The real story of the FBI raid on Fulton County, Atlanta

[douglas9]

For god’s sake, let’s get to the REAL agenda behind today’s-FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office. IT’S NOT ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION. The warrant says the FBI wants the envelopes from the 2020 election to hunt for crimes. But that’s just the legal excuse for the storm trooping.

This is NOT, as the media seems to think, about Trump’s attempt to prove he won the 2020 race, as if he’s some political Captain Ahab was trying to chase the Moby Dick of 2020 revenge.

This is all about 2026 and 2028. Look at a map. Fulton County is the heart of “Blacklanta.” And Atlanta is the electoral heart of Georgia. And Georgia is the swingiest of swing states. If Republicans don’t cut down the Black vote in Atlanta, they lose the crucial seat now held by Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff. And in 2028, the GOP, if they don’t suppress the vote in Fulton, they lose the White House. Fulton was the fulcrum of Trump’s loss in 2020 and could spell doomsday for Republicans in 2028.

So, how exactly do you stop Fulton County Black folk (and the LGBTQ community and the hipsters who left rural Georgia because they hate their parents) from voting? The answer is in one word: DROP-BOX.

1. They went after the voter rolls.

2. Yes. They want to know whom to threaten before the vote and whose registrations to cancel.

Cancelling a few thousand registrations days before the election without telling people means that voters show up but cannot vote. They then have no time to re-register or even if they tried the Republicans in charge of elections would just not process the registrations before the election, as Kemp did the year he ran for governor. We know Republicans will cheat, but how do we stop it?

4. Nothing can stop the Blue Tsunami

Fulton county, while critical to Georgia races, will not stop Dems from regaining control of the house in 2026 or winning the White House in 2028.

These are increasingly desperate acts of an administration losing its grip on both authority and reality.

Sadly, Palast has become a bit of a loon and CT nut in recent years, and is more of a clickbait merchant than a reliable source of news and analysis.
