He’s probably been paid enough (or promised enough in “retirement benefits”) to not care if he commits political suicide.

Since he has steadfastly maintained this narrative, I think he wants to avoid a charge of treason. Just my opinion. Did his daughters boyfriend threaten to expose his treasonous acts? Hmmmmm!!!!!

Exactly...Under Art. II and Art. VI, I can't see why a Gov’s certification applies, in so far as the Constitution is concerned. I haven't, however, reviewed the ECA etc.

True for every state:

The state legislature is not a department of the USA.

The state legislature is not a department of its home state nor any other state.

The state legislature answers to four higher levels, that are:

1) US Constitution

2) State Constitution

3) The will of the lawful residents of the home state, and that will must be lawfully obtained (means, without deception, evasion, fraud).

4) 3/4ths of the other states sitting in convention.

3/4ths of the other states sitting in convention, is the top, under God.

The state legislature always has the power to act for the common defense of its home state, when elected officials fail - such as when there is deception, evasion, fraud, invasion.

For example, if China military air drops onto Georgia, but the governor and lieutenant governor fail to muster the Georgia militia and the Georgia National Guard, then the state legislature can order the muster and order the exercise of martial power.

Presently, many years have gone by, without exercise and respect of these foundations; but a lack of exercise does not invalidate the power and right of the state legislature(s).

And, the state legislature can overrule the governor and lieutenant governor, when the matter is the common defense.

ANY GA REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN that will not vote against the attempt by people to OVERTURN Trumps win MUST HAVE A LOCAL HEARING in his/her district and explain to them WHY they won’t vote for Trump electors. I bet I know how that meeting will go. These peeps are out of touch. Want till they hear what their constituents think. Trump, others, everyone, should publicly and privately announce they should do this in the interest of their local constituents!!!!

Why do the three cars appear just off a side access road rather than on the main freeway? No way they were pulled off.
In the second video that is filmed within a car driving down the freeway and passing by the accident scene, a 3-4 foot fence is evident between the freeway and side road and I see no breeches within this fence. Not being familiar with the accident area, exactly where did the accident occur and why is it just off the side access road?

There is absolutely no legitimate reason for a governor, elected as member of the same party in control of a state legislature, to act as Kemp has. Haven't heard from Purdue or Loeffler on this travesty, yet. Their comments will speak volumes.

It is time to investigate on a personal level Gov Kemp for any possible kickbacks or other irregularities in dealing with Dominion.

so someone ought to make sure the powers that be know about this case

But the Democrats still wanted a recount, and, as the calendar turned toward December, key deadlines approached for Hawaii officials. December 13, 1960 was the “safe harbor” day provided by 3 U.S.C. § 5. That means that, if an elector slate is certified as having been validly appointed on or before that day, Congress will presume that slate to have been validly appointed when the electoral votes are counted on January 6. At that moment in time, Governor Keahola’s November 28 certificate was the only one that could possibly get “safe harbor” status, so the Republicans argued in late November that a recount “would serve no useful purpose.”

State Circuit Court Judge Ronald Jamieson disagreed. Rather, on December 14, he ordered the recount to begin. Three days later, the Democratic slate edged ahead of the Republicans by twenty-one votes after thirty-four of the state’s 240 precincts had been counted. Kennedy’s lead grew to fifty-five by Sunday Dec. 18, the day before the presidential electors were scheduled to cast their electoral votes.
