Armed and Masked Vigilantes Intimidate Voters in Arizona

Vigilante voter strikes are not just happening in Georgia, where
Greg Palast centered his new documentary, Vigilante: Georgia's
Vote Suppression Hitman. But the vigilantes are using different
tactics in different states. In states with open carry laws, like
Arizona, they’re actually showing up at early voting stations and
dropbox sites with guns and masks to intimidate voters. Arizona
may have an open carry law, but it’s still part of the United
States of America, which means that the state is subject to the
Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, which was specifically says you cannot
use any threat of violence to intimidate voters.


 


In this edition of the Election Crimes Bulletin, investigative
journalist Greg Palast and FlashPoints News host Dennis J.
Bernstein discuss this new wave of vigilante voter
suppression. 


 


The duo also delve into Justice Clarence Thomas’ recent ruling,
which gives Lindsay Graham a temporary stay from having to
testify before the grand jury in Atlanta which is investigating
whether Trump and his allies tried to illegally influence and
undermine the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. Thomas
knows even this Supreme Court will likely to overturn his ruling,
but he’s given Graham a critical vacation from testifying until
after the midterms. This is good news for Brian Kemp, who’s
campaign might otherwise be in jeopardy if inconvenient truths
about his conversations Graham were to come out before the
November election.
