Leaked audio reveals Georgia Republican Brian Kemp worried he’ll lose ‘if everybody exercises their right to vote’
Brian Kemp, the Georgia Republican candidate for governor, expressed alarm that his opponent Stacey Abrams’ voter turnout efforts “continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote,” according to an audio recording leaked to Rolling Stone.
Kemp made the comments at an event called “Georgia Professionals for Kemp.”
Early voters particularly concerned Kemp who fretted about “the literally tens of millions of dollars that they [the Abrams camp] are putting behind the get-out-the-vote effort to their base.”
Absentee ballots also worried Kemp. “They have just an unprecedented number of that,” he said, “which is something that continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote — which they absolutely can — and mail those ballots in, we gotta have heavy turnout to offset that.”

White woman with Taser threatens family: ‘You’re acting like Black people and you shouldn’t’
A white woman in California threatened a Black family during a dispute about their dog.
Video of the incident, which occurred in Discovery Bay, was shared on social media.
"I am TIRED of living this way," a Twitter user named Jariell explained. "I am TIRED of passive aggressiveness. I am TIRED of the fake smiles. I am TIRED that I don’t feel safe in a house that I’ve lived in for 10+ years cause of the color of my skin."
As the video begins, the woman can be seen confronting a Black man in front of his home. She alleges that the man's dog had assaulted her dog, but he denies it.

‘What the hell is Lindsey Graham doing?’ CNN analyst shocked by GOP senator’s election meddling
CNN political analyst David Chalian on Tuesday expressed shock and bewilderment that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was calling up secretaries of state and questioning their procedures for counting legally cast ballots in the 2020 presidential election.
Reacting to claims made by Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger about Graham calling him and pressuring him to throw out legally cast ballots, Chalian said it was improper for Graham to even get involved in the first place.
State officials speaking to ABC News say they're baffled and frustrated at the accusations of mass voter fraud coming from President Trump and his supporters.
"We're rather offended because we know how hard we worked to conduct free and fair elections and follow Florida law," Jennifer Edwards, the supervisor of elections in Collier County, Florida, told ABC News. According to Edwards, there were no reported incidents of voter fraud in her county.
Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon told ABC News the same thing, saying voter fraud allegations are "an insult to the tens of thousands of people who worked very hard to administer an election."
