To: House Atreides; Beave Meister
House Atreides:
"For sure the ruling elite globalists will try that.
They are ALREADY DOING THAT IN THE NATION OF GEORGIA because they didn’t like the (anti-EU) result of that election and Georgia’s new ELECTORAL COLLEGE system of choosing their president." Massive daily protests in Georgia
reaching hundreds of thousands since elections in late October 2024:
There is a long list of problems with the country of Georgia's recent elections, including:
- Government control -- provisions of new laws that allow greater government control over the Central Election Commission (CEC) and other election bodies.
- Registration limits -- new regulations make it more difficult for ethnic minorities and rural populations to register to vote.
- Media restricted -- limits on independent media reports about election-related issues.
- International observers -- reduced ability of international observers to monitor & confirm elections.
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) reported:
- Parliamentary elections in Georgia passed with "massive violations" that undermined public confidence and violated the country's international obligations.
- Violations of voting secrecy -- instances where the secrecy of the vote was compromised, affecting voter privacy
- Intimidation and pressure on voters -- reports of voters being intimidated or pressured.
Edison Research reported:

- Exit polls showed the ruling Georgian Dream party received only 41% of the vote, while the official results showed 54%.
Edison Research stated that the 13-point difference could not be explained by normal variation alone and suggested local-level manipulationHarrisX reported:
- Exit polling showed official results were "statistically impossible," with significant deviations from expected results, particularly in rural areas where Georgian Dream reportedly received up to 90% of the vote.
Polls in Georgia show:
- 79% of Georgians favor EU membership
- 85% of Georgians favor EU membership
To me these all sound very similar to the US 2020 election, where there were many complaints, but none that resulted in significant overturns of results.
Georgia on my mind...
