GEORGIA! GEORGIA!! GEORGIA!!!
In our Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Coalition Zoom #27 we go all-out to explore the realities of the upcoming special elections in Georgia that will choose two US Senators and a member of the state’s Public Service Commission.
These two Senate seats will decide who will control the Congressional Upper Chamber. Both are run-offs. And both bring with them extremely complex challenges for election protection activists.
We are joined by legendary civil rights activists REVEREND GERALD DURLEY and REVEREND LEO WOODBURY. We are also joined the Atlanta NAACP’s Political Director RAY MCCLENDON, as well as ALAN MINSKY, Political Director of Progressive Democrats of America.
We run the gamut in this gathering of Georgia’s voter registration, vote by mail, ballot counting and other issues. The January 6 process will be controlled by the election boards of Georgia’s 159 counties. About 19 of them contain some 77% of the African-American voters in Georgia, a population that accounts for about 30% of the state’s overall electorate.
Overall Georgia 2021 will become a generic test case for the ability of an informed citizenry to conduct a truly free, fair and accurate accounting of the will of a state’s population. We will continue with this in-depth exploration right up to the day it happens.
