11 Alive<\/a> – Georgia – February 10, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATLANTA \u2014 A federal judge, this week, ruled against Gov. Brian Kemp in a lawsuit filed against him in 2018<\/a>, while he was still Secretary of State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The federal lawsuit was initiated by freelance journalist Greg Palast along with Helen Butler, executive director of Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the suit, Kemp, in his role as secretary of state, was accused of using a racially-biased methodology for removing as many as 700,000 legitimate voters from the state’s voter rolls during a period between 2016 and 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
