Georgia GOP passes resolution to censure Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger

he Georgia Republican Party on Saturday approved a resolution to censure Brad Raffensberger.

The Georgia Secretary of State “failed to perform his duties in accordance with the laws and Constitution of the State of Georgia, and Republican Party values," according to a version of the resolution posted on Twitter by Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Greg Bluestein.

The resolution cited Raffensperger for "Entering into the Compromise Settlement Agreement and Release which changed Georgia's absentee voting procedures outside the Constitutionally prescribed format set forth in Georgia law." The resolution said that Raffensperger had undermined election security by permitting "mass mailings of absentee applications by his office and third parties which created opportunities for fraud and overwhelmed election offices; rendering accurate signature matching nearly impossible; allowing ballot drop boxes without proper chain of custody; and ignoring sworn affidavits and disregarding evidence of voter fraud.”

WSB-TV reported that a statement from the Georgia Secretary of State's office said: "The Secretary of States Office, county election directors and the tens of thousands of poll workers across the state worked to ensure that democracy was upheld. It is the job of counties to run elections and the secretary of states office’s job to report those election results-- it is the job of the political parties to deliver wins for their candidates. Let’s not confuse the two."

Miserable snaky RINO plotters must be exposed and punished.

But guess we should expect this in places besides DC. (the District of Corruption)

Corruption? That is the place that States and Nations go to die.

We must not ever forget that.

For clarity, the first word in the article was “The” not “he”.

A censure is an expression of strong disapproval or harsh criticism. In politics, a censure is an alternative to more serious measures against misconduct or dereliction of duty.[3][10]

Strong words.

Censure is meaningless in the modern day.

Brad The RAT deserves much more, like a Prison term.
But this is all the GOP can do.

Not really. Most people don’t care about censure and a large part of the public doesn’t know what it is *and* doesn’t care.

What they should have done is pull all party support (financial, support, ad buys) from him in the next primary. That would be a far more effective form of censure than this useless tongue-lashing.

No, the GOP could simply not provide official party support for him in the next primary. That is *well* within their capabilities, especially as they do that to candidates they don’t like in the primaries *already*.

Officially? Yes.

Practically? No.

This will follow both of them.

There may ultimately be criminal charges.

Deserves more punishment than a mere censure.

It is a bad crime that they committed.

This will hang with thema long time. It is possible that ultimately they may face criminal charges.

The GOP are expert level at strongly-worded letters, which is what this amounts to.

Should’ve censured Kemp too.

Duncan is done and won’t run again.

Everybody knows Ratburger is done and has no chance at being re-elected.

I hope the Deplorables come out in force to reject Kemp in the Republican primary.
