they re creating and bringing forth this awful policy of voter suppression, making sure poor people, people of color, cannot go and vote. that s what we ve been seeing in the past couple years from brian kemp for a long, long time and voter suppression is racism. that s exactly what it is. and now you couple that with the fear mongering that s happening from donald trump, brown people can t come to this country, now, you know, trying to suppress people of color, it is a really brew of toxicity that s unbelievable to be seeing right now. it has to be about the ground game, about bringing out voters. we re seeing amazing numbers in this state. la tasha brown, you ve been working on the ground so you would know whether or not suppression is happening and who it is being directed at. your group is called black voters matter. talk about the experience of trying to get people the opportunity to exercise their right to vote here in this state. it s so rampant, what s happening, it s inter

was immediately ready to address it because you ve been doing this work since you were 19 years old. what people have to realize about this race is you not only have to win, but you have to win overwhelmingly because there is a rule that neither candidate and you re both polling neck and neck. if neither candidate gets 50%, there has object a runoff. worst case scenario, if there isn t, if neither one of you gets 50%, it s been great to turn out all the voters, the black vote was up over 40% in the may 22nd runoff, if you don t get to 50%, are you ready immediately to go into a turnout operation for a december 4th runoff? we are. we want to avoid that by having everyone vote. but we have spent this campaign building an infrastructure. people disparaged it at the beginning, they said they were spending too much money on infrastructure and not saving enough money for television. but the fundamental belief i have for this campaign and for our state is, it s an organizing opportunity.
it is a pig in a poke. they re going to sell you a bill of goods and people will be hurt if brian kemp becomes governor of georgia. we have a lot of people, i get it on my social media every day, who are afraid their votes won t count, who are afraid they might be on one of those purge lists. what should someone do if they show up to the polls and are told they re not on the voter registration list? first of all, we ve had two extraordinary victories in the last couple of days. the eleventh circuit rejected brian kemp s appeal to disallow absentee ballots. if you have an absentee ballot, turn it in, the eleventh circuit says he has to follow the law. the aclu won their lawsuit, you have to be allowed to cast your ballot. call 866-our-vote. there is a local number, if you go to georgiademocrat.org, you can get that number there. we need you to stay in line, do not get out of line, do not give up your right to vote. we will find you, we will help.
