Kemp’s voter suppression isn’t working

Kemp and his conservative cronies are using every trick in the book to try to hold on to their power in Georgia. They’ve purged voters from the rolls at alarming rates, thrown out absentee ballots, and turned around a bus of elderly black voters. A longtime architect of voter suppression, Kemp should not have been allowed to oversee his own election when it’s clear that he’s using power to try to sway the outcome of

Georgia’s “exact match” name laws target minority voters

Georgia’s “exact match” name laws disproportionately affect minorities, who are refused their right to vote because of a backwards conservative “solution” to a problem that doesn’t exist. With incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent, “voter fraud” is a debunked conservative myth. The “exact match” laws put registered voters on a “pending registration” list if the name on their registration doesn’t exactly match the name on their license, including hyphens, apostrophes and spaces.

Kemp to Georgia: Why limit yourself to only two horrible governors in a row?

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who put voters in the wrong district, perpetuated the disenfranchisement of minorities and probably lost track of your social security number, will be running for governor. We’ve been imagining what headlines will look like once Kemp officially announces: BREAKING: Official who released social security numbers of all Ga. voters plans to ask Ga. voters to vote for him Elected official who failed Georgia voters hoping to

Brian Kemp has done it again

America’s worst Secretary of State Brian Kemp has done it again. In the past year, Kemp has released 6.1 million social security numbers, allowed voters to vote in the wrong district, issued the wrong ballots in the primary election, and perpetuated the targeting and disenfranchisement minority voters. On the second-to-last-weekend before the voter registration deadline, Kemp’s lack of oversight has prevented an unknown number of potential voters to register. In a statement made yesterday, Kemp’s
