BAD BILL ALERT: Dolezal's "zombie" bill aims to create election chaos in GA

from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts

Marilyn Marks is no stranger to The Ron Show. Today, the executive director of the Coalition for Good Governance joined to raise the alarm volume on a bill that state Senator Greg Dolezal "zombified" from a Democratic House member's attempt to secure another judicial appointment for her home county. In HB960, Dolezal essentially stripped its intent and instead pumped a bunch of what the organization calls "numerous unworkable provisions," not the least of which includes onerous mandated hand recounts. Their release states "HB 960 will impose tens of millions of dollars in new, undisclosed, and unfunded costs on Georgia counties to pay for extreme needless requirements for manual vote counting. "Hear Marilyn explain how the bill already runs afoul of state law and thus shouldn't even come up for a vote, but listen as she and Ron opine as to why Lt. Governor Burt Jones isn't shielding the Senate from taking up the measure. Yes, Rick Jackson may unwittingly be playing a role, but Marks contends Democrats could stage a symbolic walkout to prevent the bill from passing.There's also enough potential chaos in the bill to put Senator Ossoff's re-election in the hands of his US Senate colleagues next January, but even then, there's the potential for more than a year of litigation. Maybe that's the sought-after result?A lot to chew on, but again - perhaps the solution rests in sticking with the state's current system, minus touchscreens and with hand marked paper ballots. Yep; that came up, too.
