In the U.S., "Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed Tuesday a bomb threat was made against a polling place, but he said it was of Russian origin and not credible."

“They’re up to mischief it seems,” he added, about the Russians. “They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election.”

11:11 pm - this is the status quo in Germany's best newspaper "Die Zeit" (IMHO). It's updated every 90 minutes.
I have no doubt #Fetterman will fix #Pennsylvania - but what's going wrong in #Georgia? Didn't people listen to #Raffensperger? @SteveThompson

@gtconway3dg 1/2
Atlanta- Georgia Secretary of State Brad #Raffensperger made the following statement on Thursday night:

"Earlier today, our office became aware of a video purporting to show a Haitian immigrant with multiple Georgia ID's claiming to have voted multiple times.

This is false, and is an example of targeted #disinformation we've seen this election. It is likely foreign #interference attempting to sow discord and chaos on the eve of the #election.

🧵(77/100) #ReasonsNotToVoteForTrump
I'M AMAZED this comment made by #OrangeHitler during his infamous "perfect phone call" with GASoS Brad #Raffensperger seeking "11,780 votes" hasn't gone viral.

WHY DID #OrangeHitler compliment Raffensperger's lawyer, "Ryan Germany", on his last name???

I have yet to hear ANYONE provide an innocent explanation for this. 🤨 #TrumpIsANazi

No leopard has ever eaten someone’s face quite as voraciously as this.

#maga #trump #conspiracytheories #raffensperger

While we talk about how the #VP will help or hurt the race, I like to remind people that the RW will keep working on all the ways to F up voting.

They'll keep threatening election officials & workers. Like Trump did #Raffensperger on Saturday

They aren't planning on winning.
They are planning on WHINING - about losing.

They will be suing to stop the entire election certification process.

#ConvictedFelonTrump is breaking terms of his #bail right now by attacking witnesses in his GA #criminal trial, Governor #Kemp and Secretary of State #Raffensperger. Trump is angry bc they wouldn't help him overturn the #2020election and they won't help him overturn the #2024election.

But ever since President #Biden's inauguration, #conservative activists & policymakers in #Georgia have tried to bypass #Raffensperger & worked diligently to turn Trump's heads-I-win-tails-you-lose philosophy of #elections into public #policy.

As #Trump has continued to lie that the #2020election was "stolen" & "rigged", Trump & his supporters have been making concrete, step-by-step progress in shaping electoral processes to his benefit.

@marcelias Cleta Mitchell should already be an indicted co-conspirator under Georgian laws.

"...
“It’s absurd for Cleta Mitchell or others to suggest our path to victory is by making it harder for young people to vote,” said the ex-Republican congressman Charlie Dent. “Republicans should not fear how people vote. Good candidates with good messages should resonate with voters.”
..."

Honestly, if you ever had been fearing Trump's shysters' efforts to move the election-manipulation case away from Georgia into to perceived safe haven of Trump-appointed federal judges — Don't be!

Moving Trump's case to federal courts ***will not*** eliminate the charges brought in Georgia, & Trump will never be able to pardon himself or be pardoned by a "Republican" co-conspirator in presidential office for what he set on foot & supported in Georgia!

#MarkMeadows spent >4 hrs #testifying on Mon before US Dist Court Judge Steve C. Jones, who is considering #Meadows’ petition to move his case to #FederalCourt, where he will then seek to #dismiss charges.

…But #prosecutors argued Meadows’ post-election efforts, incl’g a visit to a suburban #Atlanta ballot processing center & arranging the now-infamous Jan 2, 2021, phone call between #Trump & #Georgia SOS #Raffensperger #violated the federal #HatchAct,

@Nonilex Abusers of power & accessories to Conspiracy Against Rights don't get to claim protection against accountability & the laws under the #SupremacyClause.

#MarkMeadows’s job wasn’t to help #Trump steal the 2020 election

This is how he justifies asking to be tried in #FederalCourt for his actions — such as setting up the Jan. 2, 2021, call in which Trump asked #Georgia Secy of State Brad #Raffensperger (R) to “find 11,780 votes” — rather than in the GA state courthouse where he faces charges from #FultonCounty’s DA.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/08/30/meadows-trump-georgia-federal-court/

#Trump invoked #RubyFreeman’s name 18 times during a (recorded) phone call w/Brad #Raffensperger, the #Georgia secy of state, on Jan. 2, 2021. In the call, Trump asked Raffensperger to help him “find” 11,800 votes — enough to swing the results in GA from the winner, Joseph R. #Biden Jr.

“I’ve lost my name, & I’ve lost my reputation,” Ms. Freeman testified to the House panel, adding…, “Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you?”

#Georgia Secretary of State Brad #Raffensperger & state election investigator #FrancesWatson have been #subpoenaed to #testify during a Monday hearing in #FederalCourt in Georgia to determine if the #RICO #indictment filed against fmr #Trump White House Chief of Staff #MarkMeadows should be transferred to federal court.

Via Anna Bower:

Yesterday, DA #FaniWillis subpoenaed former #Trump campaign attorneys Alex Kaufman & Kurt Hilbert to appear in federal court on Mon. for the #Meadows removal hearing.

Now
@ajc reports #Raffensperger will be subpoenaed too.

Their testimony could preview part of what we’ll see at trial. #legal #Georgia

Insightful cartoon from NickAnderson. He comes up with the best stuff!

“Donald #Trump infamously called urged fellow Republican Brad #Raffensperger, the #Georgia secretary of state, to “find 11,780 votes" to overturn his defeat. Now, we only need 12 jurors to save us from Trump.”

One very interesting charge brought against Trump & his co-conspirators in Georgia is
"conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer", especially when looking at Rudy Giuliani, who used to be called "America's mayor" years ago.
Concerning the number of charges Rudy's playing in the same RICO league as Trump today: 13.

When you're a Secretary of State & a presidential seatholder tells you, that people "don’t want to vote. They hate the state. They hate the governor, and they hate the Secretary of State. I will tell you that right now. The only people that like you are people that will never vote for you. You know that, Brad, right?"
you should understand it as an implicit threat to abuse the power of publicity of presidential office to manipulate & incite people to exert possibly even physical pressure against you until you will comply with the seatholder's demands.

@SteveThompson
#Gerorgia will save the world again.
Did Mr. #Raffensperger get the Medal of Honor and a statue?

Trump tampering with potential witness, former Georgian Lt Gov Geoff Duncan, describing him as a "failed" public official, a "nasty disaster for those looking into the Election Fraud that took place in Georgia."
And indirectly telling everyone reading his inciting posts on what is ironically called "truth social" about Geoff Duncan "he shouldn't" testify before the Fulton County Grand Jury.

Which equates to Trump putting crosshairs on Mr Duncan.

Despite having been advised at his D.C. arreignment to abstain from aggressive acts like that.

Before #Jan6, #MarkMeadows joked about #Trump’s false election claims

Mark Meadows joked about the baseless claim that large numbers of votes were fraudulently cast in the names of dead people in the days before the then-WH chief of staff participated in a phone call in which Trump alleged there were close to 5k dead voters in #Georgia & urged Brad #Raffensperger, GA’s secretary of state, to overturn the #2020election there.
