The fix is on in Georgia.
Georgia's secretary of state, Republican Brian Kemp, is running for governor...which in itself is no problem, unless you factor in that he's also supervising the election!
He should have recused himself and let another pol take over the supervision of the election because of the obvious conflict of interest.
But that didn't happen. Instead, the bastard doubled down and purged 340,000 current Georgia residents from voting rolls, making them unable to participate in the November 6 election.
A recent analysis of records by the Palast Investigative Fund found that Kemp has overseen the removal of possible voters in the hotly contested race.
He didn't stop there however.
He's facing legal action over claims that he has hindered the voting registration of around 50,000 people, a group that is overwhelmingly black, Latino or Asian American, by implementing a new law just in time for the election.

His opponent, Democrat Stacey Abrams, is running to be the first black female governor in American history.
Kemp is also talking a page from his Trump's Dirty Politics Guide by creating a miasma of fear over voting in Georgia.
Without a shred of evidence, and taking another page from Trump's vile guide, Kemp claims Abrams wants illegal immigrants to vote.
He told the Republican propaganda outlet, Fox News, that, “I think hard-working Georgians should decide who their governor is, not people here illegally like my opponent wants.”
The claim is, of course, a lie. In Trump's Dirty Playbook of Politics, lying is highly recommended. That and defying reality with an alternate reality conjured up by Republican's who kiss Trump's ass daily.
With just weeks remaining, we're going to find out just how effective a campaign of lies and voter suppression is.
Time for me to walk on down the road....
