    And the governor praised the charges. That mother fucker needs to be removed from office. Republicans and conservatives need to be all removed from society.

      Would that be the same Georgia governor who, as Georgia Secretary of State, oversaw his own election as governor, whose win against Stacey Abrams was (and will ALWAYS be) suspicious as hell, and who is even now doing everything in his power to make it harder for the people of Georgia to vote, especially people of color? That governor?

      “Needs to be removed from office” is a great start. But if actual justice were applied under the law, that shithead would have a lot more to fear than a simple removal and retirement into mild disgrace.

          There were SO many irregularities and non-standard events in both elections it’s hard to remember them all now, but no single smoking gun.

          But his primary method has always been voter suppression, as Secretary of State it was his job to oversee elections, and by no coincidence, the votes he suppressed through questionable electoral practices (like removing all polling places in a densely populated district except one, making it illegal to drive others to polling places, etc) almost always take place in economically depressed areas and high concentrations of people of color: the people who would vote for Stacey Abrams in a landslide.

          To start, check out the Wikipedia page for Fair Fight Action and the related groups that Stacey Abrams formed to fight voter suppression in Georgia, as what they are fighting tends to be what amounts to Kemp’s standard operating procedure.

            Is still putting up a fight? Because I love for her to become Georgia governor. She shut down that cop city I am sure.
