“A federal judge has ordered Georgia Republicans to protect all provisional ballots and allow voters to check and see if their vote was counted.
“A federal court in Atlanta on Monday issued an order requiring the state to take a number of steps to protect voters who had to cast provisional ballots because of registration problems. Among those steps: Georgia officials must establish a hotline and website for voters to check if their ballots were counted; conduct a thorough review of provisional ballots; and provide detailed information about every provisional ballot cast in Tuesday’s election.
“This is a big win for the voters, Democrats, and Stacey Abrams
“Brian Kemp and the Republican Party have been trying to begin the transition and take power in Georgia by attempting to shut down the election. The Abrams campaign has taken legal action to make sure that every vote is counted and with the Democratic candidate roughly 20,000 votes short of triggering an automatic runoff, any ruling that helps to gets all the votes counted is a big win for Democrats.
…"Republicans went as far as to not provide power cords for voting machines in Democratic areas.The GOP tried everything imaginable to deny the right to vote in Georgia and they still might lose.”
➣ Definitely BIG news for today (11/13) in the Georgia governor’s race!
Count all the votes. End GOP voter suppression. Call out Brian Kemp for his coordinating crimes and election tampering.

After 38 Years in Prison, Frederick Clay to Vote for the First Time Ever
Frederick Clay, represented by the CPCS Innocence Program, was exonerated in 2017 after spending 38 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Clay, who is now 55 years old and living in Lowell, Massachusetts, has the chance to vote for the first time ever in his life. Below are highlights from our conversation with him:
I was deprived of the right to vote for most of my life. It’s strange to finally be able to vote. Now that I have the opportunity to vote, I feel like I’m doing my part in society. I guess you could say I feel special; a lot of black people fought and gave up their lives for the right to vote. In that sense, I feel special because maybe I’m voting for them.
Voting should be a basic human right. But I guess they say when you get convicted of a felony there are certain rights you should lose, and voting is one of them. Again, I’m not quite sure why that is. I guess politicians figure that if prisoners had the right to vote, certain people may be voted out of office. There are a lot of people locked up across the country. That’s a lot of votes.
They say one voice can make a difference, and maybe my voice will make a difference through voting. I feel happy about that. I’m going to vote for all the people who never had the chance to vote and gave their life for it. I’m ready to do my part.
BIG NEWS IN TEXAS!!!!! Over the 10-day early voting period 4 MILLION votes were cast! This is 84% of the total votes casted in the 2014 midterms!!! Oh, and Beto O’Rourke is now even with Ted Cruz in the polls so get out and VOTE BETO FOR U.S. SENATE ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!!
