Why We Vote Ep. 183: Kim Brooks & Georgia's "Dark Database"
Description
CannCon and Ashe in America bill this one as the second Bad Mood Hour, and fair warning, you may leave a little triggered. This time the focus shifts away from machines and mail-in ballots to the thing nobody talks about enough: voter registration itself. Their guest is Kim Brooks of theGANerds, back after a couple of years and armed with receipts. She lays out what she calls Georgia's DART database, a shadow set of registration IDs that surface on the public rolls for days or never at all, then quietly rack up votes. Kim walks through how she reverse-engineered it by hoarding Secretary of State files like jigsaw pieces, catching duplicates, phantom cancellations, and voters credited with ballots they never cast. Expect strong opinions on so-called roll cleaning, a certain Retard Award trophy, and why she thinks you simply cannot clean a voter roll. Data doesn't lie, only people do.
