[See NewsBusters for more.] The first midterm election results had just started trickling in, Tuesday, and MSNBC was already jumping to the conclusion of “voter suppression” and “nefarious intent” in Georgia. Even though the polls weren’t even closed, reporter Trymaine Lee worried, “This race has been controversial from the very beginning. Concerns about voter suppression efforts, especially coming down from Brian Kemp, the Secretary of State, who is also running for governor.” He warned this was all linked to “the gutting of the Voting Rights Act.” Lee then brought on Derek Johnson, NAACP President. With no push back, Johnson called for “bring[ing] criminal charges against how [the Republican Kemp is] treating our democracy during this election cycle.”
