The big thing here, is that Greg Palast's team is going to get its hand on a list that Kris K Kobach claims to be non existent.

As per Greg Palast website:
https://www.gregpalast.com

This opens up the remainder of Kemp’s infamous, racially-poisonous voter purge files. Specifically, Georgia will produce the hidden Crosscheck purge files given to Kemp by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach — files Kemp’s flunkies told us had been "lost."

This data, which we will be analyzing is, as one of Stacey Abrams attorney told me, "a gold mine" which can be critical in the law suit brought by her organization Fair Fight Georgia and in the fight to beat back New Jim Crow vote suppression.

We’ll announce the details in the New Year.

1. Hallelujah and Amen! nt

2. That is great news! Merry Christmas to all of us (but not Kemp!)

[erronis]

3. Let's exclude the rest of the repuglicons along with Kemp

It's pretty obvious they don't believe in the teachings of Christ.

4. I can't wait for the news!

I've been following Palast for at least a decade. He's the real deal!

5. Great news love it!!

Our time is surely coming!!!!!!!

6. What? Democrats Complaining About Massive Voter Suppression? Have The Poles Shifted?

Is there a ripple in the time space continuum?

Is it spring?

Has the Pope converted to Buddhism?

No way!

We have to win with only half our votes being cast or counted!

Kobach should face a PERSONAL lawsuit by each and every voter he purged.

Asshole.

18. Careful now

There are those here who will "alert" on you for implying Democrats are soft/weak.

10. Very good news!

K&R, thanks for posting, laserhaas!

Thanks also to Greg Palast for his excellent work on this and his exposure of other GOP voter suppression efforts.

11. Palast seems to be a good guy doing good, but...

...it's kind of funny how he, a baby boomer, affects a 1940s hardboiled dick / reporter image complete with trench coat, fedora and open collar loosened tie. A bit phony.

And speaking of phony, check out his black plastic land line phone:

14. He's the real deal, reACTIONary

I had the opportunity to contact him regarding republishing a column and he was quite honorable and gracious

[reACTIONary]

15. That's good to know nt

[DFW]

22. I ran into the guy at the 2008 Denver convention

He does like to put on an an act, and it does distract slightly from his message. That is unfortunate, because his message is a hell of a lot more important than the hat.

23. Not phony. It's stylish like film noir. Tough guy characterization.

[reACTIONary]

24. Yes, quite the character . ....

..... and as long as he lives up to it, that's jake by me.

12. Great news this Christmas day! (n/t)

[UpInArms]

13. Keep on rocking, Greg Palast

Glad you received such a nice Christmas gift

[pdsimdars]

16. Wait a minute . .. . they got the poison pill but he still gets to be Governor?

[cstanleytech]

17. Any chance of criminal charges being filed against Kemp?

[NJCher]

19. if not

there should be enough public outcry that he should be forced to resign.

[cstanleytech]

20. Repugnants have no ethics or moral compasses so he wont resign unless

it includes a guarantee of a pardon or immunity.

[Honeycombe8]

21. Things are looking up in that state. nt

[Dopers_Greed]

25. Thank you, Greg Palast

The Georgia governor's race was a travesty.

26. Justice.
