Trump confirms GA's state election board is in his pocket

Sunday, August 04, 2024

On Saturday night at Donald Trump's in Atlanta, the former president did something that probably won't be mentioned much in the write-ups on what was a typical, rambling and lie-filled speech. But for those in the know about election integrity in Georgia and the broader issue of certification, Trump's comments about the Georgia State Election Board were a blaring tornado siren.

"I don't know if you've heard but the Georgia State Election Board is in a very positive way ... They're on fire, they're doing a great job," Trump said, before naming three Republican members of the SEB--Rick Jeffares, Dr. Janice Johnston and Janelle King.

"Three pitbulls fighting for honesty, transparency, and victory," Trump called them.

More background info:

Yesterday at Trump's Georgia rally, his lie-riddled & rambling speech had all the usual hits: false election conspiracies and attacks on VP Harris.

But one part of Trump's remarks stuck out.

And it may be a preview of his strategy in November.
Trump praised the Georgia State Election Board, a government body overseeing its election rules.

Trump thanked three of the Georgia State Election Board's members specifically for their efforts to change Georgia's certification rules.

This is odd. Trump doesn't usually concern himself with details this in-the-weeds.

It's not that odd. Trump has been working on this strategy to influence the certification process since 2022. His master plan this time is to coerce some election supervisors to actually refuse to certify a Harris win.

So part of your post needs to be repeated in bold. And I think you for bring it up. It's a very important point that's not getting much attention.

"Earth calling the Federal Election Commission. Pick up, over."

"Earth calling the Georgia Bureau of Investigations. Pick up, over."
