Georgia County Orders Elderly Black Voters Off Bus Taking Them To The Polls

[rightwinger]

“We knew it was an intimidation tactic,” Black Voters Matter co-founder LaTosha Brown said.

Dozens of black senior citizens in rural Georgia were ordered off a bus bound for the polls after county officials said the event constituted prohibited “political activity.”

A Jefferson County clerk reportedly told staff members from the Leisure Center in Louisville on Monday ― the first day of in-person early voting in Georgia ― that roughly 40 black people couldn’t take part in the trip after receiving a complaint from an unnamed caller.

The trip had been organized by the nonpartisan Black Voters Matter, which is embarking on a bus tour across several southern states with the goal of urging black people to vote. The caller said the bus, which was painted with the words “The South is Rising Tour,” should not be allowed to bring people to the polls, reported The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Georgia County Orders Elderly Black Voters Off Bus Taking Them To The Polls

Evil. Really evil to discourage dozens of black senior citizens from voting. Evil.

It looks like they have caught up to it though. Long lines in Georgia--1st day of early voting midterm and unprecedented participation from 2014.

In-person early voting began in Georgia on Monday and, by the numbers, it’s off to an incredible start. On the first day alone, 69,049 people voted—a massive increase compared to the 20,898 people who participated in the first day of in-person early voting during the last midterm election in 2014.

What does early voting look like in Georgia? Massive turnout, long lines, and voter suppression

A hotly contested race out there for Governor.

RCP has this race as a tossup with Kemp leading by a mere 2 points (well inside the margin of error.)

And they're talking about the long lines for early voting.
GEORGIA ELECTION 2018: Early voting begins with contentious governor's race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp

It all comes down to voter turnout. If Democrats & Independents would vote like Republicans do, they could win every race.

I don't know why this Brian Kemp didn't step aside as Secretary of State who is in charge of elections, prior to running for Governor--but it invites suspicion of corruption throughout. It's unbelievable that the State of Georgia would tolerate this.

ATLANTA - A political firestorm has erupted around the revelation that 53,000 Georgia voter registration applications are currently on hold with the state. Channel 2 Action News has reported on The Associated Press' investigation, which found that most of those registration applications belong to minority voters.Republican gubernatorial candidate and Secretary of State Brian Kemp has rejected his opponent’s claims of voter suppression, citing state law that’s led to the voters being on the “pending list,” meaning they can resolve the issue at the polls on Election Day.

Why do Republicans always force long lines?

They want to make voting as inconvenient as possible

Most people who are waiting to vote are in long lines.

Its always been inconvenient.

Carry on dumbass.

Not where I live, usually under ten people

These are your taxpayers, they have a right to vote
Cutting corners and forcing them to wait for an hour or more is an abuse of power

It is unlawful to use COUNTY FUNDED FACILITIES TO FACILITATE OBVIOUSLY PARTISAN POLITICAL PANDERING. (Actually, it doesn't even have to be all that obvious...just probable)

So simple a 5 year old could understand it. Why is it Progs here can't?

Can these Leftist fruitcakes even understand English?

There is nothing partisan about black people voting

What is partisan is suppressing the vote

That does not make sense. If the vote in question is not partisan, then neither action would be partisan.


IF it is partisan, then both actions would be partisan.


You are just a lying troll.

WTF are you babbling about Klan Boy?

Black people voting is not partisan.......blocking their vote is

Well good for you. Most other people have to wait to vote.

If I vote early I don't have to wait but if I wait for voting day there are long lines. I usually vote early.

It is what it is and your bitching about it won't change anything.

Happy trail dumbass.

As usual, you left out key information that qualifies your bombastic thread title. Folks, go read the Atlanta Journal-Constitution article to get the full story. The OP is misleading.

You're the one who is misleading.
You know you're lying. That's why you didn't post a link to the AJC.
But I did.
And the story is no different, you lying piece of shit.

Black senior citizens ordered off Georgia bus taking them to vote

Black Lives Matters bus. Yeah, that thing was filled with racists.

Evil. Really evil to discourage dozens of black senior citizens from voting. Evil.

A group that votes exclusively Democrat is not a non-patrician organization. If any of those black people voted Republican you know that wouldn't have been allowed on the bus to start with.

Really? Even if true - is that illegal? Does the GOP and RNC also vote Democrat?

Not illegal, but shameful how Democrats treat any minority that doesn't toe the party line.

Democrats are NOT trying to suppress any black people from voting -- even if those black people vote republican....

Can you name me one example of a democrat official trying to stop one black person from voting republican in the 2016 election?

 

[2aguy]

Fuck your race baiting, you race baiting piece of shit.



Blacks are certainly capable of deciding who they want to vote for.


But 90 plus percent decide to vote democratic, and that is why Black Votes Matter is not a non-partisan group.


It is just one more example of how not only are we not a serious country, but the media is a fucking joke, that they would print that shit, like it was not complete shit.


And that you would allow such utter shit to pass though the hole in the lower part of your face, says everything we need to know about you, and what kind of person you are.

Look Klan Boy......

You are the one claiming that black people wanting to vote is partisan and that blacks are incapable of deciding who to vote for Makes you not only a racist, but a racist asshole

Go burn a cross somewhere

You are the one making up shit. I asked a few questions, and for some reason you flipped the fuck out.


Why are you being such a fucking asshole?


Have you given up on EVERY being able to make a point, and are just trolling to try to get people banned?


Jesus, that is it isn't it.


You are actively supporting an agenda you know it wrong, for reasons to shitty for you to admit to.


What a piece of shit.

Look Klan Boy

You are fucking crazy if you think every person on that bus will vote the same way for every candidate and every ballot initiative.

If you were not so racist, you would not object to elderly black people receiving assistance to get to a polling place

Now, go burn that cross

Nice moving of the goal posts there, Troll Boy.


Shove your race baiting up your ass.

Klan boy

Wouldn’t you feel better if you and some of your boys dragged them off the bus and beat them for trying to vote?
You know.....like you used to do in the good ole days?

No... you don't know your history.... it was the democrats who dragged Blacks and beat them.... that was before the klan member, Lyndon Banes Johnson made them realize they would need Black votes if they ever wanted to keep power going into the future.....

As usual, you left out key information that qualifies your bombastic thread title. Folks, go read the Atlanta Journal-Constitution article to get the full story. The OP is misleading.

Their explanation makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The fact is that this was a attempt to make it harder for blacks to vote because they know who they are going to vote for. The people who participated did so of their own accord. We see how Republicans attempt to prevent minorities from being able to vote in places such as North Dakota.

 

[busybee01]

Rachel "Blinky" Maddow is insane. It is sad and insulting that the DIMS who organized the charade are treating elderly blacks like cattle.

Assisting people who want to vote in getting to the polls has been going on for a long time. The cattle are the Trump supporters who defend this garbage.

 

[MrShangles]

Rachel Maddow just finished a segment on this story. Republicans are evil. Voter suppression is evil.

Do you believe the Black Votes Matter is a nonpartisan group with nonpartisan goals?

I wonder how many Kemp voters they have as members, if their nonpartisan?

[busybee01]

Yes, obstructing Black people from voting is a Georgia tradition

Do you believe the Black Votes Matter is a nonpartisan group with nonpartisan goals?

Why would it be partisan?
You don’t think blacks vote independently?

Why are you too much of a pussy to answer a simple question?


Do you believe the Black Votes Matter is a nonpartisan group with nonpartisan goals?

Of course it is nonpartisan

If they kicked anyone off the bus who intended to vote Republican it would be partisan

You don’t think black people are capable of deciding who they want to vote for?
I never realized you were so racist

Fuck your race baiting, you race baiting piece of shit.

You are the racist piece of shit. You apparently would like to see a election in which only Trump supporters are allowed to vote.

There is no evidence that Black Votes Matter is a partisan group. They did not ask anyone to vote a certain way. That matters little anyway. If Republican groups want to bus their voters in then I have no problem with that.

Jefferson County Administrator Adam Brett said the trip, set to depart from a county-run senior center, was political and therefore violated guidelines imposed on county-sponsored events, the AJC reported.

Although Black Voters Matter is a nonpartisan organization, Jefferson County Democratic Party Chairwoman Diane Evans helped organize the event.

Officials “felt uncomfortable with allowing senior center patrons to leave the facility in a bus with an unknown third party,” Brett told the AJC. “No seniors at the Jefferson County senior center were denied their right to vote.”

That is so much horseshit. You are the ones who want to make it difficult as possible for non-Republicans to vote. The fact is that the senior center did not pay for the bus nor did they try to tell people how to vote. They went of their own volition.

You are either dumb or complicit in it. I wonder which it is. I suspect the latter.

Yeah, many whites do the same thing. What the hell is your point? Why should blacks only be at the mercy of crooked NaziCon poll workers in a state like Georgia? Blacks should surround themselves with people they can trust.
