GOP Georgia Governor Candidate Purged Voter Rolls

As Secretary of State, Kemp removed 591,000 voters
JULY 25, 2018
Greg Palast

Yesterday, the GOP’s Brian Kemp won the Georgia gubernatorial primary. It is not coincidental that this same Kemp, as Secretary of State, removed 591,548 names from the state’s voter rolls in 2017. We expect another big purge in the next few weeks.

The Palast Investigative Fund has given Kemp, currently Secretary of State, 40 days to provide every name of those removed — or Kemp will face a federal lawsuit. Our initial investigation indicates the list is overloaded with voters of color and young voters, i.e. Democrats.

Kemp will face Stacey Abrams in November for the governor’s seat. Abrams told me she fears this ethnic cleansing of voter rolls especially because it is partly directed by Kris Kobach of Kansas.

Check your Voter Registration frequently.

Sorry, I missed the discussion on reasons to discredit him. He is left of center, what else do I not know?

Are we getting the names and then going out and getting these people to register?

Are they prevented from doing this within a certain number of days of the elections?

Does anybody know?
