Brian Kemp is reportedly holding onto 53,000 voter applications — mostly from black people
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s run for the governorship has been marred by allegations that he’s led a widespread campaign of voter suppression — and, as it turns out, that’s for good reason. On Wednesday, a report from the Associated Press found that Kemp’s office currently has some 53,000 applications to register to vote sitting on hold, submitted by voters statewide whose names have been unceremoniously purged from the rolls — and a majority of them are black.
All told, the report found that Kemp’s office has successfully canceled more than 1.4 million voter registrations since 2012, with nearly 670,000 of them canceled in 2017 alone.
How on earth is he able to do this ?
