    My summary

    3 Republican members of the State Elections Board held an emergency meeting to approve 2 new rules which appear to be from the RNC and Republican Georgia Congress members. This meeting was held against the advice of the state attorney generals office (Republican).

    The first rule requires county boards to post daily online ballot counts on their websites.

    The second rule increases the number of partisan poll monitors observing ballot counting at Georgia tabulation centers.

    This is absolutely being done as a way to question the results and cause delay of counting.

      This shit makes me glad that there’s a constitutional amendment specifying that the inauguration must take place at noon on January 20th.

      I assume the Republicans will only try to delay the inevitable if they lose. They can file as many lawsuits and motions as they want. If Harris wins, she’s being inaugurated in January. Period. Even the shitty Supreme Court we’re currently saddled with won’t try to delay a date and time that’s clearly spelled out. Angry Republicans can try to reverse it, but good luck with that.

          Sure… So Biden and Harris keep hold of the office or Biden steps down and Harris would have to choose her VP. Which I assume she would choose her running mate. That doesn’t really sound like a good plan for the slow learners either

              The courts can’t make rules, they can just perceive what was there. So it’s either election validated, or not validated yet, meaning the office wouldn’t hand over power. Congress would have to write an amendment for that to happen (2/3rds vote, which neither party holds)

          Except it specifies ‘of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified’, which pretty much says its the January after the election. If not, they can just make Biden president for longer lol.

      Given that Georgia saved the union last election, not surprised…
