Three Republicans on Georgia's state election board voted to reinvestigate the 2020 election -- despite being cautioned by a colleague that their actions could be illegal. "I do want to caution this board that we are putting this board in legal jeopardy by approving that motion," said Georgia State Election Board Chairman John Fervier.

"Trump reposted a video of the portion of the board's Wednesday meeting when the three Republican members outvoted the one Democrat and the nonpartisan chairman to revive the inquiry.

"The Attorney General of Georgia MUST get moving on this. So must Governor Kemp, and the Secretary of State. ... WE MUST WIN GEORGIA IN 2024!!!" Trump commented above the video on Truth Social.

On Saturday, Trump shouted out each of the three Republican board members by name at a campaign rally, describing them "pit bulls fighting for honesty, transparency and victory."

The Republican trio on the board came under fire recently for quietly holding a meeting to pass new election rules without their other two colleagues."

.

Yeah so, passing new rules that allow Election Werker Aunt Millie and Jim Bob the Racoon Exterminator to officially "investigate the Election" themselves wasn't enough, they want to delay the Trial in GA by reopening an "investigation".

You know, I though Corporate Republicans were low lifes, but these people are True Partisan Political Cultists, the Law be damned.

"Illegality concern dismissed

The Republican majority pushed forward with the reinvestigation despite Georgia State Election Board Chairman John Fervier, who was appointed by Kemp, warning the move could be illegal.

Democratic board member Sara Ghazal also voted against the move.

"I do want to caution this board that we are putting this board in legal jeopardy by approving that motion," Fervier said. "I want to make sure that the attorney general is aware of that," he added.

Fervier said the board has adjudicated hundreds " if not thousands " of cases before, and the attempt to reopen this one sets a "horrible" precedent and "never-ending scenario."

At the link there 's the part about how the Lady GOPer who leads the Board, prolly an MTG fan, I'm just guessing, lmao... she says that people shouldn't be concerned about Breaking the Law, when people like her 'think', "it's the right thing to do!".

Here's what they did first...

"Georgia gave local officials significant new powers over the certification of elections results Tuesday, a move that could delay or derail future postelection certification processes.

In a 3-2 vote, the Republican-controlled State Election Board voted to define the certification of election results as "attest[ing], after reasonable inquiry, that the tabulation and canvassing of the election are complete and accurate and that the election results are a true and accurate accounting of all votes cast in that election."

The rule does not define "reasonable inquiry," which means that different counties will most likely interpret the rule differently. It's expected to allow county election boards to request information and potentially delay or block certification of results if they see fit.

And the resulting delays could block the timely reporting of election results to state and federal authorities.

Local certification of election results was once a routine ministerial process.

But after the 2020 vote, President Donald Trump and his allies sought to block the process, arguing that officials have discretion to delay or block certification and hoping to use state and county officials to overturn the results.

Since then, a handful of counties around the country have pursued or toyed with the idea of not certifying elections, though those efforts have all failed " typically after state courts intervened. "

The Gov and the Sec of State are warning these traitors that this is a really bad idea.

Not that the Cultists will listen.

Might as well.

The prior investigations turned out successful and the GQP has money to burn.

Election obstruction/interference is also a felony which = prison time.

Throw these clowns in prison.

Does anyone honestly think these asshats will certify if Harris wins even by a million votes?

Fortunately the POTUS will still be Dark Brandon with zero F's to give and a ton of cover for official acts thanks to SCOTUS. If this little game in GA stops the election from being legally called, and delays the peaceful transfer of power, I'd declare it an insurrection and lock these hillbilly cousin efers up. Then find some actual legit officials willing to legally perform their ministerial task. While I was at it, I'd probably lock up Dotard and the five insurrectionists on SCOTUS for good measure.

The Trump campaign also plans to flood the country elections with thousands of challenges, probably mostly mail-in ballot, which can bog down the certification for weeks as each challenge has to be investigated.

They tried that in Fulton County last time but since a majority of the challenges were from one or two sources, they were all dismissed as a scam. The Trump campaign plans to be more sophisticated this time.

This time, knowing their playbook, we're armed with hundreds of attorneys ready to put them in their place.

And an FEC and DOJ Trump doesn't control.

It was over the moment ratzenberger said it was over what is wrong with these weirdos?

@#12 ... what is wrong with these weirdos? ....

In my view...

The problem is loyalty to their cut leader and not to the Constitution.

(did they have to take an oath of office?)

So much fraud evidence

" So much fraud evidence"

When were you planning on submitting the first piece of evidence in court?

It's been almost four years; what are you waiting for?!?
