Former President Barack Obama spoke at a campaign rally Friday for gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams in Georgia, and insisted on the importance of exercising one’s right to vote ― particularly in the face of efforts to suppress it. Kemp has called such accusations a “farce” and insisted that people with “pending” registrations could still vote. Meanwhile in August, one majority-black Georgia county had to reject a plan to close nearly all of its polling places. “Georgia, be unafraid,” Obama said. “If they try to take away your right to vote, there’s only one way to take it back: Vote.”
