Vigilantes Inc.
PRESENTED BY: Meaningful Movies Port TownsendJoin Meaningful Movies Port Townsend and co-sponsors Indivisible Port Townsend for our screening of Vigilantes Inc. You can join us either in person or online! Details below.
In Vigilantes Inc., Greg Palast and his investigations team bust the most brazen, racist attack on voting rights yet.
Vigilantes Inc. centers on a terrible new threat this year to the right to vote: “Vigilante” challenges by self-appointed vote-fraud hunters, not government officials, who’ve are targeting well over one million to challenge and block the counting of their ballots. Most suspiciously, the vast majority of vigilante targets are young voters and voter of color.
Vigilantes Inc. features African-American career officer Maj. Gamaliel Turner whose vote was challenged and blocked by a GOP official who actually dresses up like vigilante Doc Holliday, including loaded six-guns. The Major was challenged because he’d been temporarily assigned by the military to a California base.
Here’s the statistic that should scare all defenders of democracy. Our early “ACLU” version of the film exposed the 88 vigilantes, challenging voters only in Georgia. Now, the Trump-sponsored group True the Vote has gone from 88 vigilantes to over 40,000 “volunteers” in 43 states!
