"In October 2020 — more than two years after she was cleared of the felony charges — she was standing in a voting booth helping a young woman with low literacy skills read a ballot [...] when the county’s election supervisor, Misty Martin, confronted her. Martin yelled at Coley-Pearson to not touch the machines and told her she was barred from returning to the polls. [...]
Martin [...] called the police to report that Coley-Pearson was disruptive, [...]. Later that morning [...] she was arrested in the parking lot and charged with criminal trespassing."

ProPublica@newsie.social - Misty Hampton, former Coffee County, GA, elections supervisor, was among those #indicted last night in the #Trump #election interference case.
Hampton (who also has used the last names of Martin and Hayes) played a role in blocking a local activist from helping people to vote, part of a long history of #voter suppression.
