I admire her too BD. I’ve heard her speak several times now and I’m very impressed with her message and her vision. I hope the majority of voters in GA show up and caste their votes for her.

This is a old trick for sure but at least we know about it this time and are trying to do something about it before it is too late. There is no way Kemp should be running the voter rolls if he is a candidate. Abrams is a smart lady so I do not think she is going to let them steam roll over her and miss her chance at history.

No. At least not “GOP voting tricks” alone. But APATHY combined w/GOP voting tricks? Yep. That’ll do it.

This story leaves me conflicted. As DJ points out in his post THIS (Repubs disenfranchise Blacks and other minority voters) is nothing new. It’s a dirty old evil game Repubs have been running in some form across this country, especially in RED STATES, going back decades to at least the Civil Rights Movement.

A lot of Americans (mostly Black w/a lot of Jewish support) marched, bled and died in the fight for Civil Rights and Voting Rights and Equal Right s for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion. Their sacrifices can never be counted or diminished. They risked their lives day after day after day for years. And yet how many Blacks and Minorities actually bother to vote in today’s America?

(Brace yourselves because here I go again) One Hundred MILLION American voters blew off the 2016 presidential election. And we ended up a hateful-azz Troglodyte in the White House.

When was the last time Blacks voted in real numbers in mid-term elections? Why did it take a adjunct professor at Gwinnett Technical College IN GEORGIA (a deep RED state) discovering she had been purged for Blacks to even be made aware? And what if she hadn’t discovered it?

The sad truth is, for many Blacks, and young adults, voting is NOT a priority. It’s just a hard-fought Right, they repeatedly take for granted…….until it’s gone.
