What the press calls the "meltdown" in #Georgia (and in the #Wisconsin and #Kentucky primaries) was very much a dress rehearsal for the plan for minority voting hell in November, not only in Georgia but in a slew of other GOP-controlled swing states. https://www.commondreams.org/views/2020/06/30/killer-lines-killer-cops-and-trumps-vote-heist-dress-rehearsal
Don't pull out your hair: this ballot burglary can be busted—as long as we understand the crafty new mechanisms of the vote heist caper that the GOP took for a field test in Georgia. http://gregpalast.com/killer-lines-killer-cops-and-trumps-vote-heist-dress-rehearsal/
Question: Why did Black voters Atlanta wait hours in line and risk catching a fatal virus?
Answer: You can't mail in your ballot unless it's mailed to you in the first place.
Answer: You can't mail in your ballot unless it's mailed to you in the first place.
According to an MIT study, a breathtaking 22% of all mail-in ballots are never counted. Mostly, absentee ballots don't get counted because they were never received in the first place. https://www.gregpalast.com/rush-to-vote-by-mail-could-cost-dems-the-election/
However, the “un-count” is huge because some states are simply refusing absentee ballots to hundreds of thousands of registrants—or, not sending cards that allow the voter to ask for the mail-in ballot. https://www.gregpalast.com/killer-lines-killer-cops-and-trumps-vote-heist-dress-rehearsal/
Georgia is one of the GOP's ballot-refusing champs. The state refused to send mail-in ballot requests to over a quarter million voters on their so-called “inactive” voter list. https://www.gregpalast.com/gops-brian-kemp-purged-1-in-10-georgia-voters-ive-got-the-names/
In 2018, Georgia purged over half a million voters on the grounds they'd moved. But there's more than a wee problem: experts determined that 340,134 Georgia “movers” who lost their vote had, in fact, never moved from their registration address. https://www.gregpalast.com/georgias-brian-kemp-purged-340134-voters-falsely-asserting-they-had-moved/
As the @ACLU's @andreayoungATL told me: “Georgia only has these extreme, anti-Black, anti-woman, anti-LGBT policies because of voter suppression.” #BlackLivesMatter
