The leftwing activists disguised as journalists at the New York Times are freaking out over the conservative takeover of the Georgia Election Board and what it means for November. The latest election integrity efforts in this key swing state are impressive, and we are seeing that Georgia is not alone. A number of other states are implementing comparable protections, and Trump is already bragging about it!
– Georgia has implemented sweeping election reforms to prevent the issues seen in the 2020 election.
– New laws in Georgia prohibit the automatic sending of ballots and the private funding of election officials.
– The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that private contractors working for the government must comply with public records requests, meaning that companies like Dominion voting machines must provide election-related documents upon request.
These last few years, the key swing state of Georgia has been on the forefront of election integrity efforts. In March 2021, Governor Brian Kemp signed into law sweeping election reform measures designed to prevent all the chaos surrounding 2020 from ever happening again. The legislation was influenced by the work of Heritage Action for America, part of the Heritage Foundation, which is the author of the infamous Project 2025 that the Democrats are putting in so much effort to demonize.
Shortly after the 2020 controversy, Heritage Action launched an effort to strengthen Georgia’s election laws and restore voter confidence in the state. Not only did Heritage mobilize 20,000 activists to help them contact their legislators and advocate for election integrity legislation, but they did a $600,000 TV ad buy, as well as an entire digital marketing campaign to encourage legislation designed to promote and secure election integrity.
The result of such efforts was enacting sweeping reforms into law, which protect absentee voting by requiring voter ID. They have stopped automatically sending request forms or ballots to all registered voters, they require the printing ballots on security paper so they can be authenticated. The law prohibits ballot trafficking by political operatives, and it strengthens supervision of absentee ballot drop boxes Moreover, Georgia now prohibits the private funding of election officials and government agencies like we saw with the hundreds of millions of dollars of Zuckerbucks targeted towards Democrat-dense districts. The law required hundreds of thousands of names to be purged from their voter registration lists.
It increases transparency by allowing election observers complete access to the election process and requires that ballot-counting must continue without pause until all votes have been tabulated. So in fairness, Georgia has really stepped up to the plate here in securing elections. The New York Times, the official mouthpiece of the swamp establishment, published a piece with this headline: ‘How a far-right takeover of Georgia’s Election Board Could Swing the Election.’
This is a panicked piece freaking out over the Republican Party’s takeover of Georgia’s election board. The Georgia State Election Board, unlike in 2020, now has a conservative majority overseeing it. To the horror of the leftwing activists disguised as journalists at the New York Times, that conservative majority is thoroughly aligned with Trump and the MAGA movement.
The reason why this is so important is because, in the end, if there is a dispute over the election in Georgia, it is the Georgia State Election Board that will have the ultimate say in arbitrating the dispute. When several election boards dismissed the concerns over the integrity of that election. With this so-called far right takeover of Georgia’s state election board, the New York Times is freaking out that such concerns, were they to rise again, will not be so readily dismissed.
It is actually likely that those concerns will be rectified by the election board that now shares those concerns. For example, some of the new rules that the election board has already put into place include empowering local officials to delay certification of results that are contested and investigate past election results. The Georgia Supreme Court just ruled unanimously that private contractors working for the government are subject to public records requests.
This ruling means that Georgians have the right to obtain public records directly from private organizations that have government contracts, a decision that overturned a lower court ruling that allowed contractors to dodge record requests. This is so important because it now means that companies like Dominion voting machines and other private election services are now legally obligated to turn over all of their election documents upon request from any civilian.
The concern that this ruling implicitly addresses is that private companies now can no longer hide behind claims of propriety protections when refusing to publicly reveal their documents. A private company that contracts with the Georgia government is now required by law to show all records involved in that contract and its outworking to the public. It’s a huge ruling for election integrity, even though it doesn’t directly involve the issues of elections.
The good news is that it’s not just Georgia. In Arizona, one of the last things their out-going Governor Doug Ducey signed into law was a bill requiring proof of citizenship in order to vote. He also signed a bill that expressly states that the Arizona legislature would have the power to award presidential electors, not secretaries of state or even the governor. The Arizona legislature is recovering its own constitutional function. The Constitution gives sole plenary authority to state legislatures to determine the time, place, and manner of elections.
In South Dakota, Governor Kristi Noem recently signed into law a ban on Zuck Bucks. This is where Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg poured in tens of millions of dollars in elections across the country to tilt the races to the Democrat candidates. Zuckerberg basically bribed state officials by giving them ‘donations’ to help cover the election operating costs during the pandemic. Those so-called ‘donations’ are now banned in the state of South Dakota. Iif what the New York Times is complaining about is an indicator, things are starting to look pretty good for election integrity!
