MAGA members of Georgia election board advance another step in Trump's election subversion scheme

Sara Tindall Ghazal, the lone Democrat on Georgia's state election board, joins to discuss.

#Georgia #Trump #2024election

[Rine.]

As a former Georgian (was a resident for almost 30 years), I am disgusted by the direction Georgia is headed. I really hope the voting majority are aware of what's happening and take action to shut down these MAGA efforts. Free and fair elections, not do whatever makes Daddy Trump happy.

This has been the Republican playbook for decades. Remember Louis DeJoy complaining about how slow the US Post Office was, then removing automatic sorters and ending overtime?

Where are all the men calling out the board?

[Chiefs_fan]

Someone needs to do something about this. Don’t let them disenfranchise you Georgia!!

[mountainman]

If the state’s Attorney General’s office calls the rule unlawful then that should be the end of it.

[erickizer]

Thank you for everyone who showed up and spoke their minds 💙💙💙

[jake-dwfw]

These republicans know exactly what they're doing with this stunt and yeah they'll use any discrepancy to cause even more chaos.

[jennifera]

The attorney General of Georgia needs to sue the board to require them to follow the law. Now is the time...not when people are illegally having their votes not counted.

[gb]

Normally its illegal to make changes to election RULES this close to an election. If it is they should sue

[johnnash]

Those Election Board members must understand that they may face long prison sentences if they are found attempting to subdue the election process.

[darrylcarter]

I called my Congressman two weeks ago. Now I'm going to call Senators Warnock and Ossoff. I'm calling Raffenspergers office as well.
Georgia Voters needs to speak out!

[marktaylor]

I would say, “Let the Supreme Court deny it” but I forgot, they too are in Trumps pocket! THEY ALL HAVE TO GO!

[focusedfreebird]

This should be illegal. Interference at its worst. These people should be arrested.

[lindaSmith]

It is amazing that nothing can be down to STOP this!!!! Where is the lawsuit!!! This is crazy!!!!

[vedagower-mywy]

Thank you Rachel for keeping us informed! I can tell you really care about our democracy! We MUST VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

The prerequisite for being on the election board should be to be at least a pollworker. The press conference today showed that the "election board" have no idea how the polls work. They had examples that either never happens or happens EXTREMELY RARELY.😡🤬

[EattheApple]

They are like children having a tantrum because they are not going to get their way.

[KingJamesHusband]

It seems the GOP would delay Mr Trump's loss in Georgia.

[edithlazenby]

Does this surprise anybody? I have been a poll worker. This is insane! VOTE BLUE!

[joeanderson]

I live in Georgia, and this crap is stressing me out.

[melsockman]

Our womens lives over the power hungry politicians!! Vote 💙
