A hoax text message warning of an imminent white supremacist attack on Black voters in Georgia has spread across the state. The incident began on November 1, a Facebook post flagged the text chain and brought it to the attention of the public and law enforcement which eventually got involved. The post read:
"Hey ladies, I just received this from a friend who works in the Gwinnett County Sheriff's office!!! Be on Alert... Last night, a deputy told a family that local White Supremacists/ KKK members originating out of Lexington, NC, are planning to attack from now until the Inauguration.They are plotting against Blacks, especially black women because in their eyes, we are easy targets! Please be vigilant!"
