Voting rights, racism and Georgia's next governor
From the article:
ONE OF the most closely watched governor’s races in November is in Georgia, with a conservative white Republican, Brian Kemp, who has a history of trying to suppress voter turnout, running against a liberal Black Democrat, Stacey Abrams.
Kemp, the state’s current secretary of state, has made a name for himself during this campaign with his notoriously right-wing campaign videos — which feature him standing for the National Anthem, saying “Merry Christmas” in December and “God Bless You” when someone sneezes, and pointing a shotgun at his teenage son while he proclaims his devotion to the Second Amendment.
