Georgia: ‘Stacey Abrams Shill’ Says What We Must Do
How to prevent Jim Crow from Stealing US Senate

by Greg Palast November 9, 2020

“It is unfortunate that the ACLU hired [Greg Palast] a known Stacey Abrams shill.”

So said the flak for the Republican Secretary of State of Georgia. And I’m sure that GOP Senator David Perdue thinks it “unfortunate” as well – now that their program to systematically purge Black voters in Georgia was busted, and Sen. Perdue must face a run-off against contender Jon Ossoff.

A “Stacey Abrams shill”? I’ve been called worse.

What raises the political hacks’ hackles is not the weird political conspiracy they’ve fantasized, but rather that the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia issued our report, “Georgia Voter Roll Purge Errors,” identifying 198,351 voters wrongly removed – overwhelmingly voters of color, low income and young voters. [If you haven’t watched our 14-minute film, The Purged and its one-minute version, do it now…and pass it on.]

What angers (and worries them) is that the ACLU, Black Voters Matter and yes, Stacey Abrams’ non-partisan organization Fair Fight, simply made our investigative findings public and returned thousands of victim voters to the rolls.

They are panicked. They lost the state for Trump, and now they could lose control of the US Senate in the upcoming January 5 run-offs between Sen. Perdue and Ossoff and between Rev. Raphael Warnock and Sen. Kelly Loeffler.

So what happened on Tuesday in Georgia? I know this: Black Voters Matter took our report and sent 98,000 postcards to wrongly purged voters to warn them to re-register. The ACLU issued our findings. (No, Mr. Secretary of State. The ACLU didn’t “hire” us. The implication is that our results were bought. No way: the ACLU independently reviewed our work and made it public.)

And we didn’t start in this Election Year. We worked on getting out the word on Georgia’s Jim Crow election games in press briefings sponsored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the NAACP. We partnered with Helen Butler of the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples Agenda and successfully sued Brian Kemp and his successor as Secretary of State.

And good old investigative reporting. I’ve only been digging into the Georgia vote cesspool for seven years—in other states I have put in decades—and the King family has been at it for generations.

We also had a huge response to our Purged videos (7 million views, 800 million impressions)—which directed voters of Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina to our re-registration website, SaveMyVote2020.org. Maybe that’s one reason that this time, the President was chosen by the voters, not the purge.

1. Hope Greg Palast can find republiCON wrong doings in other states also.

Maybe even flip some red senate seats?

2. The GA SOS did stand up to gop challenges saying he stood by the election results

Yes, he did announce he is overseeing a hand recount.. good. Biden’s lead is 14k+. Even little Scotty walker from WI said the two recounts he was involved in yielded less that 150 vote total difference

There’s nothing they can do!!

Doesn’t make the rest of what he said right, but does say he will not falsify votes or the election

4. It's great that people are speaking out to hold him accountable. Dems have to continue to fight

to protect the election & the voters -- and fight for an all mail vote for January.

3. Guessing that statement from the SOS flak was made in the past ...

But yeah ... the CHEATING has actually been on the GOP side, and always has.
