Kemp Praise Aides for Purging Voter Rolls
February 26, 2020 at 12:49 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 1 Comment


The House Oversight Committee released an email from then-Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R) which told aides “good work” after a newspaper story exposed problems in the way voters were removed from electoral rolls.

He added: “Good work, this story is so complex folks will not make it all the way through it.”

The 2017 story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution detailed how local election officials were inaccurately removing people from the rolls.

They utilize ignorance to their advantage.

However, Kemp has atrocious grammar:

"Good work; this story is so complex that folks will not make it all the way through."

GOP officials cheat 1,000s out of their vote = good work.

How has our country come to this?

since it benefits them when fewer people vote, especially people who lean Dem.


Ultimately, many haven gotten it wrong. And the errors may have violated federal law, since it has been common practice to immediately delete voters off the rolls if local boards approved the challenges.


prosecute these assholes

“It’s not appropriate for a city clerk to look at a water bill and begin the process for removing a voter,” said David Dove, the chief of staff and legal counsel in the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office.
