Georgia’s GOP-controlled State Election Board is poised to adopt a rule on Monday that would give county election board members an additional avenue to delay certification of election results, potentially allowing them to throw the state’s vote count into chaos this fall.
A former Fulton County election official who submitted an initial draft of the rule told ProPublica that she had done so at the behest of a regional leader of a right-wing organization involved in challenging the legitimacy of American election systems. That organization, the Election Integrity Network, is led by Cleta Mitchell, who helped orchestrate attempts to overturn the 2020 election and spoke on the call in which former President Donald Trump demanded that Georgia’s secretary of state “find” him 11,780 votes to undo Joe Biden’s victory.
The Election Integrity Network’s role in bringing forward the proposed rule has not been previously reported.
The State Election Board’s Monday meeting comes on the heels of a vote less than two weeks before that empowered county election board members to conduct “reasonable inquiry” into allegations of voting irregularities. That rule did not set deadlines for how long such inquiries might last or describe what they might entail, and critics worried that this omission could cause Georgia to miss the Dec. 11 deadline for sending its certified presidential election results to the federal government.
Why hasn’t the seditious cunt Cleta Mitchell been arrested yet for her role in trying to steal the 2020 election?
CNN - Nineteen states have passed 33 news laws this year that make it harder to vote, according to an updated analysis released Monday by the liberal Brennan Center for Justice.
That was in 2021, basically right after Jan 6.
This is from the brennancenter.org link that was updated since:
-
At least six states enacted seven restrictive laws.footnote1_bbYumq1bEWsm1 Most notably, Alabama and Idaho each passed significant new restrictions. Five of the seven new lawsfootnote2_khvOj1LivaXd2 in five states (Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, and Tennessee) will be in place for the 2024 general election.

Red State Peeps: Your Legislatures Have Fucked Us - We mentioned it at the time, but frankly everyone was pretty busy so we kind of waited UNTIL NOW to start yapping about it again. Please make the neccessary calls, stink, fuss, what-have-yous, to inform your red state representatives how this is totally not cool.
