Jim Crow alive and well in Georgia

[Va Lefty]

"Civil rights advocates are objecting to a proposal to close about 75 percent of polling locations in a predominantly black south Georgia county."

"The Randolph County elections board is scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss a proposal that would eliminate seven of nine polling locations in the county, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia. Included in the proposed closures is Cuthbert Middle School where nearly 97 percent of voters are black."

"There is strong evidence that this was done with intent to make it harder for African Americans," ACLU of Georgia attorney Sean Young said."

1. Almost like Brian Kemp is scared he might be able to lose his election...

2. Polling closures is probably the top form of voter suppression these days.

Democrats and the ACLU better raise hell.

3. Something like Alabama's drivers license closures a few years back.

It made it more difficult for the black community to get photo IDs.

4. Fascist want to win,...

Fascist must cheat.

Close down 75% of Black polling locations.

Load the 25% remaining polling sites with defective and unreliable voting machines and equipment to prevent the orderly and timely casting of ballots by communities of color.

The gangsters of politics need to be exposed and stopped. But now I’ve got to add they are now also complicit Russian traitors.
