It takes a big person to stop, collaborate and listen (sorry; had to) and thanks to frequent show guest Marilyn Marks, executive director at the Coalition for Good Governance, that's not all I've done when it comes to the Georgia Elections Board's antics of late; it's made me come to realize the "MAGA 3" are actually trying enact some policies and procedures to make election tabulating/canvassing more transparent and accurate.
Now look; I'm not saying their motives aren't to aid Donald Trump's 2024 goals (likely so) or that they're not trying to placate his ego by re-litigating 2020 in Fulton County (they are), but what if all this leads to Georgia and it's 159 counties getting their Election Day/night processes cleaned up, aren't we all better for it?
Marilyn provides a great example - Coffee County (yeah, that one) mishandled its May 2024 elections tabulating and - even with a MAGA majority, the Coalition for Good Governance got their elections board to see the errors in their system.
Why are Democrats and progressive groups defending the state's awful system just six years after berating it in the aftermath of Stacy Abrams' defeat? Hard to explain, but I've a theory I shared with Marilyn. Why is Brad Raffensperger derelict in his duties as Secretary of State (and as a non-voting elections board member until July)? Marilyn spells that out, too.
