Rachel Maddow gave a complete breakdown of the chaos surrounding the Georgia State Election Board on her MSNBC present Monday evening. The Republican-dominated board has handed a sequence of controversial modifications that may empower election officers to query, delay, or in any other case sabotage election certification. These strikes have led to reward from notorious election denier Donald Trump and lawsuits from Democrats searching for to cease them.
“They’re passing these guidelines which are Rudy-Giuliani-hair-dye-dripping-down-the-face-crazy,” Maddow stated, describing the slew of latest guidelines which are clearly designed to guard and embolden MAGA-affiliated election operatives.
“I think part of understanding the importance of this tactic is that confusion and mistakes are probably the point,” Maddow explains. “It’s one thing to say we want the right to flip an election result. That’s going to be sort of a hard sell. It’s another thing to say we want the right, and we claim the right to essentially report that there’s no knowable result here, that there isn’t any discernible result, that there’s a big question about it, that it seems like there’s a cloud over the result.”
Maddow did see some hopeful indicators in latest stories that Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has requested the state lawyer basic whether or not or not he has the suitable to take away problematic members of the board, and the Democratic Social gathering’s new lawsuit towards the rule modifications.
