Early voting continues in the state of Georgia for two U.S. Senate races as a cloud hangs over the state's election process there. On Saturday, President Donald Trump allegedly committed voter and election crimes with an unprecedented and illegal request for Georgia election officials to change the state's certified vote count. This matter has drawn the attention of many, including organizations like the NAACP, the nation's oldest civil rights group, which is now calling for an investigation. "There is an overall picture that has developed. Obviously, [President Trump] has targeted Black electorates. Places that are majority Black populations," NAACP Board Chairman Leon Russell exclusively tells theGrio.
