court there is no clearer case than Georgia that you can not trust states that have been known to discriminate will discriminate again. I can not understand how this signature match standard can be applied without having expert handwriting analysis. This should instantly be thrown out as discriminatory. All the "decider" has to do is see whether the person is democrat or republican to decide if the signature matches or not. Shameful!

That $9.5 Billion from the film industry would hurt. Maybe if everything in Georgia was boycotted, they would change some laws and allow fair elections...

when they passed that discriminatory bathroom bill.

NBA, NFL, ... everyone started pulling
out events and conventions from North Carolina.

This can be done in Georgia as well.

If you know an event that is in Georgia,
start writing the organizers to have it removed from Georgia.

I just posted my biblical-level anger at Republican corruption in another post. The gist is this:

RE-VOTE in GEORGIA!

PROSECUTE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF GEORGIA
(BOTH LEGALLY AND IN NONVIOLENT PROTEST)

FOCUS THE MEDIA ON KEMP.
He was in charge of the illegal activity and had the most to gain from it.

PROSECUTE ALL REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION

WORK ON DEFINING THIS NEW REPUPLICAN PARTY AS TRUMP-INFECTED CORRUPTION.

Stop swearing, start doing.

That asshole needs to be held accountable.

One quibble - "narrative" implies sort of a made up thing that a certain group of folks is pushing. This is NOT made up.

Kemp stole the election using massive undeniable illegal voter suppression.

That is the only narrative the media should be using.
