As voters in Georgia cast their ballots in two key runoff races that will determine control of the U.S. Senate, voting rights activists fear many eligible voters will be turned away at the polls. Georgia has been called “ground zero” for Republican voter suppression efforts in the U.S., and in September the ACLU of Georgia revealed 198,000 voters had been wrongly purged from the voting rolls. We air a report into voting in Georgia by investigative journalist Greg Palast, narrated by the actress Debra Messing, and speak with voting rights activist LaTosha Brown, co-founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund. “I think it’s quite interesting and coincidental … that many of them on that list are African American voters,” says Brown.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel there is certainly pause for concern as to how accurate the powers to be may be trying to recreate the post slavery voter suppression minus the killing. Surely, if the Constitution continues to get shredded to pieces the human rights acknowledged to Negro Americans may be as temporary ad the Voting Rights Act. The VRA has to be renewed, it is not set in stone. Or am I mistaken PO1 William "Chip" Nagel.

Interesting how fast they blew off the prospect of 1000 double votes.
