Saying “we are altering how the election is being conducted" with a straight face
Janelle King, one of the maligned and newly-seated "MAGA 3" Georgia Elections Board members, panned the idea of insisting Georgia revert to using hand-marked paper ballots, saying "we are altering how the election is being conducted" - as if it say ditching Dominion machines is an unnecessary last-minute alteration
Who says irony isn't dead?
Despite concerns from the left and right about the potential for hacks, notably after the Coffee County breach perpetrated by MAGA operatives, King and the rest of the board unanimously voted to stick with Dominion's touchscreens and QR codes unreadable by the human eye. Instead, they continued to add layers of local gear-grinding in the certification process, against the urging of even Republicans.
They also got stiff-armed by state attorney general Chris Carr, who gave a long-winded "no " to their insistence his office (again) review Fulton County's 2020 results.
Night one of DNC 2024 was electric - from Hillary Clinton basking in a "lock him up" crowd-glow to Georgia's Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock continuing to be effective displaying the Democratic Party's moral compass in stark contrast to Donald Trump and MAGA extremism. Oh, and those three women (and a husband) stepping forward to share their reproductive horror stories. Memorable stuff.
