In recent days, Georgia Republicans have quickly coalesced behind calling for a “signature audit” to address the fabricated ills of the November election.
A signature audit would be fruitless, and Republicans likely know it.
Do Republicans know anything any more? They emote. They act indignantly. They get the vapors about Socialism. They unload stock and check their account in the Caymans. Knowledge, not so much.
The whole game is asking for something because it implies that there was a problem that what you are asking for would address, and then not getting what you ask for (like you know you wouldn’t) so that the denial of what you asked for means that the problem not only existed but is being covered up and allowed to stand.
False, baseless, evidence-free attacks on the integrity of an election should be made a form of election fraud. Especially since this is nothing but a bunch of racists yelling n-bombs in a crowded polling booth.
Kemp, former SoS for GA seems to be a bit confused about the voting process in his own state.
Voter signatures have been checked, twice in some cases, but here we get to the meat of their arguement:
Once the election worker verifies the signatures, the envelope with the signature and ballot inside are separated. That is in keeping with the state constitution, which mandates that the state’s voters cast “secret ballots.”
Is a judge really going to breach the secrecy of the voting booth, (you know what I mean)?
And if they can’t have all mailed in votes checked, by them watching the checkers, then they’d settle for 10,000? Does the judge get to pick the 10,000 out the pile of mail in votes?
Hey Brad when Kemp had your job and enacted “exact match” how many votes did he toss? Did you have to follow the same regulations on “exact match” as he did? If so how many did you toss. And while we’re on the topic of “exact match” how many Georgians “cured” their official state signatures?
And for shits and giggles how many votes in the 2020 election were rejected? How many in 2018, 2016? How many accepted votes were cast in 2020, 2018, 2016?
Heard this years ago from a coworker of mine, ex-Navy. Said that, as a freshly commissioned (read: “wet behind the ears”) ensign on his first ship, his section chief very quickly made him understand that his main priority, when any work was being done, was to stay the heck out of the way of the chief and crew doing the actual work.
But, to satisfy the typical desire to do something, the chief had mounted a pushbutton in a convenient (read “out of the crew’s way”) place, and called it the ensign button. Any time the ensign felt the need to do something to help out, he was welcome to push the button.
The button wasn’t connected to anything, didn’t do anything. But he could push it as many times as he wanted to.
They all seem like little children – similar to Trump – who just stomp their feet and throw hissy-fits when things don’t go their way. Honestly, these republicans at least, belong nowhere near government. They lack the maturity and self control.
