'I will not be stepping down,' says Georgia State Election Board member Janelle King (www.wabe.org)

Last week:

The Georgia State Election Board recently approved a rule that could allow for local election boards to refuse certification of results.  

This all comes as the board is currently facing a lawsuit for allegedly meeting illegally.

This week, Georgia State Election Board member, “conservative personality”, conservative PAC founder, and “pit bull for victory” at the recent Trump rally, offered her thoughts on the issues: [essentially “lol. Suck it, losers”]

This is not the Georgia Election Board member trying a quid-pro-quo for a white house gig. This is a different Georgia Election Board member.

So, they’re in place to refuse to certify a Democratic win, it’s all nice and “legal”, and we’re just watching it happen. Yay republiQans.

Two important reminders for Janelle King:

  1. You are a woman
  2. You are not white

These things mean that the Republican Party will never fully accept you, no matter how hard you lick their boots. Janelle, are you sure these people deserve your loyalty?

People like this dumbass scream at the top of their lungs how loyal they were, how they supported the fascist group the whole time, and how this could happen to them as they are being moved into position at the edge of the mass grave.

Tale as old as time.

They'll never eat HER face.

If reason or logic dictated what they did, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Cool. Won't Joe still be President? Or Kamala? Maybe an executive action or two might settle things for people looking to fuck around.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe. Maybe not. Democrats as a whole have not done a whole lot of acting against Trump, despite the overwhelming illegality and deliberate seditionist nature of the acts. I'd like to think they'd drop the hammer on garbage like this but - they might just release a strongly-worded press statement and then get removed from power and hounded by MAGAchuds for the rest of their days. It's not unpossible.
