Originally posted by Bill the Cat View Postthe New Georgia Project, an organization founded by Kemp's opponent, Stacey Abrams, herself in 2014. Their intentional and repeated sloppiness is apparently well-known with local registration officials. But when you swamp the officials with difficult-to-make-out information, and you slow their validation efforts, you get to make impactful public statements like this:
“Whether this was an intentional decision to discriminate against minorities, I can’t say that for certain, but there is circumstantial evidence: It became known that large numbers of minorities were not getting out to the polls because of exact match,” Houk said.
When the New Georgia Project ramped up its voter registration drive before the 2014 election, it swamped local election officials with roughly 85,000 applications.
“Applications we received from these canvassers were difficult to process, missing critical information, (and) contained duplicate registration submitted within days of each other,” Muscogee County Elections Director Nancy Boren said Sept. 20 in testimony to the State Election Board. “Often it was five or more applications dated one or two days apart.”
Kemp’s spokesperson emphasized that the 53,000 would-be voters whose registrations were pending could still show up at a polling station on election day and vote as normal:
If you are on the pending list, you literally vote exactly the same way that every other person in Georgia that’s not on the pending list votes. In Georgia, you present your Photo ID at the polling precinct. It’s scanned. If you are on the pending list, this action moves you from pending to active. If you are already active, it re-affirms you are active.

This appears to be another effort to mind-read others. It could just as easily be a "get-out-the-vote" effort to try to bolster the voters for one party or the other. Get-out-the-vote efforts are usually staffed by volunteers who may or may not be well trained, may or may not be coordinated to avoid duplication, etc. Assuming that the results were maliciously intended is not, as far as I can see, justified.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

Meanwhile...
The article ends with a 2 minute video of Minnie Barela, a blind 76-year-old Fort Worth woman, who said a woman recently indicted in connection with an organized voter fraud ring had knocked on her door in 2016 and offered to help her vote.
