How do you not get arrested for this? We just report on this like its no big deal to intentionally sow mistrust in our electoral process? If you can't trust the process, then the rest of the system is easy to take down.
"Oh no this is different" - Conserfacists
“I guess they are trying to prepare for the 2024 elections? I don’t see how this stands – if the [board of elections] has no choice but to certify an election, then why require them to vote to certify the election?”
How can you be this stupid? The law says "Shall Certify" (at least for now...)Certification is simply signing off that you've done your job and added up the numbers for your county correctly. The law is not saying you can choose to not certify the election if you think something is wrong. It is saying to get your damn job done by November 12th or you are in violation of the law.
All these people want to do is tie things up long enough that the SCOTUS feels that they can step in and choose a winner, just like in 2000.

^^ THIS! ^^
Emails obtained by the Guardian reveal a behind-the-scenes network of county election officials throughout Georgia coordinating on policy and messaging to both call the results of November’s election into question before a single vote is cast, and push rules and procedures favored by the election denial movement.
The emails were obtained by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (Crew) as a result of a public records request sent to David Hancock, an election denier and member of the Gwinnett county board of elections. Crew shared the emails with the Guardian.
Crazy how our enormously expensive and exhaustively lauded domestic intelligence network missed this, but six volunteer watchdog reporters in trench coats picked it up.
Beginning to think the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigations aren't quite worth their multi-billion dollar budget lines.
All hands on deck. Vote so it won't matter.
No. They didn't do anything because they are ok with it.
Doesn't harm the moneyed interests, so the NSA and the FBI can't give a single shit about it.
Sounds like RICO charges are in order.
Harris and her campaign need to pick up on this and start blasting it across all platforms.
