He's saying if black folks come out like they are polling then he loses. Voter suppression is nowhere in this clip
Don't play dumb. You don't see the link between him expressing concern over black folks exercising their right to vote, and his continued efforts to suppress them?


"Brian Kemp, Georgia Secretary of State and the Republican nominee for Georgia governor, expressed at a ticketed campaign event that his Democratic opponent Stacey Abrams’ voter turnout operation “continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote,” according to audio obtained by Rolling Stone."


Kemp’s recent decision to suspend more than 53,000 voter applications, 70 percent of which were filed by black residents, for violating the state’s “exact match” verification standard has drawn attention to his penchant for restrictive voter laws and purging of voter rolls. American Public Media reported last week that Kemp purged an estimated 107,000 voters last year simply because they didn’t vote in the prior election. He is also being sued for leaving more than 6 million Georgia voting records open to hacking.

Kemp, a staunch Trump supporter who has echoed the president’s language concerning Russia’s election interference, was also the only Secretary of State in the nation to refuse Homeland Security’s help prior to the 2016 election.

One other reason that Kemp’s “right to vote” line is potentially alarming is that he is facing another lawsuit after reports that an abnormal number of absentee ballots — 595, more than a third of the state’s total and 300 of which reportedly belong to black and Asian American voters — have been rejected in the state’s most racially diverse county, Gwinnett. The Georgia Muslim Voter Project and Asian-American Advancing Justice-Atlanta filed suit last Monday to request that three days be provided after the election for rejected voters to resolve the matter so that their ballots count.

1) crazy that Georgia and Florida has a chance to elect black governors
2) y’all Georgians better vote
3) anyone who advocates that black people should vote is anti black and/or an agent
Hopefully they show out for them unlike NYC seemed to in September.

For 3) you mean shouldn’t?

Heard the audio earlier. shyt is not as blatant as the headline makes it seem. :smugdraper:
But he does express concern of huge turnout may affect him negatively. :obama:

Anyway i live in Atlanta and went and voted last friday just to get it in. Ive also donated money to Stacey Abrams campaign. That indian doctor chick i was dating is a monthly donor and gave thousandS of dollars to her campaign. Hope it works out for Stacey. I met her at an event at SoundTable and she seems dope.
