  1. Georgia governor inquires whether he can remove MAGA election board members after series of alarming votes

    Donald Trump recently praised the right-wing coalition on the Georgia state election board

    Georgia's Republican Governor #Brian #Kemp asked Attorney General Christopher Carr for “guidance” on whether he can remove members of the state election board, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    This comes ♦️after three right-wing members of the five-person board championed and #passed a series of new rules that add #extra #requirements for county election boards to #certify their results. ♦️

    Under the rules passed this month
    — less than 100 days before election day on November 5
    — county boards must make a “reasonable inquiry” before certifying the election.

    However, the rules do not define what an inquiry should involve or what “reasonable” means, according to the Journal-Constitution.

    County election boards are also required to hold a meeting to verify their vote count on the Friday after election day -- which is before the ballot return deadline for voters overseas and in the military❗️

  2. Forget the #HeritageFoundation, this is terrifying:

    #Trump’s “declared intention, if reelected, (is) to ‘create a new #credentialing body’ within the #federal #government that would be ‘the gold standard, anywhere in the world, to #certify #teachers who embrace patriotic values to support our way of life, & understand that their job is not to #indoctrinate #children, but very simply to educate them.’”
