The new vote-fixing game in Georgia

Once again, it's down to Georgia in the November 2022 midterm
elections. Senator Reverend Warnock is running for reelection, and
Stacey Abrams is running for governor against the incumbent Brian
Kemp. It's not a question of who's going to win. The GOP’s decided
it can't win, so it's figuring out how to not let the voters vote.
And here's a whole new game that, hopefully, doesn't spread from
Georgia. They are changing state law to allow the removal of
election board officials. So, for example, Spalding County in rural
Georgia had three black members plus a black election supervisor —
all three black members were removed as well as the supervisor.
They were replaced, and the GOP now has absolute control of that
board. And it's not benign. The first thing they did was to vote to
eliminate Sunday early voting, which is the traditional black
voting day in many states, Souls to the Polls day, you go after
church. A lot of it is because low-income people and older people
don't have cars, so they go in those church vans. In addition, in
Monroe County, they removed the two black Democrats from the board.
One is Helen Butler, and I hate to say it, but it's probably my
fault that she was removed from election board in Monroe County.
She was my co-plaintiff in the successful federal lawsuit against
Brian Kemp and his successor as Secretary of State, Brad
Raffensperger, where we required them to open up their files of
names of the Black, Hispanic, and Asian voters that they were
flushing off the voter rolls. We won that lawsuit, and the
retaliation is to remove Helen Butler from the Monroe County
elections board. And these boards are really important. First of
all, they determine whether voters are purged from the voter rolls.
We've talked constantly about voter trickery — Crosscheck,
ERIC, Use It or Lose It, all these games — all these various ways
of flushing people off the voter rolls. It's not minor. We're
talking about the removal of over half a million voters from the
voter rolls in Georgia. With these purges, the purge lists go down
to the counties, and the counties supposedly have to do their own
investigation before they simply write people off the voter rolls.
But I can tell you right now, Helen Butler says, if she isn't
there, no one will check anything, they’ll just take these GOP hit
lists and remove voters from the voter rolls.
