Palast on Hartmann: Will There Be Mass Vigilante Vote Challenges on Election Day?
Greg Palast talks to Thom Hartmann about his new film, and how the challenges it exposes are spreading across the US.
While Georgia may be the only state with a law that allows a single person to challenge the rights of an unlimited number of voters, in other states Republican activists are getting around this by filing thousands of single challenges. This raises the possibility that we could see mass voter challenges on Election Day, or the day after when mail-in votes are being tabulated.
Palast cautions everyone to go to the polling station prepared with photo ID, utility bills, and something that shows your address. Bottom line: If you’re challenged, it’s important to challenge the challengers. You can learn all about this in Palast’s new film, Vigilante: Georgia’s Vote Suppression Hitman — which is FREE to stream for a limited time. But if you think these vigilante vote challenges are limited to Georgia, think again. As Americans we ALL need to be vigilant.

Vigilante: Georgia’s Voter Suppression Hitman — written by Greg Palast and narrated by Rosario Dawson — exposes the most brazen, racist attack on voting rights yet.
The film is produced by Academy Award-winner Maria Florio, with executive producers Martin Sheen, George DiCaprio and Stephen Nemeth, and was directed by David Ambrose, who previously worked with Palast on the film The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.
