The state of Georgia has quietly decided to make voting by mail murderously difficult for young Georgians and voters of color. Crucially, the state, following the example of Ohio, will simply not send mail-in ballot requests to so-called inactive votersapproximately half a million of themabout 2-to-1 Democrats.
And, talk about nasty: Georgia is also refusing the ACLU demand that the state send mail-out ballots with return postage paid. (100,000 voters in 2016 lost their votes because of postage due.)

The Palast Investigative Fund continues successfully litigating against Kempkeeping him safely sheltered in federal court.
And we are taking what we learned in Georgia on the road. We filmed in Wisconsin just before the lockdownand have put our entire 15-person team on an investigative report on the steal planned for that swing state.
If you thought the vote for Wisconsins Supreme Court two weeks ago blocked the planned purge of 232,000 citizenssorry to tell you
not so. Wisconsin voters are still on the verge of getting Kempd.

(12,712 posts)The entire GOP is a lumbering dinosaur. No, I am not insulting them. They are obsolete, at least for The People. They still munch leaves for the vested interests behind them. An old, snapping turtle leers at us grimly from their dark, infested lair.
That dinosaur is not going to let itself go the way of evolution under any means. It will resort to any means possible to not only remain, but to wrest the power away to do so. It is a fully corrupt and devious party.
We need to find some way to contend with that desperation and the cornered rat effect. That's how we could win and assure a future for this country. If democrats could ramp up a response and meet them on every front, we might do far more than just make a win for our party, we could benefit everyone and bring progress and integrity back into the process.
Keep an eye out though. They are playing down and dirty with marked cards and smoke and mirrors. Ugly is a good word for it. That may reveal some weaknesses like Mr. Turtle's blue bailout attack.
