Now what about the voter purges? An investigative piece by American Public Media reported that nearly 600,000 Georgia voters were removed from the rolls in 2017. Team Kemp has an explanation for that: A 2016 lawsuit brought by Common Cause and the NAACP over the state’s voter list temporarily halted the biennial purge of inactive voters. After the lawsuit was thrown out, Georgia had two cycles’ worth of inactive voters to remove from its list. ~ “But without the context and with hyperbolic rhetoric, the claims of voter suppression aren’t much different from the demagoguery Democrats decry from the likes of Kemp and Donald Trump.” ~ Brian Kemp’s Bid for Governor Depends on Erasing the Black Vote in Georgia ~ Uber Eats driver who shot and killed customer found guilty on all counts ~ problems ~ dylan’s masterpiece ~ After the Retail Apocalypse, Prepare for the Property Tax Meltdown ~ herman hesse ~ @realDonaldTrump Congratulations to Brian Kemp on becoming the new Governor of Georgia.

Were police justified in wanting a loud demonstration held outside? Does this constitute a “breach of the peace” which would justify arresting Sen. Williams? .@elenaparent ~ If you went to a voting place outside the county where you live, and request a ballot, then that provisional ballot should be thrown away. ~ To me, the issue is the Abrams campaign making a high octane issue out of voter suppression. There is a good bit of nuance there, which gets lost in all the rhetoric. I think Abrams knew a lot of what she was saying was not true, but also saw a potent campaign issue. Another issue is the way her charges were believed without question, both by the voting public and the corporate media. The Media especially should be ashamed. A story about RACISM and government corruption/incompetence in backwoods Georgia! Of course the media went bonkers over that. That doesn’t make it the truth. ~ I want back the Xmas of my youth. It was what you wanted it to be. If you want to talk about Jesus, you can. If you want to shop, you can. If you want to go to parties, you can. It is a shame when choosing to say Merry Christmas, instead of Happy Holidays, is a political statement. ~ The Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS) or the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) are the law enforcement entities responsible for security of the Capitol building and grounds.

See O.C.G.A. 16-11-34.1 (g) ~ Abrams lost. She doesn’t have to accept it because her decision to fight on costs her nothing. She knows that this was her one shot and that the DPoG isn’t going to clear the field for her to run for election again, and that she is never going to get this fawning, uncritical coverage from the state and national media that had the effect of free advertising on her behalf, “coverage” that included repeating every charge, accusation and claim as Kemp and treating it as objective fact without challenging it in the slightest. Abrams invested the last 8 years convincing the DPoG that she could create a turnout machine capable of winning the governor’s race that would prevent candidates from having to run to the center-left and the only result was for her to prove her naysayers right. This was the perfect storm: a very unpopular GOP president, angry moderates and independents in the suburbs, the worst GOP statewide candidate since Mitch Skandalakis, a national media willing to make her candidacy a cause celebre and she still lost. So of course she has every incentive to fight, claw and scratch before she makes her inevitable exit – stage left – from public life. But that doesn’t mean that everyone else owes her anything, including being willing to drink her Kool-Aid wholesale and regurgitate it on demand. ~ Suburban Dictionary @Suburban_Dic Feels – Deep personal emotions for people who don’t have time for feelings. ~ @KentWGraham Kids today don’t know how easy they have it.
