*Stacey Abrams’ non-profit Fair Fight has retained the Palast Investigations team experts to provide court testimony, based on Palast’s six years of investigation, in Fair Fight’s federal law suit to overturn Georgia’s massive, racially biased purge of voters.
In 2018, the Palast investigations team uncovered 340,134 voters illegally removed from Georgia’s voter rolls by Secretary of State Brian Kemp while he was running for Governor against Stacey Abrams.
That was Kemp’s secretive “cleansing” operation that won him the election over Abrams, the first African American woman in American history to run for governor.
Abrams often cites the illegal purge that the Palast team uncovered. And now, she’s taking action. Her new group, Fair Fight, has hired the Palast team to update and expand their work to put before a court to overturn what has been dubbed, Georgia’s “Purge by Postcard.”
While the Palast Investigative Fund is thrilled with this new alliance, it only covers Georgia. New, massive, illegal purges in Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Nevada and other states need to be exposed. Preliminary legal actions have already been filed in 20 states. To be blunt: What is needed is funding to stop these purges.
Discovery and analysis of the purge list was the culmination of six-years of investigation which involved inventive undercover work, hiring a team of Silicon Valley’s top database specialists and filing a federal law suit against Kemp.
Because Abrams’ new group is strictly non-partisan and dedicated to voting rights, the Palast investigative Fund has released to her a huge collection of computer files and proprietary algorithms. Chief database specialist, John Lenser, will act as the expert witness in Abrams’ lawsuit to prevent new purges in Georgia.
Palast has been exposing Jim Crow vote trickery for 20 years — in award-winning reports for The Guardian, Rolling Stone and Salon. But this will be the first time an official, intent on justice, has taken the evidence into a courtroom. For the full report click here.
