Alyssa Milano is at it again. She’s displaying her ignorance. This time she’s calling for a boycott of Georgia from Hollywood. Georgia is a popular state to produce all types of TV shows (The Walking Dead and Ozark) and films (42 and Hunger Games).

Here’s what she wrote on Twitter:

There are over 20 productions shooting in Georgia. Is the entertainment industry willing to 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?

Actor and political activist Bradley Whitford called Kemp a “corrupt, homophobic, unapologetic disenfranchiser of African-American voters. If he seizes power, Hollywood needs to use it’s [sic] leverage and pull out of Georgia. Studios need to put their money where their mouth is and stand up to hate.”

There are thousands of people who work in the film industry who live in Georgia. Milano, Whitford, and Ron Perlman would rather see the industry die because their candidate lost. There are a lot of minorities working in the industry.

There were numerous people who commented on her post. The following one is typical:

Yes, Hollywood. By all means punish the actors, shop owners, film crews and people of Georgia. Excellent idea when you don’t get your way. Let’s not have a vote, actors should coronate whatever royalty they choose to run the country.

There’s a movement among those who work in the film industry opposing the craziness of Milano and others. “These are the faces that would be affected if you #boycottgeorgia!” There’sw a coungtr movement called #WithGeorgia:

Let’s look at the facts and the charge of corruption.

Brian Kemp, the Governor-Elect of Georgia beat Democrat Stacey Abrams by 54,723 votes. Sure enough, some Democrats have said the election was stolen and others, including Abrams, claimed there was voter suppression of minority voters.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said if Stacey Abrams does not win the Georgia gubernatorial race then Republicans “stole” the race in a speech Wednesday to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. “If Stacey Abrams doesn’t win in Georgia, they stole it, it’s clear. It’s clear. I say that publicly,”…

I don’t see how there was voter suppression when there was a record turnout for a midterm election in Georgia. In addition, there were nearly 10 days of early voting in weeks prior to November 6. There were long lines on election day. That’s hardly evidence of voter suppression. It’s a testimony to democracy.

Brian Kemp wrote the following in an AJC editorial prior to the election:

Despite what the opposition pens, minority participation is up 23 percent, registration amongst 17.5- and 18-year-olds has more than doubled, and we set turnout records twice during the 2016 election cycle. Seven million Georgians are now on our voter rolls – that’s one million more than when I took office [as Secretary of State] in 2010.

You may recall that “during a rally with U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, Abrams declared that ‘undocumented’ residents of Georgia were part of the ‘Blue Wave’ that would carry her to victory.” The New Georgia Project, a left-wing voter registration organization funded by “dark money” demanded “permanent voting rights for ‘non-citizens’ in Georgia.” Is this what Abrams and her fellow-Democrats mean by “voter suppression”?

There was a shortage of voting machines. That’s because of a lawsuit that claimed the machines were hackable. As a result, the machines were not permitted to be used.

The machines are set aside because of an order by U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg last December that called for preservation of evidence in a lawsuit seeking to move Georgia from electronic voting machines to paper ballots.

Brian Kemp didn’t have anything to do with any of these voting issues.

Some have claimed that Kemp closed some polling places in minority districts. To save money, a number of polling places were consolidated. This was done at the county level. ” One precinct facing closure has just 75 registered voters.” It’s not the job of the Secretary of State to consolidate polling places.

What about the purging of voter rolls? Every state purges its voter rolls. Georgia’s been doing it for some time. People move. Inactive voters are also purged.

An … analysis found the voters were removed under the state’s “use it or lose it” law, which starts a process for removing people from voter rolls if they fail to vote, respond to a notice or make contact with election officials over a three-year period.

After that three-year span, those who don’t vote or make contact with authorities in two elections can be purged from the voter rolls under the Georgia law…. They need to remove people who are gone/dead/no longer involved…. Otherwise you end up with more registered voters than eligible citizens and dead people voting.

It’s the law in Georgia. It’s not Brian Kemp’s law, and it was in process before he became Secretary of State. “(T)he legislators and governor who were responsible for creating the ‘use it or lose it’ policy were Democrats.” (The Blaze)

Rich Lowry makes some good factual points:

When a controversy exploded over a proposal to close seven of nine precincts in tiny majority-black Randolph County, Kemp came out publicly and opposed the plan. (As it happens, Randolph voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, but Trump won five of the seven precincts slated for closure.)

Every indication is that Stacey Abrams lost fair-and-square in an election where everyone knew the rules beforehand, and they weren’t unreasonable. She’s nonetheless being hailed for not conceding, and her loss will always be taken as an indictment of Georgia rather than the verdict of voters.

Suppression of minority votes? Not hardly.
