RonShow - WED - 082824 - What if we're (I'm) all wrong re: GA Elections Board actions?

from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts

It takes a big person to stop, collaborate and listen (sorry; had to) and thanks to frequent show guest Marilyn Marks, executive director at the ⁠Coalition for Good Governance,⁠ that's not all I've done when it comes to the Georgia Elections Board's antics of late; it's made me come to realize the "MAGA 3" are actually trying enact some policies and procedures to make election tabulating/canvassing more transparent and accurate. Now look; I'm not saying their motives aren't to aid Donald Trump's 2024 goals (likely so) or that they're not trying to placate his ego by re-litigating 2020 in Fulton County (they are), but what if all this leads to Georgia and it's 159 counties getting their Election Day/night processes cleaned up, aren't we all better for it? Marilyn provides a great example - Coffee County (yeah, that one) ⁠mishandled its May 2024 elections tabulating ⁠and - even with a MAGA majority, the Coalition for Good Governance got their elections board to see the errors in their system. Why are ⁠Democrats and progressive groups defending the state's awful system ⁠just six years after berating it in the aftermath of Stacy Abrams' defeat? Hard to explain, but I've a theory I shared with Marilyn. Why is Brad Raffensperger derelict in his duties as Secretary of State (and as a non-voting elections board member)? Marilyn spells that out, too.
