LaTosha Brown — the co-founder of Black Voters Matter — details how she's thinking about the election to come in Georgia, and the threat of voter suppression and disinformation.
LaTosha Brown says she is frightened the election results in Georgia won't be certified quickly due to new rule changes.
Just a few months ago, it looked like Donald Trump had secured the state of Georgia for the November election. Then Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala Harris jumped in.host Mary Louise Kelly sat down with LaTosha Brown — the co-founder of Black Voters Matter — to find out how she's thinking about the election, the threat of voter suppression and disinformation, and what Harris' candidacy means to her.Tell me what's scaring you right now as you look at the state of Georgia.
Are you frightened about efforts by activists trying to remove voters from the voting rules in Georgia? Like, there aren't as many drop boxes.Oh, absolutely. I think what we saw with the Senate Bill 202 — that passed right after the 2022 election, which was after the hotly contested U.S. Senate race that ultimately led to Senator Warnock — we saw this passage of this bill that we call the blueprint of voter suppression. You know, what that bill did is it restricted the number of drop boxes.
You also have this process that I'm deeply concerned about now, in the last month or so, there's been these two rules that have been changed around the certification of election results. And so now you can have an election official to say, “I think something is wrong” — they don't have to show any proof — so they can actually delay the certification process.
And so I believe that her presence at the top of the ticket alone actually sends a message. But I also believe that if she wins this election, as I have been unapologetic in my personal capacity of saying that that is my desire, I think every single sector of our society will be impacted as well.
