JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) -- Jefferson County officials have released a statement in response to an incident involving a group of African American senior citizens who were apparently taken off a bus headed to vote Monday.

The statement reads: Jefferson County operates a Senior Center that provides meals and entertainment to senior citizens in Jefferson County three days per week. The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners has a long standing practice of not allowing political activities during normal business hours or at County sponsored activities. These senior citizens are under the complete care and supervision of Jefferson County while they are at the Senior Center. Jefferson County Administration felt uncomfortable with allowing Senior Center patrons to leave the facility in a bus with an unknown third party. Additionally, the event in question that took place at the Jefferson County Senior Center was led by the President of the Jefferson County DEMOCRAT Party and as such was considered a political event. No seniors at the Jefferson County Senior Center were denied their right to vote. In fact, Senior Center staff routinely arrange Jefferson County Public Transit to transport senior citizens to vote. Jefferson County invites and encourages all registered voters to vote from October 15-November 2 from 8 AM to 5 PM, October 27 from 9 AM to 4 PM and on election day November 6 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The person who ordered them off the bus was concerned that seniors were being taken by an unknown third party somewhere. You see, the facility staff are supposed to protect seniors from predators like political hacks.

Desh will ignore this... just as she has completely failed to show how this is voter suppression. Now you show that the facility routinely takes its seniors to vote. Desh has also failed to show who exactly is the 'GOP' members that stopped this deranged lunatic Democratic party person from abducting the seniors.
