Wenn Sie Georgias Au\u00dfenminister Brian Kemp w\u00e4ren, w\u00fcrden Sie daf\u00fcr sorgen, dass sie nicht in die W\u00e4hlerlisten aufgenommen werden.<\/p><p>Kemp hat es vers\u00e4umt, \u00fcber 50.000 neue W\u00e4hler zu registrieren, obwohl sie ihre Registrierungen fristgerecht eingereicht hatten, wie aus mehreren Berichten und einer k\u00fcrzlich von der Anwaltskommission gegen ihn eingereichten Klage hervorgeht. Tats\u00e4chlich ist es im Peach State Politik wie immer.<\/p><p>Manche werden sich erinnern, dass im vergangenen Sommer <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/justice\/2014\/09\/11\/3566493\/georgia-secretary-of-state-laments-minority-voters\/\">Kemp sprach vor einer Gruppe von Republikanern<\/a>und erkl\u00e4rte: \u201eDie Demokraten arbeiten hart \u2026 daran, alle Minderheitsw\u00e4hler da drau\u00dfen und alle anderen, die au\u00dfen vor bleiben, zu registrieren. Wenn ihnen das gelingt, k\u00f6nnen sie die Wahlen im November gewinnen.\u201c<\/p><p>Als das New Georgia Project, eine \u00fcberparteiliche Organisation, im Zuge seiner W\u00e4hlerkampagnen 85.000 Registrierungen an sein B\u00fcro \u00fcbermittelte, wehrte sich Kemp dagegen. Aus Sorge \u00fcber die Folgen all dieser neuen W\u00e4hler in den W\u00e4hlerlisten leitete er eine Untersuchung gegen die Gruppe ein und unterband damit effektiv ihre Bem\u00fchungen um b\u00fcrgerschaftliches Engagement. Alles, um den Status quo aufrechtzuerhalten. Von den 85.000 Registrierungen, die das New Georgia Project eingereicht hatte, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2014\/10\/09\/1335494\/-Voter-suppression-Georgia-Secretary-of-State-is-caught-in-a-lie\">eins \u2013 eins \u2013 schien problematisch<\/a>.<\/p><p>The promise of new voters at the polls seems to be Kemp's real problem -- never mind his duty to run elections in a non-partisan manner. Sadly, he isn&rsquo;t the only one playing this game. Since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act's requirement that jurisdictions with a history of discrimination at the polls, including Georgia, submit proposed voting changes to the federal government before implementation &ndash; states across the country have been passing laws making it harder to cast a ballot.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Kemp ist nur einer von vielen Beamten, die alles tun, um Neuw\u00e4hler \u2013 vor allem Geringverdiener und Farbige \u2013 am Wahltag von den Wahlen fernzuhalten. Seit 2010 wurden etwa 30 neue Beschr\u00e4nkungen eingef\u00fchrt, die die Wahlbeteiligung beeinflussen k\u00f6nnten. Wisconsin, Texas und North Carolina \u2013 um nur einige zu nennen \u2013 haben Gesetze zur W\u00e4hleridentifizierung erlassen und\/oder Wahlreformen zur\u00fcckgenommen, die nachweislich die Wahlbeteiligung erh\u00f6hen, vor allem bei Gruppen, die in unserem politischen Prozess lange marginalisiert waren. Auch Georgia hat ein eigenes Gesetz zur Identifizierung mit Lichtbild verabschiedet, zus\u00e4tzlich zu <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/de\/democracy-wire\/another-one-caught-on-tape.html\/\">einige belastende Ma\u00dfnahmen zur Neugliederung der Wahlkreise<\/a>Wenn Gesetzes\u00e4nderungen manchen Politikern offenbar nicht weit genug gehen, fangen sie einfach an, die Regeln zu beugen. Wo endet das?<\/p><p>One way to stop it is suing on the grounds that these laws disproportionately harm voters of color. Just recently, Texas's photo ID law was struck down for having a discriminatory impact and intent. And the Supreme Court reversed a 7<sup>th<\/sup> Circuit opinion late last week, effectively ensuring that Wisconsin voters will not be required to bring photo ID to the polls on Election Day. But the Court also ruled that the North Carolina legislature&rsquo;s drastic cuts to early voting and elimination of same day registration will remain in effect for the midterms, at least. Piecemeal lawsuits won't catch every bad law, and they're expensive and time-consuming to boot.<\/p><p>That's why we need a better way. We need a more uniform system. Unless and until each state government stops attacking voters, the federal government must resume its role as gatekeeper. Show your support for an America that allows all eligible voters to cast his or her ballot without restriction, and <strong><\/strong><a
