The suppression of minority voters reaches the stars of the show.
He actor Tyler Perry, known for his character Madea, had to travel urgently to Georgia to vote since his absentee ballot did not arrive.
“My absentee ballot never came, so I just had to vote in person, so get out there and vote, get out and vote, get out and vote,” Perry said in a video from his car that he posted on Twitter.

Perry has properties in California and Wyoming, but maintains residence in Georgia. On Monday he reported that he never received his absentee ballot. Perry said he ordered it on Dec. 2.
Georgia is singled out as a suppression state for members of minorities, who usually support Democratic candidates. However, Joe Biden won that status in the November election thanks in part to voting by mail, which was massive due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Outgoing President Donald Trump has denounced a fraud without having evidence and went so far as to pressure the Secretary of State of Georgia to find 11,000 votes to change the outcome of the elections.
Elections in Georgia occupy the attention of the country as the majority of the federal Senate decides. Joe Biden’s presidency will be easier if the Democratic candidates snatch both seats from the Republicans.
