Trump ‘lawfare’ coming for Fulton election works & volunteers now

The Ron Show, airing weekdays 8am and 4pm on Georgia NOW.

PLUS: Reparations for white voters? Republicans want to draw inner city voters towards their suburban ‘white saviors’ & Geoff Duncan’s new TV ad is out

The Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) has roughly 700 boxes of Fulton County’s 2020 general election ballots and now they ⁠want names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all the Fulton County election workers and volunteers from the 2020⁠ cycle, too. Uhm, why?

As Rudy Giuliani clings to life, it was just 14 months ago⁠ he was done paying two Fulton elections workers⁠ upwards of $100 million (or more) and now the DOJ wants to serve up other employees for potential MAGA “retribution?

As if that’s not enough, MAGA podcasting nutjob Benny Johnson and The Article III Project founder/president Mike Davis are salivating at the prospect of ⁠getting white voters in Democratic-led states reparations (yes, reparations) for their being oh-so “wronged” by racially-based gerrymandering⁠. The stones on these two white nationalist gasbags.

Remember all that GOP talk about black voters being on the “Democratic plantation?” Yet now they want to redraw maps to have their “white savior” representatives – who’ve shown no interest in doing right by inner city Americans when not representing city dwellers – represent everyone in these newly drawn districts except us.

It’s encouraging then, that Georgia Democrats are taking some fight back to the right. Out gay Fulton County prosecutor Will Wooten is featured in a ⁠30-second ad⁠ touting his record having helped build the election interference case against Trump as he seeks to challenge Georgia Court of Appeals Judge E. Trenton Brown III.

Okay, I have no opinion on cellphone bans in schools, honestly. I believe teachers when they say it makes their jobs easier, so on that front, I’m for the bans; but results show the real sales pitch – improved test scores – ⁠doesn’t show itself in studies⁠, just yet.

Lastly, Geoff Duncan has (finally) interested the TV ad game with a mostly cable and online ad buy, utilizing minority endorsees. ⁠The 30-second spot is good⁠. It’s effective. But it actually raised questions with me, still. Also, former gubernatorial candidate, Rep. Ruwa Romman, hasn’t endorsed in that race since leaving it, but she did share her “sample ballot,” with the #anybodybutGeoff hashtag and Mike Thurmond below it.

On her personal Facebook, however, she did say of Duncan ” I believe he’s sincere. I don’t think he’s just making up that he changed his mind. But he’s objectively the weakest candidate. We lose too many of our own for the mythical swing voter.”
