The latest voter suppression trick is called use it or lose it. If you don't vote in two elections, they send you a postcard. If you don't respond to a postcard, you're removed from the voter rolls. Now, it is illegal to remove someone from a voter roll for not voting. Because in America you have the right not only to vote, you have the right not to vote.\n\nSo how can they remove people for not voting? Because they're saying if you don't vote in a couple of elections, you don't respond to postcard, well, you've obviously moved. I tested this in Georgia. Georgia removed half a million people from the voter rolls before the election between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp. Abrams is the first black woman in American history to run for governor. She was running against Brian Kemp, who like Kris Kobach was also Secretary of State in charge of the voter rolls. So Kemp removed half a million people from the voter rolls \u2014 overwhelmingly voters of color \u2014 and runs for governor.\n\nHe refused to resign his post running the election while he was running for governor. I sued him, got the list of people he removed from the voter rolls on the grounds that they had left the state or they'd moved. I had experts from Silicon Valley, four expert firms, go through name by name \u2014 not a sample, but actually named by name \u2014 and we found 340,134 voters were wrongly removed from the voter rolls, who had never left their homes. They didn't move, they didn\u2019t even move down the street. And that elected Kemp as Governor of Georgia over Abrams. And the one thing that's refreshing is she\u2019s suing the state \u2014 the very first Democrat ever to sue a state, saying an election was stolen by racist means. \n\nLearn more at GregPalast.com
