John -- The state of Georgia failed to run a competent election today. In the midst of a pandemic, thousands of Georgians still tried to vote in person. We still don’t know how many waited in line for hours and gave up without casting their ballot. It’s a shameful failure by our state, and the latest example of how Georgia continues to disenfranchise voters with our election laws and administration. And while the focus today may be on Governor Brian Kemp who oversaw his own election against Stacey Abrams in 2018 while serving as Secretary of State, or the failure of his replacement Brad Raffensberger to fix anything based on today’s long lines at the polls that are no doubt suppressing turnout, let’s not forget my opponent Karen Handel’s role in all of this… Handel was the “architect of modern day Voter Suppression” in Georgia when she served as Secretary of State from 2007-2010. Things got so bad in Georgia under Handel that the Obama Justice Department opened a wide scale investigation into what was going on. If you've saved your payment information with Actblue Express, your donation will go through immediately: During her time as Secretary of State, Handel aggressively purged voter rolls (un-registering thousands of eligible voters), blocked Democratic candidates from running, and pushed for strict voter ID laws which disproportionately affect young voters and people of color in Georgia to this day. When my team called her out in our earlier email today, Handel responded on Twitter by saying Georgia is the “model for voter integrity.”
We have to make sure Karen Handel doesn’t beat us in 2020, and that we hold all of the architects of voter suppression including Brad Raffensberger, Brian Kemp, and President Donald Trump accountable for their actions here. If you've saved your payment information with Actblue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
With your help, we’re going to increase turnout in Georgia again in November, so we can hold the House, take back the Senate, and win back the Presidency for Democrats. Let’s go. Let’s do this. Let’s end Karen Handel’s legacy of voter suppression and defeat her again. -- Lucy |
