Voting in Georgia has remained a prickly subject after last year's midterm elections. The governor's race between Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams was steeped in allegations of voter suppression targeting minorities.
The midterm elections saw some states impose some of the most strictest voting laws. In Georgia more than half a million people -- 8 percent of registered voters, the majority African Americans -- were cut from the voter rolls. Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp adopted the "use it or lose it" policy where people who don't vote regularly are removed for the voter registry. Advocates fear that "use it or lose it" purges could be used as a voter suppression tactic -- along with voter ID requirements. The Counter Stories team looks at how voting laws impact diverse communities and people on probation. Hosts: Don Eubanks— associate professor at Metropolitan State University and cultural consultant Anthony Galloway— executive director of Arts Us Hlee Lee— owner of "the other media group" Luz Maria Frias— lawyer and consultant Marianne Combs— arts reporter for MPR News Tierre Caldwell— Employment Specialist with the Power of People Leadership Institute.

Last Tuesday, a group started by Stacey Abrams filed a 66-page lawsuit in federal court that listed all the ways in which the Democratic candidate for governor and her allies say Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who is now governor-elect, intentionally created “an obstacle course” for voters of color. For this episode, I spoke with Lauren Groh-Wargo, who was Abrams’ campaign manager during the election and is now the CEO of Fair Fight Georgia, the group that brought the lawsuit. Here's a link the lawsuit. You can watch Abrams' interview with Jake Tapper here. Outro music: "Don't Forget" by Jeff Tweedy Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thelonggame.

The race for governor in Georgia is intense. You could script a full Netlix mini-series around the two main characters and the history between them. But when Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the Republican candidate, denounced critics this week who say he's suppressing the black vote, he resurrected an old term that carries a lot of baggage from the deep South's dark segregationist and Jim Crow era.Outside agitators. That's what Kemp called his detractors.Here, I explore the history of that term, and of the events that brought this election to this point.

Republican gubernatorial candidate and Secretary of State Brian Kemp discusses the Talking Points Memo titled "Brian Kemp Is Blocking 53K Applicants From Registering To Vote, Most Of Them Black". Hear his side of the story.
Republicans are bracing for a total shellacking on Nov. 6, 2018. Polls show that they are truly the minority party, especially among women. The democrats are buoyed by the fact that there are 209 congressional districts that are leaning or heavily democratic. It only takes 218 congressional seats to have a majority. They need only 9 more seats to lean or go democratic to take such control. 63% of women identify as democrats. Only 33% identify as republicans. 50% of men identify as republicans while 45% identify as democrats. So, overall, the number of voters who identify as democrats is vastly larger than that of republicans. The Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court Senate hearings - overall - are a boon to the democrats. If nothing else, there will be an absolute deluge of women voters turning out to vote. Any perceptible bump the GOP hopes to reap as a result of their win in getting Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court will be more than dwarfed by what happens as a result of the huge turn out by Democratic women on election day - Nov. 6th. In Texas, the 2nd largest state behind California - Beto O'Rourke is battling head-to-head & even with GOP incumbent Ted Cruz to be the next U.S. senator from Texas. Cruz is on the ropes and O'Rourke is actually poised to pull off one of the biggest upssets in U.S. political history. Andrew Gillum, the African-American democratic mayor of Tallahassee, Florida is leading Republican Congressman Ron DeSantis in the gubernatorial race in Florida! African-American Democrat Stacey Abrams is battling the Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp in Georgia for the governorship. Along with an O'Rourke victory in Texas, these developments alone could completely tilt the 2020 presidential race as they are major southern states with large African-American & non-white voter populations.
On this episode of The Critical Hour, Dr. Wilmer Leon is joined by Dr. Ajamu Baraka, internationally recognized activist, author, and contributor to the Black Agenda Report. Today marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of AFRICOM, short for US Africa Command. Although US leaders say AFRICOM is “fighting terrorism” on the continent, my first guest Dr. Ajamu Baraka argues, "Geopolitical competition with China is the real reason behind AFRICOM's existence. AFRICOM is a dangerous structure that has only increased militarism." As a response, The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) has launched US Out of Africa!: Shut Down AFRICOM, a campaign designed to end the US invasion and occupation of Africa. We'll discuss their demands and what impact they hope to create. US Pacific Fleet Spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Tim Gorman says a Chinese destroyer approached the USS Decatur in an "unsafe and unprofessional maneuver" on Sunday near Gaven Reefs in the South China Sea. Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said on Tuesday, “The US has been repeatedly sending warships to the islands and the adjacent waters in the South China Sea, which has seriously threatened China's sovereignty and safety.” Wu also said, “The Chinese military will resolutely perform its defense duties and continue to take all necessary measures to safeguard our sovereignty and the regional peace and stability." It's interesting how the Chinese used the word sovereignty, as that was one of the key themes to US President Donald Trump's address to the UN Security Council last week. What does it all mean?According to a new lawsuit, legitimate and eligible voters, mostly minority, have been illegally canceled. Georgians will file a federal court action against Secretary of State Brian Kemp for using a faulty and racially biased process to remove legitimate voters from the rolls. The Georgians are represented by the law firm of Mirer Mazzocchi Julien. Investigative reporter Greg Palast, also a plaintiff in the suit, will charge that Kemp has stonewalled his requests for legally public information on the methods and reasons for the purge of over 700,000 Georgians purged from the voter rolls in 2017 — one in 10 voters in the state. As Kemp has sent NO NOTICES to the voters purged, the group will announce that they are making the ENTIRE Kemp 2017 purge list available to the public immediately, so wrongly purged voters can re-register by the October 9 deadline. The suit, filed under the National Voting Rights Act of 1993, will seek to get the entirety of the "Interstate Crosscheck" files, the method used to confirm voters had supposedly left the state, and thereby allow the restoration of the voting rights of thousands. According to a recent MintPress News article, "A recently uncovered US government document published by WikiLeaks has revealed that the U.S. directly advocated for undermining 'democratic' elements of the so-called Syrian 'revolution' of 2011 in order to ensure the dominance of authoritarian, sectarian Sunni groups within the Syrian opposition." In her piece, "Wikileaks: To Weaken Iran, US Undermined Democratic Elements of Syrian Opposition to Empower Radical Groups," writer Whitney Webb goes into detail about the document. She also states, "According to the document, which was buried in a previous WikiLeaks release and recently uncovered by journalist Dr. Nafeez Ahmed, US military intelligence was well aware that the Syrian opposition movement in 2011 did not pose 'a meaningful threat against the [Syrian] regime,' given that it was 'extremely fractured' and 'operating under enormous constraints.'"

Georgia is home to some brave citizens who dared to challenge, under state law, President Obama's constitutional eligibility to run for a second term. The three cases stipulated that Obama was not qualified as a "natural born" citizen because his father was not a US citizen. As reported here on American Thinker in a series of columns, the administrative judge found for the defendant, and last week, Georgia's Secretary of State Brian Kemp upheld the ruling -- that Obama's name should appear on Georgia's 2012 ballot.
