(CNN)Georgia state Rep. Park Cannon was arrested and removed from the Georgia Capitol on Thursday after passage of the state's sweeping elections bill restricting voting access.
In a video posted to social media, a Georgia Capitol police officer speaks with the Democrat outside the door to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp's office.
After knocking on the office door during Kemp's signing of SB 202 -- an election overhaul bill -- Cannon is seen being led away by several officers with her hands cuffed behind her back.
In a statement Thursday night, Georgia State Patrol said that at 6:33 p.m., Cannon "was beating on the door to the Governor's Office," and, when told to stop, moved on to the Governor's Ceremonial Office door marked with a "Governor's Staff Only" sign and knocked on that door.
After being told twice to stop knocking on the door in light of the press conference occurring inside, and twice warned that she would be arrested if she did not stop, "Rep. Cannon refused to stop knocking on the door. Rep. Cannon was placed under arrest and escorted out of the Capitol," according to the statement. She was taken to Fulton County Jail and later released late Thursday night.(snip)
Cannon faces two felony charges -- felony obstruction and preventing or disrupting general assembly session, according to an arrest affidavit seen by CNN.

... sweeping elections bill restricting voting access...
MLB should stop inspecting tickets for admission and just go on the honor system.
Instigator - guilty - lock her up - call out the state guard to fight the insurrection immediately.
Yes. She’s an “insurrectionist”.
Insurrection! Sedition! TREASON! Off with her HEAD!!
/pelosi rant
“Voting restriction bill”, huh? Lies, lies, and more lies.
I’m glad the authorities were there to quell the violent attempted insurrection of our sacred democracy!
“ “Voting restriction bill”, huh? Lies, lies, and more lies”
Sort of like “tax cuts for the rich”. It has to be spun that way. They can do nothing but lie. They never suffer any consequences, and it moves their agenda forward.
Attempting to over throw the government? Treason
Act like a stupid animal, get treated like a stupid animal. If this trash is what some district in Georgia voted for, we’re in trouble.
A couple of cops doesn’t sound nearly as brutal as several or even a group of cops.
Knocking or beating ?
“was beating on the door to the Governor’s Office,”
10 to 1 t hey let the bitch off with NO charges.
She is after all a liberal dem.
I'm sorry to say this, but our side needs to start doing 3 am ballot dumps and similar shenanigans.
