Unthinkable Trump would try to alter midterms? | Dana Barrett & Chris Harden aim to be on that ballot

Georgia Recorder columnist ⁠Jay Bookman digs into troubling signals⁠ from Trump (now and 2021) with a dystopian nightmare: the President sending the "National Guard or ICE agents to Fulton County, DeKalb County and other blue-trending areas, claiming massive fraud, seizing voting machines and voiding the election." I mean he's only openly ask/telling reporters that ⁠"we shouldn't even have an election." ⁠ Meanwhile, with Brad Raffensperger (and Gabriel Sterling) aiming for […]

Opinion: Five years is long enough – Georgia’s Election Board must enforce the law

For more than five years, Georgia voters have been told to trust a voting system that does not comply with the most basic laws.  The highly flawed touchscreen system selected by Secretary Raffensperger, and defended for five years by the State Election Board, simply violates multiple federal and state laws, although Raffensperger improperly certified compliance in 2019.  This week, we at Coalition for Good Governance filed a formal complaint with the Georgia State Election Board asking it to do something it has avoided for half […]

Catching up with Georgia’s two newly elected PSC officials + Deadly ICE & Stacy makes it official

A deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis ignites a political firestorm, and Ron isn’t buying the official spin. As DHS Secretary Kristi ("Cosplay Barbie") Noem rushed to label the incident “domestic terrorism,” video evidence and expert voices raise serious questions about what really happened and whether facts were sacrificed for politics. Even worse, ⁠former⁠ (⁠and current⁠) DHS officials are stunned by her rush to speak on the situation. Later in the […]
