The Jon Ossoff / David Purdue race looks to me like a straight up steal. For example, in Gwinnett County, which is a suburban county of Atlanta, a staggering 30% of mail-in votes have been rejected, and we know it's overwhelmingly Democratic. There's also a massive number of provisional ballots that weren’t counted. I understand that it's 10,000 — at least — in Atlanta and the surrounding area. And we know 40% of all provisional ballots nationwide are thrown out.

Donald Trump apparently won Michigan by 10,700 votes. But in Detroit, over 75,000 ballots were never counted. The barriers to voting are enormous, and yet even when people make it through those barriers, their vote, isn't always counted. Greg Palast tell us what we can do to help protect the vote.

They're hostile to counting the vote in the United States for voters of color and for young people, that's just the truth. We still have an apartheid vote counting system and they will do everything to get in your way... There were 7.9 million votes not counted or voters blocked in the 2016 election. That figure’s from the United States Election Assistance Commission, which keeps track not only of our votes, but the votes we throw away, the votes we don't count. Other nations would be flabbergasted to learn that we literally throw away millions of ballots, but they're not of any color. It’s 900% more likely that your vote will be disqualified if you're black than if you're white.
In this edition of the Election Crimes Bulletin, Palast and Bernstein got on the hunt for America's vanished voters, and encourage you to take action to protect your vote now!
