Senators Introduce Petition to Call Special Session

(December 5, 2020) | Saturday, Sen. William Ligon (R – Brunswick), Sen. Greg Dolezal (R – Cumming), Sen. Brandon Beach (R – Alpharetta) and Sen. Burt Jones (R – Jackson) drafted a Petition calling for and convening a Special Session. The petition serves as notification to Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that an emergency exists such that a session of the General Assembly is being called for and convened on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at 10:00 A.M. in order to attend to such emergency and for all purposes provided for pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States.
This Petition comes after the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee was inundated with affidavits, signed under penalty of perjury, from citizens all over the state who testified to blatant election fraud and many violations of the law that have taken place during the 2020 General Election as well as during the follow-up recounts.
“We recognize our duty to move forward with this Petition due to the level of fraud and violations of law which took place during this 2020 election cycle. We urge others to join us,” stated Sen. Ligon. “We need at least 29 signatures in the Senate on the Petition before 9 AM, Tuesday, December 8, 2020. A similar Petition in the House requires at least 91 signatures by that same time. Now is the time to call your senators and representatives to stand up and be counted on this effort to restore integrity in the election.”
As the Petition makes clear, testimonial and other evidence given before the Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee demonstrated a systemic failure to observe Georgia Election laws. Underage individuals and convicted felons registered and were allowed to vote. People voted who were not listed in the state’s records as having been registered to vote. Voters who moved to a different county more than 30 days prior to the election and failed to re-register were allowed to cast votes. Voters registered using bogus addresses such as UPS facilities and other stores, yet their votes counted. Ballots of individuals who were deceased prior to Election Day counted. Over and over again, ballots were counted outside the view of poll watchers or designated monitors, defying the law. Even the law itself was modified by an unconstitutional agreement which weakened signature verification requirements for absentee ballot applications and absentee ballots as set out in Code Sections 21-2-381 and 21-2-386.
According to committee members, that was just a part of the testimony that came before them and much more is still being submitted. Any certification of electors by the Governor of Georgia or the Georgia Secretary of State in light of such systemic failures, the Petition states, would not be in conformity with the Georgia Election Code enacted by the General Assembly pursuant to its plenary power. Therefore, following Supreme Court guidance in Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 at 104, a state legislature, “after granting the franchise in the special context of Article II, can take back the power to appoint electors.”
“We believe we have reached the point that the results of this election are untrustworthy,” stated Sen. Burt Jones. “Such pervasive disregard for election laws by our election officials requires a decisive response. It is time for our legislative body to do its job.”

Thank you - just these days I like to source everything with all the misinfo going round.
Will do!

From what I have learned about the Safe Harbor Provision, as long as there is pending litigation OR EVEN OTHER PROCEDURES (hearings, sessions) in a State, the certification of electors is not valid. Somebody correct me, but I believe that this is the case in all the other swing states, except for PA. In PA, their Supreme Court has already ruled on the only case that was pending in that State (Kelly’s case). That’s why, I think, Alito moved up the date to Tues. in order to avoid any additional confuion/litigation.
I think what you're talking about - " a SCOTUS ruling re:PA should give some spine to the swing legislatures" - is what Trump and the others mean when they say the first will be the hardest. Here's praying.
No worries, I just think it’s a very good read... it tells me they are listening.
I have been calling, tweeting and emailing them for weeks, and many other Georgians have been and I finally feel we’ve broken through.
Vernon Jones can always run in 2022, no?
No one is stopping him.
“The legislature can do it on their own.”
But don’t they have to have a certain percentage majority to call the session? Someone said there is a number, but the majority doesn’t want “to go there”. They’d better go there.
Well yeah, but how realistic is it? It would take 60% of the member of both houses. That means 34 in the senate and 108 in the House. Republicans hold 35 seats in the Senate and 103 in the House. Not going to happen that way.
Three cheers for Georgia! I just watched the Guiliani hearing. There was little doubt that they had to act.
.....only 10 per cent?.....you can do better than that......

No but you do need 60% of each house to request the special session. Not enough Republicans for that.
Is this a new petition? Seems there have been several.
Thanks! And I just posted a good blind CC for all House members ... more bang for the buck! (or whatever that saying is)
The petition is dated Dec 5th and serves as notification to Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that an emergency exists such that a session of the General Assembly is being called for and convened on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at 10:00 A.M. in order to attend to such emergency and for all purposes provided for pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States.
😂😂😂
I and probably many others have had that same thought. Especially after Trump last night urged Phil Collins to run for governor in two years!
Oh, OK. Guess it’s new then.
Hard to keep things straight when it’s all flying thick and fast. Sometimes, too, people get in a hurry and in haste they forget to search, and the same story gets posted multiple times.
Anyhow, many thanks for the clarification and correction.

Is this a road to real action or a political fig leaf to cover themselves from being implicated as Kemp’s accomplices?
