Georgia Republicans center campaigns on false claims of election fraud
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 7/15/21 | Greg Bluestein

Across the state, candidates for public office are repeating Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was rigged and the contest was stolen from him. Many are running for local office and state legislative seats, while some are seeking the most powerful posts in the state.

The conspiracy theories are already complicating GOP primaries in Georgia, as Republicans try to fend off ascendant Democrats fresh off a string of victories in November’s presidential election and January’s U.S. Senate runoffs.

The leading candidates competing to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock have raised questions about the election results and echoed the phony narrative of widespread voting fraud in Georgia.

Even the GOP candidates who don’t promote lies about a “rigged” election have talked about restoring confidence in an electorate that’s scarred by them. Under pressure from Trump and his allies, Kemp formally launched his reelection campaign by emphasizing support for new voting restrictions.

One of his Republican rivals, party-switching ex-lawmaker Vernon Jones, has demanded reviews of the election despite no evidence of systemic irregularities — and no chance of affecting the outcome of the race.

The false narrative looms large in the Senate race, too. Herschel Walker, the former University of Georgia football great inching toward a run, has repeated Trump’s claims that the results were fraudulent, and he has shared other conspiracy theories about the vote on social media.

They are really pushing back against what is becoming an increasingly obvious truth.

It’s a basic logical fallacy that you can’t prove a negative. So of course the AJC’s top political reporter is making such an assertion.

Fraud has been proven across the country in the states that stopped counting. The courts refuse to get involved or say nobody has standing. Dissent is being suppressed and the unaccountable Capitol police just got 2 billion dollars to expand into every state as a secret police, accountable only to Pelosi.

That leaves only one possible solution. God help us all.
Buy more brand and rice, it could be a long dark time ahead.

Hell, Biden himself said America is heading into a dark winter.

The urinal constipation has been a joke for years as anybody who’s ever lived in Atlanta full well knows.

There was massive fraud. There is irrefutable evidence of it that has been presented. The deniers have no way to refute it.

AJC isn’t even pretending to be anything more than a shill for the Democrat Party.

“ascendant Democrats fresh off a string of victories in November”...or not. Democrats are only “ascendent” when they cheat. Stay tuned, Mr. Bluestein.

Labeling the truth as false does not make it so.

A strong opinion doth not a fact make.

“Vernon Jones, has demanded reviews of the election despite no evidence of systemic irregularities — and no chance of affecting the outcome of the race.“ = We stole it, fair and square.

The Constipation needs to check the audit reports instead of spouting libtard propaganda.
