Kemp "Stop the Threats"
Southeast Georgia Today ^ | 11/18/2016 | Secretary of State Brian Kemp

Posted on 11/19/2016 10:13:07 AM PST by \/\/ayne

"The Presidential election is over but, unfortunately, the vitriol remains," stated Secretary of State Brian Kemp. "Our office has received numerous reports of individuals hurling insults and threats at Georgia's Electors because they are unsettled with America's choice for President of the United States.

This is absolutely unacceptable and those participating in or encouraging these efforts should stop. The electoral process in America has worked, and everyone - Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and others - should respect the will of Georgia's voters and the Electors who represent them."

Isn’t this kind of behavior and intimidation illegal?

It should be a felony to threaten or harass an elector...

I think it should be a crime to harass or bribe.

That statement is not going to make a dent. These harrassers need to be named, shamed and fully prosecuted. Which means,
unless you live in a ‘red state’, this may have to wait till we get a new Attorney General.

Solve the problem. Designate GEORGE SOROS and BLM as domestic terrorists and incarcerate them. Sedition is a federal offense.

Moonbats are trying to change an election result they don’t like.

And the way they’re doing it will have zero effect on the outcome of the Electoral College vote next month.

But thanks for trying to muscle Republican electors into disavowing Trump.

That’s more of a commentary on them than it is on the electors they seek to coerce into voting the way they would like.

Dream on.

Isn’t voter intimidation an attempt to interfere with the US Election. Dare I say, an act of domestic terrorism......

Obama's Socialists are sore losers.

Obama's legacy will be the election of Keith Ellison to lead the once Democrat Party into the new Democrat Socialist Islamic Party......IF Ellison is allowed to become Chairman of that fractured party.....

Look, President Obama is in charge of law enforcement and the FEC. He's not going to convict or charge anybody. That's a given. Didn't think I had to say that.

So what CAN we do? The STATE Secretaries of State can make statements and some STATE law enforcement agencies may even take action.

STEP ONE would be to get those Secretaries to make statements.

What else can result from these statements? If the electors are keeping records, the harassers could possibly be charged later and if the Secretary Of State called on them to quit, that could be brought out in a trial.

What else? It de-legitimizes these moron election thieves.

Let's do what we can do and not whine about what we can't do.

The United States AG will almost certainly NOT investigate these reports, nor will the MSM likely report on it.

It should be a felony to even contact them.

This is a very important responsibility, and there should be no outside interference.

The elector has to answer to only the law and his own conscience until he has cast his electoral vote.

Then, if he/she hasn’t acted in abidance of the law, the overseers of the law should take care of it.

Individuals should stay out of it.
