Georgia Election Board Paves the Way for Counties to Overturn Trump’s Loss by Removing Raffensperger

In the wake of the 2020 election, Donald Trump and his supporters mounted a campaign to undermine the election system and ensure that Trump could remain in power. This effort ultimately failed, but Trump and his allies learned valuable lessons about the weaknesses and strengths of the system. In Georgia, they have used these lessons to strip power from Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and ensure that future elections are favorable to Trump.
One tactic they have employed is to remove Raffensperger from the state election board and stack it with members who are loyal to Trump. These members have passed new rules and regulations that could create chaos in future elections and delay or prevent the certification of results. They are also attempting to give county election boards the power to refuse to certify election results, opening the door to potential election shenanigans.
The actions of the state election board have been condemned by local election officials and are undermining public faith in the elections that are the foundation of democracy. Despite this, Georgia Republican leaders have been hesitant to take control of the board away from Trump’s allies. This has created a dangerous situation where an unelected entity is overstepping its bounds and threatening the integrity of the election process. The outcome remains uncertain, but the implications of these actions are deeply concerning for the future of democracy in Georgia.
