epublican Georgia Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue released a joint statement Monday calling on Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to resign over the management of the elections throughout the state.

In the joint statement, both Senators who will face a runoff election in January, slammed Raffensperger, saying they are unhappy with how votes have been counted thus far. The two Senators told Raffensperger that illegal votes should not be counted and blamed him for not providing transparency on the elections.

“The management of Georgia elections has become an embarrassment for our state. Georgians are outraged, and rightly so. We have been clear from the beginning: every legal vote cast should be counted. Any illegal vote must not. And there must be transparency and uniformity in the counting process. This isn’t hard. This isn’t partisan. This is American. We believe when there are failures, they need to be called out — even when it’s in your own party,” the statement reads.

Ha! Finally those two know nothings get woke and realize they are in jeopardy.

[Dead Corpse]

Ooooh... a Joint Statement.

That will certainly convince people willing to commit felony voter fraud to straighten up and fly right...

[RationalResistance]

Wow... and here in GA I thought Raffensburgerdoodle was one of the good guys.

We let the counties handle all their elections, which is why Forsyth set the stage for long lines, etc... But have to admit Brad and Gov Kemp have been pretty silent during the whole debacle...

[tennmountainman]

Brad Raffensperger has no future in GA politics.
And where has Gov Kemp been hiding?
In a bunker with Nikki Haley.

[CatOwner]

Right up there with the sternly-written memos from Trump’s DOJ the past four years.

[personalaccts]

Kemp needs to stick a fork in himself Stacy Abrams is about to floss him between the gap in her mouth

[1Old Pro]

Ooooh... a Joint Statement. That will certainly convince people willing to commit felony voter fraud to straighten up and fly right...

Yep, they'll have to do better than that.

[Dead Corpse]

Yep.

Maybe we can have another Congressional Hearing where yet another Joint Statement may be issued after the Democrats investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong...

[Theodore R.]

Such a contrast between Governor DeSantis in FL and Governor Kemp in GA

[elcid1970]

PDJT’s pollwatchers should be swarming the polling places on runoff day. With lawyers standing by.

[tennmountainman]

Indeed.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Trump has appointed Doug Collins to head up the GA recount effort.

[originalbuckeye]

IS THERE A RECOUNT EFFORT IN GEORGIA?? We had better get a handle on the fraudulent registrations in Georgia. NOW. Abrams had hundreds out ‘collecting’ registrations. Our side had better be checking ALL THOSE REGISTRATIONS. We need to root out fraudulent registrations, BEFORE THE RUNOFF!!

[LilFarmer]

Yes!

[LilFarmer]

And audit and recount, but Trump’s lawyers need to be there for all of it.

[steve8714]

Strong letter to follow.

Prayer regarding Brad Raffensperger:

Lord God, please send Your Holy Spirit and Your heavenly hosts and messengers to tell Raffensperger AND HIS WHOLE STAFF what he needs to do to be in Your will and to convict him of his need to do it, to the point that he obeys You immediately.

In Jesus’ Name, amen.

If Raffensperger resigns he will have a little more time to get his personal affairs in order before he is hauled off to prison.

The main thing the SOS in GA needs to do is enforce Georgia law about who is eligible to vote in the January runoff. Here is the relevant section of Georgia law: Georgia Code Title 21. Elections § 21-2-501 (10) The run-off primary, special primary runoff, run-off election, or special election runoff shall be a continuation of the primary, special primary, election, or special election for the particular office concerned.  Only the electors who were duly registered to vote and not subsequently deemed disqualified to vote in the primary, special primary, election, or special election for candidates for that particular office shall be entitled to vote therein, and only those votes cast for the persons designated as candidates in such run-off primary, special primary runoff, run-off election, or special election runoff shall be counted in the tabulation and canvass of the votes cast.  No elector shall vote in a run-off primary or special primary runoff in violation of Code Section 21-2-224 .
