Protect Georgia’s Black voters from Jim Crow voter suppression

Georgia Republicans are trying to manipulate the rules to keep Black voters from making Stacey Abrams the first Black woman elected Governor in this country.

Last week, a “handpicked” GOP operative with ties to GOP gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp pushed a proposal to eliminate three-quarters of the polling locations in majority Black Randolph County. As he has done for the last eight years as the Georgia Secretary of State, Kemp is using the law and his position overseeing elections as a weapon to keep Black folks from voting and controlling their own communities.

The Georgia GOP have designed this proposal to manipulate the political process and rig the rules in their favor because they know that if Black voters turn out as expected for the November election, Stacey Abrams has a real shot at winning. We cannot let this brazen attack on our freedom to vote to happen.

Closing polling places in Black areas is a transparently racist tactic in line with literacy tests, poll taxes, and intimidation and harassment by law enforcement agents during the Jim Crow era.

Send a message to the Randolph County Election Supervisor and demand the members of the Board of Elections vote down this discriminatory plan at the August 24th meeting.
