“Yes, Kemp and all the Republicans in the Georgia government just decided to conspire to steal the election from Trump. You guys have lost it.
Nobody is saying that. I’m not saying that. I’m saying there’s clear evidence of major irregularities if not blatant fraud - and Kemp is is ignoring it. Just fact that GOP observers were kicked out is itself an outrage. I never said Kemp conspired in that. I’m saying he is ignoring it.
If I criticize a cop for ignoring a mugging across the street, that doesn’t mean I’m saying the cop “conspired” with the mugger. I’m saying the cop failed to do his sworn duty to the rule of law. And that is a form of corruption.
Kemp hasn’t ignored anything. They did a statewide hand recount. He’s calling for a signature audit (which he doesn’t have the power to do.) Anything else would have to come through the process the Georgia legislature has already provided to resolve election disputes—an election challenge in state court, which is pending. Kemp has no role in that.
As for counting without poll watchers allowed to be present (and it is not actually clear that happened), the remedy is to count the votes again with poll watchers present. I was involved in exactly that here in Houston. And that has happened in Georgia with the statewide recount.
