James Carville: “To black people, voting is something sacred. It’s something inherent. We (white people) take voting for granted. We’ve never worried about voting rights in our lives.” #11thHour

"What Republicans are saying is they're going to make it torture for you to vote in line by having fewer machines, beat-up machines … And they’re going to make it impossible for you to vote by mail." https://t.co/rDqcqBhoVB

🚨Governor Kemp has now signed a voter suppression bill that restricts voting by mail and gives the legislature greater control over how elections are run. Remember this is NOT about voter fraud. It's about HISTORIC BLACK VOTER TURNOUT!https://t.co/Lvia9pJF5B

They arrested a State Representative for trying to watch a bill signing.

This is insane: Georgia Dem rep @Cannonfor58 was arrested for trying to watch Brian Kemp sign new voter suppression bill. Look at how she is treated by police. This is straight out of Jim Crow pic.twitter.com/zRpMWumbkQ

White domestic terrorists who stormed Capitol were treated better than Black state rep protesting voter suppression in Georgia

You are gloating today but we got some kinda campaign ready to remove you from office!
You just placed a nail in the coffin for your re-election. As always, racists consistently underestimate Black people. Watch how people power works!
You are both RACIST and wrong! https://t.co/G7jdVsls4G

In signing that bill, Brian Kemp just accelerated our campaign to remove him from office in 2022. We NEED a Governor that BELIEVES in VOTING RIGHTS!🔥 pic.twitter.com/Js1jEUHxg4

On #VoterSuppression, Warnock said:
“This is Democracy in reverse. Rather than the voters choosing their politicians, the politicians are trying to cherry-pick their voters… There was no wide spread fraud in this election, so they’re trying to fix something that isn’t broken.” https://twitter.com/JakeLobin/status/1375324107919781888?s=20

Senator Warnock is Rep. Cannon’s pastor.
After 5 hours of lockup, Rep. Cannon was released from Fulton County Jail.
Upon her release, Warnock spoke to the press & called into question WHY a Black female State Rep. was treated this way compared to many Jan 6th insurrectionists. https://twitter.com/JakeLobin/status/1375322347926921222?s=20

First test should be anyone making less that $400K, registered as a Republican, being denied the right to vote. Voting against their own self-interests shows they’re too dumb to be allowed to vote. Since we’re testing “intellectual acuity”. Let’s start there and work our way out. https://twitter.com/GabbieKDrice/status/1375370347223060481?s=20
