ATLANTA (AP) — After the 2020 election, a Georgia poll worker who was falsely accused of voting fraud by former President Donald Trump was pressured and threatened with imprisonment during a meeting arranged with the help of an ally of the Trump campaign, a prosecutor said in a court filing Friday.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is investigating whether Trump and others illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in Georgia. As part of the probe, Willis filed court documents on Friday seeking testimony from Willie Lewis Floyd, a director of Black Voices for Trump, a group aimed at increasing the former president’s support among Black voters.

In December 2021, Floyd was asked to arrange a meeting to discuss an “immunity deal” with Ruby Freeman, a Fulton County election worker whom Trump and his allies falsely accused of pulling fraudulent ballots from a suitcase, according to Willis.

Willis said Floyd arranged for Trevian Kutti — whom Willis described as a “purported publicist” based in Chicago — to meet with Freeman. The prosecutor has previously sought Kutti’s testimony.

1. this is old news, I believe Lewis worked with Kanye before

speaking of?

2. Not entirely old news.

3. The story is very poorly written.

It's really about Ruby Freeman. Her name is buried in the story in the third paragraph. It should have been in the first (lead) paragraph. Shame on the editor for this thing. (Say a former newspaper copy editor.)

4. Yet THEY'RE the ones who'll most likely end up in prison.

I do love the irony.

9. The Democratic Party needs to

take steps to protect honest poll workers. Spend some money, hire some lawyers, whatever it takes. Because the polling sites are getting filled with thugs with no compunctions about "correcting" the vote.

10. Another article

from Rolling Stone, which does some good political coverage.

I suspect the focus is on Kutti and FLoyd rather than Ms. Freeman because she's tired of trouble. This seems to be going around with election and poll workers a lot: a pandemic of threats and terror.
from RS:
"if Freeman did not confess to voter fraud allegations, she would be arrested after 48 hours"
"it will disrupt your freedom… and the freedom of one or more of your family members"
"On Jan 6., the same day insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, Trump supporters also surrounded Freeman’s house."

Who the HELL is sticking up for poll workers? A pat on the back from the Jan6 Committee is nothing. They need free legal advice and police protection, and not from white supremacist cops.

Voting is nothing if the counting is cocked.
