Stacey Abrams Hires Palast Investigations Team for Massive Federal Suit to Restore Voting Rights

[diva77]

Stacey Abrams’ non-profit Fair Fight has retained the Palast Investigations team experts to provide court testimony, based on our six years of investigation, in Fair Fight’s federal law suit to overturn Georgia’s massive, racially biased purge of voters.

Abrams often cites the illegal purge we uncovered. And now, she’s taking action. Her new group, Fair Fight, has hired the Palast team to update and expand our work to put before a court to overturn what we have dubbed, Georgia’s “Purge by Postcard.”

While the Palast Investigative Fund is thrilled with this new alliance, it only covers Georgia. We need to expose new, massive, illegal purges in Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Nevada and other states. We’ve already filed preliminary legal actions in 20 states. Now we move to the expensive process of detailed computer analysis of each purge, voter by voter, more than a quarter million in each of these states.

1. How's about Bloomberg and Steyer drop out of the race and support this financially.

Oh I can dream.

[eleny]

3. +1!

[erronis]

4. Given they are already lost causes. Come on boys - help us win and beat the forces of evil...

Unless one or both are not really in the election to support real democracy.

It hasn't been hard to look at some prior candidates as being spoilers, but with good intentions.

Now I'm wondering if some candidates aren't really running just to subvert the whole process.

I know even putin doesn't have enough dough for this action. Perhaps some US and other multinational oligarchs wouldn't mind seeing a collapse of US government and regulations.

24. We don't need a circus.

Our last presidential election had a veritable clown bus of idiot grifters on the republican side.
We don't want that three-ring mad house for our party.

7. IKR? Especially Bloomberg, who has zero chance of winning! Nt

[Tiggeroshii]

14. +10,000,000

[OhNo-Really]

15. +1 +1 [phone]

Exactly! MSNBC seems obsessed with Bloomberg. Who doesn’t need free advertising....oh wait.

Yes, a Bloomberg add aired during Katy Tur.

That’s it. Ads plus being a news item for $32 million

26. THat's what I've been thinking.

That would be the best use of their time money and name rec..

[uponit7771]

28. +1

33. I agree. I also wish they would financially support investigations of voting systems corporations,

manufacturers, programmers, purchases, certifications, complicit behavior of elections officials, legislation drafted to benefit voting systems corporations, and the equipment itself.

My wish list is longer, but I'll leave it at this for now.

40. What aGreat Idea

2. Palast is a really good guy

He's been a champion of voting rights for such a long time. One of many, for sure. But a national treasure in his own right.

8. Palast said he investigated power company racketeering for the Justice Department. So he

knows what he's doing and has a network. He lives for this stuff.

[triron]

9. We need Palast, Simpson and Fritsch to testify before congress.

[OhioVoterBlue]

10. Ohio coverage

The OH voter purge story was barely covered by major media outlets not owned by nexstar. Dewine cares more about vape flavors than voting rights and gun reform

[burrowowl]

11. Palest is really good

Been following him for years.
Go Stacy!

[GoCubsGo]

12. I can't think of a better group to do that investigation.

If anyone is going to uncover the dirt, it's Palast and his team. This is excellent news!

[triron]

13. Smart girl.

[OhNo-Really]

16. Greg's cool. I pray he has a good team

[triron]

18. I have read him. He does excellent work.

35. And The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

This is good news.

BTW, welcome to DU!

[karin_sj]

17. Great news!

It's about time that a prominent Democrat took up the cause of fighting for fair elections. All the work and $$$ that the Democrats spend to run for elections and get people to vote for them is for naught when the deck is stacked against them from the start by means of voter suppression, election fraud, gerrymandering, social media interference, etc., etc.

I'm really happy that Stacey Abrams is taking this so seriously and is hiring Greg Palast to work on the cause. He's been doing this for years and years and he will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to this effort. And yes, it sure would be nice of some of these billionaires would put their money into something so important instead of spending millions on presidential campaigns that are very unlikely to be successful.

19. Wished Hillary Clinton had done the same.

21. K n R ! Thanks for posting!

[mysteryowl]

23. Greg Palast is force! Thank you for your work!!!

[wnylib]

25. Palast is good. I remember him from the Bush Jr

years. He published an article on voter fraud and SCOTUS ruling in FL in the 2000 Bush v Gore election. Had to turn to the UK to get published in a Guardian subsidiary. US publications would not touch hrm..

Good investigator. Knows how to get through obstacles to find facts, connect dots, and hold feet to the fire.

Writing style is entertaining as well as factual. Sarcastic and biting in his ridicule of "the bad guys."

[California_Republic]

27. DU needs an investigation team

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. this is why Abrams is not running for Senate (or Pres)

Stacey Abrams is still fighting mad over the unfair fights in our elections.

30. This is Great News!

This is great news that the real governor is using the expertise of this country’s premier election irregularity expert!!!!! I am sure he will find some very interesting history!!! Well done, Governor Abrams!!!

[LittleGirl]

31. Palast is a good man.

He'll get to the bottom of this sh*t.

[tirebiter]

32. If our crew would disappear as discretely as the Republicans in 2016.

She might make an impact. With the “revolutionaries” as unwilling to cease and desist as they say they are, too many candidates leaves a crowd of losers when all is said and done. She’ll make a fine veep or can win next time she runs for governor

36. Great news

37. This needs to have more exposure!

[triron]

38. Agree.

[ProgressDiv]

39. "Pod Save America" raised over $1M for Fair Fight

Pod Save America podcast asked it's listeners to donation to Fair Fight. They set a goal to raise $1M and reached it. Fair Fight blocked the removal of 75,000 people from the voting rolls in Kentucky, which now has a Democratic Governor (by 5,000 votes).

Instead of counting on billionaries to fund this work, we should all be stepping up. (I have donated $150 to Fair Fight so far.) Until we take the machinery of elections as seriously as the campaigning we will continue to "lose" to crooked Republicans.
