Brian Kemp SUED for voter suppression (please read)

Friend, Daily Kos-endorsed candidate Stacey Abrams isn't just waiting to become governor of Georgia to improve access to the ballot box; she is already fighting to tear down the barriers blocking Georgians from exercising their right to vote in a [lawsuit]( that goes to trial this week. Abrams' organization, Fair Fight, has filed a lawsuit against Georgia election officials for grossly mismanaging the 2018 election. The lawsuit claims that the state deprived some citizens, in particular people of color and low-income Georgians, of their right to vote. One of the top election officials named in the lawsuit is the former Secretary of State, and now Governor, Brian Kemp. The lawsuit claims he used his position overseeing the election to promote [voter suppression](. Under Kemp's election leadership, over 500,000 Georgians were purged from the voter rolls for not voting in enough elections, tens of thousands had their voter registration rejected because of "exact match" rules (that most times were just simple typos), and there were numerous proposed polling place closures that would have disproportionately impacted communities of color. [Stacey Abrams is a true progressive leader that not only talks about change, but makes it happen. She has been a champion of voting rights for decades and we need to help her get to the governor's mansion.
