Democrat Stacey Abrams lost her bid to become our nation's first black female Governor. Her Republican opponent, Georgia secretary of state Brian Kemp, had purged hundreds of thousands of names from voter rolls. The majority were Democrats. Kemp also closed dozens of polling places in black neighborhoods to make it more difficult for black Democrats to vote.
Kemp's voter suppression tactics have led many Hollywood stars, including Ron Perlman, Bradley Whitford and Alyssa Milano, to urge the film industry to boycott Georgia. Because of the state's generous tax credits, more movies are being filmed in Georgia than in California -- but Milano says the entertainment industry should not "support the economy of a totally corrupt state that suppresses democracy; where the winner isn't the best choice for the people but the best schemer or crook."
