Have you been PURGED?Georgia voters – you MUST check this NOW


In response to my threat of a federal law suit, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp has coughed up the names and addresses of every one of the half million voters he cancelled off the registration rolls in 2017.


One in ten voters – disappeared WITHOUT NOTICE.


Look up your name or those you know, with the zip code.  We'll send back you entire registration address.  If that's you (or a former address of yours) re-register today – the October 9 deadline is almost here.


Kemp's purge list includes those wrongly tagged as having left Georgia by Kris Kobach of Kansas, using Kobach's racially poisonous, long discredited Interstate Crosscheck list.


Especially if your name is Jackson or Hernandes or Kim, check for your name now!


Note:  We will be adding another dozen states purge lists – they are falling like drunken rats as our lawsuit deadlines near.

Why are Greg Palast and Jesse Jackson Suing Kris Kobach?


Anyone following my and Greg Palast’s work will likely already know the answer. For the last four years we’ve been on the trail of Kobach and his voter purge lists – so after dozens of FOIA’s, thousands of miles of on the road and more airline miles than Trump has racked up going to Mar al Lago – we’ve finally decided that we need to sue the bastard. Even Jesse Jackson has joined us. Will You? Now that Kobach has grabbed

Greg Palast And Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. Challenge Kris Kobach And Interstate Crosscheck In Court


Greg Palast and Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. are on a mission to fight back against the elections that are, as usual, victim to the contrivances of the far-right branch of the GOP and in Congress, co-partisans that vote with them. The accuracy of Election 2018 results are bound to be close and bound to narrowly favor Trumps party. In other words, Palast and Rev. Jackson are battling against time to prove that voter fraud is actually election fraud of the worst variety.


Specifically, they are challenging Kansas SoS Kris Kobach's Interstate Crosscheck lists that will eliminate hundreds of thousands of likely-Democratic votes from being counted unless they are challenged--no, unless they are successfully challenged and exposed for what they are fraud.


Like many instances, the fate of this country is in the hands of the judge, if the lawsuit makes it to trial. The charge is violation of the National Voting Rights Act ("Motor Voter"), which would mandate the release of the lists and thus lead to the exposure and proof of the disenfranchisement of over a million voters, which could easily determine the results of Election 2018.


But Kobach
