Good thing the republicans in office orchestrating all this are fine upstanding god fearing folks, who place a lot of value on truth and morals. You know, because that's important. Can't have people pulling blatantly wrong schemes to disenfranchise their neighbors.
I suggest a Woodstock of a voting experience. everyone show up and wait in line with bands and BBQ for all. Drown them out at the polls. As long as you are in line no consequences for missing work or jury duty. Put an end to this madness and get back to building roads and schools that teach.

Another racist robocall, this time directed at Stacey Abrams, running for Gov of Georgia.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/legal-decisions-racist-robocall-georgia-gov-race-201530015.html
It's again, sponsored by Road to Power from Scott Rhodes from Sandpointe Idaho.
He's the same person who directed a racist robocall about Andrew Gillum who is running for Gov of Georgia.

I find it bewildering that you can run for office in a state while retaining the job of deciding who gets to vote in that same election. Every state constitution should contain a clause disallowing this. It's unreal how much systemic corruption our system allows, at the federal, state and local levels. I don't think we've been that attuned to the problem until people really starting abusing the opportunities afforded by these bad rules. It's really time to change a lot of rules, starting with the US Constitution. At least one of the two major political parties can no longer be counted on to exercise any ethical restraint.

Kemp just accused the Georgia State Democrat Party of hacking the voter rolls. "Lock her up!!!"
Curious to see whether any evidence will be provided prior to Tuesday.

"While we cannot comment on the specifics of an ongoing investigation, I can confirm that the Democratic Party of Georgia is under investigation for possible cyber crimes," said Candice Broce, spokeswoman for the Secretary of State’s Office. "We can also confirm that no personal data was breached and our system remains secure."
Hilarious coming from the same office that ignored all warnings of Russians meddling with state election systems, refused assistance from DHS and decided not to fix one of the least secured voter registration systems.

"hacking" the voter rolls? So the guy is incompetent in his current job since the integrity of the voter rolls is his job?

Let's repost this from July:
https://www.politico.com/magazine/s...ictments-georgia-voting-infrastructure-219018
... around the same time the Russians were targeting other states, a security researcher in Georgia named Logan Lamb discovered a serious security vulnerability in an election server in his state. The vulnerability allowed him to download the state’s entire database of 6.7 million registered voters and would have allowed him or any other intruder to alter versions of the database distributed to counties prior to the election. Lamb also found PDFs with instructions and passwords for election workers to sign in to a central server on Election Day as well as software files for the state’s ExpressPoll pollbooks—the electronic devices used by poll workers to verify voters’ eligibility to vote before allowing them to cast a ballot.
The unpatched and misconfigured server had been vulnerable since 2014 and was managed by the Center for Election Systems, a small training and testing center that until recently occupied a former two-story house on the Kennesaw State University campus. Until last year, the Center was responsible for programming every voting machine across the state, raising concerns that if the Russians or other adversaries had been able to penetrate the center’s servers as Lamb had done, they might have been able to find a way to subvert software distributed by the center to voting machines across the state.
On or around Oct. 28, 2016, Anatoliy Sergeyevich Kovalev and Aleksandr Vladimirovich Osadchuk, both officers in the Russian military assigned to Unit 74455, allegedly conspired with others to hack into computers involved in U.S. election administration, according to the complaint. This included scoping out the websites of unidentified counties in Iowa, Florida and Georgia to identify vulnerabilities they could use to access back-end servers. The indictment doesn’t state directly, but implies, that the servers were part of infrastructure for county election offices.
...
The Center’s servers would have been the ideal target for Russian hackers, says Marilyn Marks, executive director of the Coalition for Good Governance, the group behind the lawsuit against the secretary of state.
“These sophisticated agents certainly [would have known] that Georgia’s entire election programming and management system, including private voter data, was on a single central computer managed by Secretary of State Kemp’s contract agent at Kennesaw State University,” she told Politico.
The unpatched and insecure server that Lamb breached weren’t the Center’s only problem. A report produced by the university’s IT department after the Lamb breach found numerous other security problems as well. These security problems are all the more alarming, Marks and others say, because Georgia uses a single model of touchscreen voting machine statewide that security researchers have shown to be vulnerable to hacking. The machines do not have a paper trail and therefore provide no means of conducting an audit of their election results—an ideal scenario for anyone who wants to subvert an election. Marks and her fellow plaintiffs in the lawsuit want the state to replace these machines with ones that use paper ballots.
As part of their discovery demands, they want to examine the Center’s servers to see if anyone other than Lamb had breached them prior to the 2016 presidential election or a special congressional runoff election...
This might be difficult to do, however. Shortly after the plaintiffs filed their lawsuit in July 2017, technicians at Kennesaw State University wiped the Center’s servers clean, destroying any evidence that might have been on them. Two backup servers also were wiped a month later—news the plaintiffs learned only months later after obtaining emails that disclosed the data destruction. Kemp’s office initially distanced itself from the destruction, accusing the technicians of “ineptitude” for wiping servers that were part of litigation...[straight from Hillary's playbook!]

Its worth noting just what a blatant abuse of his office this actually is by Kemp.
Even if Kemp actually believed the claim was true, what he should have done this close to the election was quietly notify the FBI and state law enforcement and say nothing publicly until after the election. (There are long established rules that you don't make announcements of this type this close to an election which can possible influence things unless you literally believe a candidate is a serial killer who is going to kill again on November 5th or 6th so you need to make an arrest before then.) Notably even by Kemp's own admission he merely suspects the Georgia Democratic Party of being the culprits, so he is effectively admitting he may have just publicly falsely accused them just 3 days from the election.
The absolutely most favorable interpretation you can conceivably give Kemp at this point is he a moron who after almost 8 years in office as Secretary of State still has not clue how to behave appropriately in his position. (Not exactly an endorsement for electing him Governor.)

Making this announcement a few days before the election? This is exactly why Kemp should have recused himself from the job until after the election results are verified. Even if true his position removes any credibility.

Basically, Kemp and his office is attempting to divert attention from the fact that the voter registration website he is in charge of continues to be very vulnerable to tampering.
Security experts looked at the website and said it is very vulnerable to tampering.

Anyone like Kemp who is actively working to remove ANY American's right to vote should face a firing squad... This is our most precious tenet of democracy...
Media sucks in this country. They are reporting this straight when they should say it's a corrupt abuse of power. It's pulling a Comey.
However, there could potentially be something to it. Malcolm Nance said this below about the Russians before.
Georgia Assessment: I’ve been warning for 10 months that Russia will make whatever happens look like it benefits the Democrats or carried out by the Democrats.

Where the fuck are these people right now:

Sounds like a perfect job for them instead of playing weekend paintball wars. They should be knocking Kemp's door down and dragging him away...

They're probably headed for Texas to turn back the icky brown caravan people...
And why is it that states are allowed to not take FBI assistance for things that affect the federal government? This shit has to change. From districting to actually controlling elections for federal government positions. There needs to be a federal body that sets up and maintains all aspects of any election that can have any effect beyond the state. States' rights stop when it affects the entire country. Regardless of the outcome of this election, there will always be the specter of outright election hacking. And will douche bags sho wipe servers yo hide evidence, the shenanigans will continue.
