Summary

Emails reveal Georgia election officials aligned with Trump and election deniers are plotting to change state election rules to give local officials power to refuse certifying election results, which would effectively allow them to veto voters' choices. This effort includes members of groups like the Election Integrity Network and Tea Party Patriots, and represents part of a larger national scheme to obstruct the 2024 election.

    Emails obtained by @CREWcrew and @JustinGlawe show how Georgia election officials who are all in on Trump’s Big Lie are plotting in secret to change Georgia's election rules and give themselves the power to veto votes they don’t like. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/s…

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe Their strategy is to change Georgia's election rules to allow local election officials to refuse to certify the 2024 election results. This is a direct attack on the independence of Georgia elections.

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe This isn't the first major story revealing emails showing how Georgia election officials, at the county level and on the State Election Board, are coordinating with MAGA election deniers to change the rules.

    🚨Emails between Trump-backed Georgia Election Board members & local election officials reveal a scheme to throw elections into chaos. @FairFightAction's @GWLauren told @RollingStone, the emails expose a plan to secretly rewrite Georgia’s election rules. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe The MAGA operation has tried this before. In 2020, a Coffee County, GA, elections official delayed certifying President Biden’s GA win, citing MAGA-backed election conspiracies. She's facing prosecution for illegal coordination with the Trump campaign. cnn.com/2023/08/13/pol…

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe The Guardian: Spanning a period beginning in January...communications expose the inner workings of a group [Georgia Election Integrity Coalition] that includes...supporters of...Trump’s election lies as well as ongoing efforts to portray the coming election as beset with fraud.

  7. #7

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe The Georgia Election Integrity Coalition includes local election officials connected to groups like the Tea Party Patriots & Election Integrity Network, run by Cleta Mitchell, an informal adviser to the Trump White House during its attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe Another member is Fulton County Election Board member Julie Adams, who refused to certify local elections and is suing to allow election officials to obstruct the certification of election results. Adams is involved with the Election Integrity Network. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

  9. #9

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe What Adams' lawsuit seeks to change on certification is similar to one rule change passed by MAGA Georgia Election Board members. The change allows local election officials to refuse to certify election results citing fraud concerns, with no evidence. cnn.com/2024/08/11/pol…

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe Some Georgia local election officials already refused to certify elections last year. One local election official refused to certify in a public meeting, but privately signed official documents to certify election results afterwards, behind closed doors. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe Georgia law is clear that certifying election results is not a choice — it’s a mandatory duty. Election deniers are seeking more power to veto our votes by obstructing the certification of election results. campaignlegal.org/update/can-geo…

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe The stakes couldn't be higher. There's a larger national scheme in motion to allow Trump-aligned officials to obstruct elections & sow chaos. The MAGA operation wants to hand Georgia to Trump, even if he doesn't earn a majority of our votes. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

  13. #13

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe It’s up to us to expose these tactics. Talk to your friends, family, and neighbors, especially folks who don't usually vote. Our votes are our power to stop the MAGA operation's attempt to install Trump in power in 2024, so they can implement Project 2025.

  14. #14

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe We beat Trump at the ballot box in 2020. He knows he lost and he knows we can do it again — that's why the MAGA operation is working overtime to suppress our votes and obstruct the election.

    @CREWcrew @JustinGlawe By turning out in huge numbers, we can make sure the MAGA operation's plot to install Trump falls flat & their eventual lies about fraud ring hollow. Early voting starts next month. Make your plan to vote today. 🇺🇸🗳️ iWillVote.com
