Abrams lost to Kemp by ~90,000 votes. He purged over 300,000. HOUSE DEMS SHOULD INVESTIGATE!

Yeah, I see they're contesting, but we'll see how fruitful that is when the people they're opposing are the same ones running the system.

Haha I love this shit, y'all all say the same damn things.

WELL WHAT ARE YOUUUUUUUU DOING ABOUT IT!!!...

Uhhh... Using my voice?!! Screaming about the corruption nonstop that just took place right before our eyes?

The shit NBC didn't even report on. Media pretending this was a regular everyday race with no issues.

Fucking half ass liberals, wanna come at me because I'm pointing at the goddamn gorilla in the room...

Fuck are y'all gonna do about it besides kick rocks and mutter about voting next time?

DrROBschiz · Nov 7, 2018

yeah realistically what can be done to deal with this very clear conflict of interest

Definitely some fuckery going on in Georgia but where do we start for corrective action?

Wtf? That's not even remotely true. Atlanta and Georgia's population is still growing. People leaving the state is what kemp said when he purged the voter roles but those people never left.

I know that's the case, but it boggles my mind how every election for governor of Georgia always has almost 80% turnout in favor of Republicans. I know people lean right in Georgia and more people move into the state, so you would think it would be more of 60% or even 50% Republican/Democrat split.

EDIT: The most recent results show 50.4% for Kemp to 48.6% for Abrams. So what I described above is taking place to a small extent. But there's about 68,000 people that would have made the difference for Abrams.

According to CNN she lost by ~68k votes, damn she coulda won

That's roughly the amount of voter registrations Kemp held that made the rounds a few weeks ago. Kemp knew what he was doing and hopefully him and his slimeball racist bullshit will be brought to court. Or maybe it's about time we bring back the guillotine. Shit like this can't go on for much longer or heads will and deserve to roll.

The point being there are no options left. You went through the system and the system was tainted before the process even got to begin.

Bruh, I'm well aware they are challenging the results, what you honestly expect the result to be when the ones who compromised it are the ones who are trusted to fix their errors?

I'm not off base, the system failed. I need people to realize the system failed.

All you have left now is civil disobedience, outrage, and protest.

It's a basic point I'm making. GA was robbed of it's first black woman governor due to voting suppression.

Hell of an ironic situation, is it not?

Huh...

https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion...ion-georgia/tcycVrH5m0pJ9SQC7XwiWP/story.html

"Hundreds arrived Tuesday at their designated sites only to find their right to vote denied. Under Kemp, more than 1.4 million people have been purged from the state's voter rolls. This year, he suspended53,000 voter registration applications, 70 percent of them belonging to African-Americans. They were victims of the state's "exact match" policy, meaning their registration forms did not precisely match personal information in government databases.

After an expected uproar, Kemp's office claimed those people would be allowed to vote. That, of course, was a lie. Kemp had his thumb on the scale all along, and never had any intention of removing it."

My gutless comment is targeting liberal electorate, not the actual players at hand.

They are going to be quick to shrug this off and let it slide, I refuse to let that happen.

What needs to be done?

1. Storm the capital yesterday
2. Organized political protest
2b Petition for the House to investigate this corruption
3. Loud messaging through social media and regular media
4. Physically bar Kemp from entering his seat. Do not allow him to enter the governor's mansion
5. Did I say be loud? Get louder
6. Demand Republicans to offer an new candidate and rerun the election

This is movement time right now.

#CantSilenceOurVote or sum shit, catchy hashtag and all that bull

Kthulhu · Nov 7, 2018

Absolutely. Kemp should be exposed for the criminal he is.

nelsonroyale · Nov 7, 2018

Seems intentionally obstructive. He needs to be challenged in court at the very least. Better yet those purged should march on Kemps office. Some tens of thousands would be a good number.

The race has to been called yet, and several countys' mail in ballots haven't been counted in full yet. And it's just so happens that those counties are expected to lean D, and are expected to be a minimum of 77k ballots.

There's still a chance she wins, if they can delay Kemp's team from pushing a call of victory today.

It's bullshit, but I'm proud of the many people who got out to vote for Abrams in my state yesterday. It's a close one.

He was also overseeing election proceedings in his area...as one of the candidates that people were voting for.

Nah, she's not going to win. Kemp controls the elections, and conservative news outlets are painting her as a sore loser, which would cause her to lose in a runoff.

Best she can do is bring media attention to the state to bring light to the issue.

A runoff obviously favors Kemp, but a conservative media outlet painting her as a sore loser isn't really going to change GA conservatives minds about her at this point. The race is close enough that the folks who voted for her aren't seeing her as a sore loser at all. They're holding out hope that something can be done. Or, you know, at the very least count 100% of the ballots in the state before calling it.

I understand that but your attitude ain't helping its only making ppl feel like what's the point in voting, if I was on the fence about voting and you approached me with that attitude and tone I'd walk away and no give one fuck about voting, your solution is obviously right as to what should happen protest and other things

But the way you phrase it it reads like an attack on Abrams herself and other democrats so add more context and change up the tone. All I'm saying is that defeatist shit don't inspire anyone only actively hurts the moral of the group
Keep the message change the tone
