'Deliberate and coordinated effort': GA election board member on threats to election certification - Velshi - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

This past week, Georgia’s mostly-Republican election board approved a rule that threatens to upend how elections are certified in Georgia. “They are literally trying to force the courts to change certification into a discretionary task,” says Sarah Tindall Ghazal, the lone Democrat on the state’s election board.

The new rule empowers county election board members to conduct a "reasonable inquiry" into whether election results are complete and accurate before they officially certify them. - Aired on 08/10/2024.

Janice W Johnson - TR
Rick Jeffares - TR
Janelle King - TR
John Fervier - R
Sara Tindall Ghazal - D

TR (Trumper Republican )
R (Republican)
D (Democrat)

Purpose of TR attempts to change the rules at this point :
-- Create chaos TRs can capitalize on if Harris is ahead in the vote count.
-- Throw out votes from demographics that lean democratic.
-- Enable TR members to halt certification of a Harris victory.
