Georgia elections chief: 'Emotional abuse' to mislead voters about fraud
The Hill ^ | 11/18/2020 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 11/18/2020 2:18:40 PM PST by DFG

The top election official in Georgia on Wednesday raged at what he described as politicians giving false hope and ginning up anger over unsubstantiated allegations of systemic voter fraud, calling it “emotional abuse” to mislead voters into thinking that the election was stolen from President Trump.

In an exclusive interview with The Hill, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a self-described “conservative Republican,” declined to directly blame Trump for spreading baseless claims about voting machines altering ballots or “illegal” votes being counted.

But Raffensperger unloaded on Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) and other GOP politicians he said were creating a dangerous environment — including threats of violence aimed at him and his wife – because he’s disputed the notion that systemic fraud was behind President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia.

They’re really cranking up the propaganda war. Will the Demonrats win? They’re sure racking up the battle victories lately. We need action not words.

How do you categorize scamming the voters but not counting their votes and adding votes for one candidate that don’t exist?

Every single illegal ballot disenfranchises a legal one.

So how is it that refusing to certify a clearly fraudulent election is considered racist???

Seems to me it was the democrat officials intimidating the republican ones who were engaged in racism... by allowing the illegal votes!

Republicans find it emotionally abusive to NOT HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED and to have the value of their votes DILUTED BY FRAUDULENT VOTES.

Raffensberger seemed to be trying to throw the recount to Biden, meaning who actually won in Georgia remains undecided.

I don’t condone threats of violence against his family, but did he really think Trump supporters were going to roll over and take this?

Excellent Zero Hedge article about _blatant_ Georgia vote fraud—hundreds of ballots—in just one location—all ballots marked for Biden:

The Georgia SOS is a traitor.

That actually happened in Michigan. It was a 2-2 split until raving leftist lunatics brought unbearable pressure on them (You’re racists, we know where your kids go to school, etc.) Then the two GOP canvassers flipped and certified Wayne County’s (Detroit’s) election, on the condition that Michigan’s SoS (a Dem, unfortunately) conduct a statewide audit.

So “Stone Cold Truth” either made a mistake or is simply being disingenuous here.

Affidavits from witnesses are evidence and hence substantiate the fraud.

The election was stolen from President Trump.

Plain and simple observation. EVERY vote that was trucked into the counting centers during the “count stoppage” was for Joe Biden, no undervotes at all on many of them. And with no one uniform method of signature verification by the persons charged with the counting, one of those methods NEVER approved by the Georgia legislature, the invitation to fraud could not be more obliging.

And the technique was applied over and over again, even in states where actual voters would have voted overwhelmingly blue anyway. This only affected the popular vote, which has no bearing whatsoever on the electoral college system of selection of the president and vice-president.

Are we still going to divide the United States into two separate categories, the nearly contiguous “red” territory, and the great number of “blue” enclaves? Because that is the way it breaks out.

Conservatives have been rolling over and taking it for decades. He’s betting (as are Dems and RINOs everywhere) that this won’t be the straw (ok, more like 2x4 in this case) that breaks the camel’s back.
