Newsmax: Georgia’s Republican-controlled State Election Board plans to take a step Wednesday toward a possible eventual takeover of elections in the state’s most populous county that critics argue could open elections up to political interference.
Fulton County, a Democrat bastion that includes most of the city of Atlanta, has long been the target of Republican lawmakers’ ire. Their attacks only increased after former President Donald Trump and his allies made claims that fraud in the county contributed to his narrow loss in the state. An independent monitor found no evidence of fraud or impropriety.
GOP lawmakers last month asked the state board to appoint a performance review panel to investigate Fulton County’s handling of elections. The requests initiated a process outlined in the state’s sweeping new election law that could allow the Republican-controlled state board to replace the county’s board of registration and elections with an administrator it chooses.
The Republican lawmakers who asked for the review said they want to ensure that election officials in the county, which is home to about 11% of the state’s electorate, have been following state voting laws and regulations. Democrats and voting rights activists have said the new takeover provision could allow political interference in local elections. more
Crocodile tears. After years of political interference they cry about…political interference.
Nice in theory, but…
“ The review board is to be composed of “three competent persons,” including an employee of the elections division of the secretary of state’s office and two “local election officials.” “
Too much wiggle room for the corruption to continue.
The only diff between a “D” and a “Bush Republican” is the letter after the name!
It was leftist “Bush Republicans” that stole the election for jo 10 months ago. Naming Bush Republicans: Kemp and Raffy!
This sounds to me like FAKE NEWS!
Hey, look! Hope porn!
Never saw THAT before…/s
