The GOP has filed a lawsuit in Georgia to ensure that election law is properly followed in the January runoff election. The suit was filed on Tuesday and includes allowing proper access for poll-watchers as well as creating greater restrictions, including ballot box surveillance.
The RNC stated they believe if nothing is done then serious problems, like those present in the presidential election, will reoccur in the Georgia runoff race.
During the November election, Republican poll-watchers were often not close enough to observe the counting of the votes or weren’t allowed in the building at all. This made it difficult to ensure an unbiased count of the vote.
Additionally, Republicans in Georgia, along with other states, have called the unilateral expansion of absentee ballot infrastructure unconstitutional.
GOP members have argued the responsibility to decided a state’s voting process and regulations rests with the legislature, not the judiciary or executive branch.
Republican voters in Georgia have grown concerned, saying that if nothing is changed to secure the voting process then the election will be stolen again.
While Georgia Republican Gov. Brain Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger refuse to call a special session of the legislature, voters are losing faith their vote will be secure.
Despite many witnesses coming forward with voter fraud testimonies and the secretary of state admitting their was systemic fraud, many Republican lawmakers appear to remain complacent.
“You know, they’ve used the pandemic and the phony, fake ballots, the mail in ballots…they used that to sabotage a country,” President Trump stated. “We’re not gonna let it happen…as you know a major issue in this state (Georgia) is voter fraud.”

Everybody saw this coming except them. I think about 10 billion was spent on the 2020 campaign.
The Georgia elections are probably fixed. Will they get away with it again?
The RNC decided on December 9th to fight. What’s the rush?
Who put starch in the Republicans’ pants?
All poll watchers and workers in Georgia should go to the head of the line to get COVID vaccinations.
That way the poll watchers can sit shoulder to shoulder with the poll workers insuring the law is being followed.
No more of this crap of being held back 30 feet for COVID safety.
Honest elections are necessary for a society.
Useless. Concerns about depriving Georgia citizens of their constitutional and civil rights. FBI/DoJ asleep at the wheel.

O/T: RIC JUST DROPPED A NUKE ON HANNITY, SAID THERE ARE *DOZENS* OF DEMOCRATS COMPROMISED BY CHINA.
I’m on my phone otherwise I’d post it.
I wonder how many pieces of silver bought Raffensperger? How much power was assured to Kemp to insure his perfidy, his treachery? Their dead sous are on the bullet train to Hell.
It’s crazy. They are simply asking to enforce existing law and they have to file a lawsuit to do it.
Cameras cover every square inch of those establishments.
You have to file a lawsuit to UPHOLD voting laws?! Rod Serling, Lewis Caroll and Franz Kafka must be having a great game of three-handed whist somewhere...
This is the first Presidential election the RNC could contest election fraud in 35+ years. Which is insanity, but there it is.

Better late than never. If the RNC can “git ‘er done”, more power to it. Kudos.
...
Wow.
It’s amazing the RNC doesn’t fight for fair elections every time. Is it because they are lazy, stupid or corrupt?
No
