    So, to sum up: Jeffares is a pro-Trump Republican who believes that election fraud occurred in 2020. He got his job on the State Election Board thanks to another pro-Trump Republican, Jones, who also believes in election lies, and who allegedly tried to illegally install Trump as president. Jeffares then went on to solicit an administration job from a Trump campaign contact and to work on the State Election Board to implement election-denier policies in Georgia that benefit Trump.

    Rick Jeffares (at right, with steepled fingers) at a meeting of the Georgia State Election Board. (Via YouTube) “How the rumor got started that I would join the administration is beyond me,” Jeffares told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Wednesday. “It’s all just to make us look like criminals.”

    The AJC framed Jeffares’s attempted solicitation of a Trump administration job as not “formal,” as if that somehow negates the apparent conflict of interest.

    Open corruption where it used to be at least a little bit hidden. That’s the modern GOP.

      In other words, Jones is an unindicted co-conspirator of Trump’s coup attempt who should’ve been removed from office before he had a chance to appoint his accomplice (Jeffares) into a position to continue the criminal conspiracy.
