Let's see what's going on in Georgia. The Republican Governor Kemp has stepped in and wants the MAGA election board members removed. Clearly the idea that election board members can refuse to certify an election simply because they don't like who won is absurd and has no place in our democracy. No state should put up with this type of MAGA nonsense. Georgia governor demands removal of MAGA election board members after alarming votes Donald Trump recently praised the right-wing coalition on the Georgia state election board https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...orgia-election-trump-brian-kemp-b2602111.html
The MAGA crowd in state after state is attempting to illegally take away people's voting rights by deliberately kicking voters off the rolls within 90 days of an election. They are deliberately targeting minorities and Democrats in their suppression efforts. For example, not a single one of the 225,000 voters they want to kick off the rolls in North Carolina is a registered Republican. Many times the MAGA crowd is pushing measures that violate federal law as they attempt to get Trump elected in 2024. N.C. Republicans seek a voter purge that would violate federal law https://www.rawstory.com/north-carolina-voter-purge/ Republicans want the courts to kick 225,000 voters off the North Carolina rolls by the end of next week. The North Carolina Republican Party and the Republican National Committee said in a lawsuit filed Monday in Wake County that the State Board of Elections failed to act when resident Carol Snow complained about violations of a federal law called the Help America Vote Act. Snow said the state had used registration forms that failed to require a driver’s license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number. Republicans and far-right groups are seeking voter purges in states around the country, including the swing states of Arizona and Pennsylvania. In an email, state Board of Elections spokesman Pat Gannon said the lawsuit asks the impossible. Federal law prohibits removing voters so close to the election, he said. “Despite being aware of their alleged claims months ago, the plaintiffs have waited until two weeks before the start of voting to seek a court-ordered program to remove thousands of existing registered voters. Federal law itself prevents such removal programs if they take place after the 90th day before a federal election, which was August 7. So, the lawsuit is asking for a rapid-fire voter removal program that violates federal law.” This is the second lawsuit Republicans have filed against the state Board of Elections in less than a week. Snow has made several claims about inaccurate voter rolls this year, telling the state board that registration lists are not adequately maintained. Snow belongs to a group called NC Audit Force. “Defendants’ failure to require necessary HAVA identification information before processing and accepting hundreds of thousands of voter registration forms allowed untold numbers of ineligible voters to register. Now, those ineligible voters could vote in the upcoming November 5, 2024 election and beyond,” the GOP lawsuit says. If the elections board can’t purge the voters, Republicans want the court to make voters who did not provide the required documents when they registered to cast provisional ballots. Those ballots would be counted only after the elections board received and verified the necessary information. Gannon wrote that the lawsuit dramatically overstates alleged problems with voter registrations. “The lawsuit also misunderstands the data and vastly overstates any alleged problems with voter registrations,” he said. “If a voter does not have a driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number populated in the voter registration database, that does not necessarily mean that they were allowed to register improperly.” Voters who did not provide driver’s license or Social Security information with their registration will still be asked for photo ID when they vote, Gannon said. Ann Webb, policy director at Common Cause NC, called the lawsuit “meritless and dangerous.” It is not designed to fix a real problem, Webb said in a statement, but to “spread disinformation that undermines public confidence in our elections while fomenting anti-immigrant hate. If the self-serving politicians behind this suit get their way, hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians could have their voter registration unfairly thrown out in direct violation of federal law.” In a statement issued Tuesday morning, state House Democratic Leader Robert Reives blasted the lawsuit as part of an ongoing GOP strategy to use “intimidation, chaos and even outright disenfranchisement” to limit voting rights. “The same folks who try to rig our legislative and congressional elections with gerrymandered maps now want to rig our statewide elections by purging hundreds of thousands of voters from the voting rolls just weeks before a presidential election,” Reives said.
