When Votes Don't Count

Documentary of the Week | Jan 31, 2020

The documentary "Suppressed: The Fight to Vote" looks at how GOP lawmakers made it harder for Democrats to vote in Brian Kemp's narrow victory over Democrat Stacy Abrams to become Georgia's governor. Filmmaker Robert Greenwald examines multiple tactics of purging registered voters from the rolls, holding back absentee ballots and reducing voter machines in Democratic districts that are a cautionary tale across the country for the 2020 election.
