Dozens of African-American seniors headed to the polls this week in Georgia were abruptly ordered off their bus — leading some to claim voter suppression, a report said.

The group of oldsters was set to pull out of the Louisville retirement center to vote early in the state’s hotly contested gubernatorial race when the home’s director told them they had to get off the bus, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Black Voters Matter, the group that organized the trip, received advance permission from the county-operated senior center, but a tipster called Jefferson County officials, who deemed it partisan enough to nix.

The county’s Democratic Party Chairwoman, Diane Evans, helped organize the event, the report said.

“Jefferson County administration felt uncomfortable with allowing senior center patrons to leave the facility in a bus with an unknown third party,” County Administrator Adam Brett said in a statement. “No seniors at the Jefferson County senior center were denied their right to vote.”

Black Voters Matter protested, saying the trip didn’t have any specific agenda beyond getting seniors to ballot for the first day of in-person early voting in the governor’s race between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp.

“It was really unnecessary. These are grown people,” the group’s co-founder, LaTosha Brown told the paper. “We knew it was an intimidation tactic.”

Added Evans, who was on the bus, “It was discouraging that they weren’t able to vote … When they’re suppressing votes, they’re going to come up with any kind of excuse about what your problem is.”

Brown was optimistic that the elderly constituents will still be able to make their voices heard.

“The seniors were so resolved. They said, ‘We’re going to vote. Nobody’s going to stop us,’” Brown told the Journal-Constitution. “It wasn’t the first time someone has denied them or tried to prevent them from voting.”
