Greg Palast Says He Hasn't Seen Voter Suppression Like This In 18 Years

Greg Palast Says He Hasn't Seen Voter Suppression Like This In 18 Years

"As a journalist covering this, is it more aggressive this year, is it more frantic, the attempts to basically engineer an electorate with as few black and brown Asian-American and Native American people in it as possible?" she said.

"I have never seen anything like it in 18 years. You're referring back to when Bush won the presidency by 300 votes." Palast said.


"Yesterday, I sued Brian Kemp in a federal court. The reason is, I looked at the data, and on threat of a federal suit, he gave me his voter files. They cancelled 550,000 voter registrations in Georgia. That's Brian Kemp, he's running for governor. He cancels half a million people off the voter rolls. and the reason is, they left the state, a few died, 19,000. But I had computer experts, the best people in the nation, who check people's addresses. You know, the guys hunting you down to make your pay your bills or send you catalogs.

When breaking a rock, you may tap on it with a hammer a hundred, two hundred times and not see any real effect. Suddenly, one more tap and the rock breaks in pieces.

We have to get people to understand that THEIR vote may be THE ONE to push us over the top and defeat the cheats that have been put in place against all of US.

Without that one more voter, the rock holds. Be the one that shatters GOP's fascist hold on America, or be the one who helps that one more voter break the rock.
