The Georgia State Election Board is facing criticism for changing rules, specifically one that involves the certification of election results. There have also been calls for board members Janelle King, […]

Last week:

The Georgia State Election Board recently approved a rule that could allow for local election boards to refuse certification of results.

This all comes as the board is currently facing a lawsuit for allegedly meeting illegally.

This week, Georgia State Election Board member, “conservative personality”, conservative PAC founder, and “pit bull for victory” at the recent Trump rally, offered her thoughts on the issues: [essentially “lol. Suck it, losers”]

This is not the Georgia Election Board member trying a quid-pro-quo for a white house gig. This is a different Georgia Election Board member.

So, they’re in place to refuse to certify a Democratic win, it’s all nice and “legal”, and we’re just watching it happen. Yay republiQans.
