Democrats are suing Georgia's governor to force an ethics investigation of the State Election Board

Georgia Democrats went to court Wednesday to try to force Republican Gov. Brian Kemp to seek the removal of three members of the State Election Board, which has recently changed several election rules.

The lawsuit asks a Fulton County judge to order Kemp to conduct a hearing on whether three Republican members of the board violated ethics laws.

Kemp said he lacked the authority to start an ethics investigation earlier this month based on advice from Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, who said citizens’ complaints are insufficient to trigger a hearing process.

“Our State Election Board has been hijacked by extreme partisan operatives,” said state Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes, a Democrat from Duluth who filed the suit. “They are determined to make sure our state helps get Donald Trump elected no matter what Georgia voters say, and, sadly, it appears that our governor has abdicated his responsibility to fix this.”

Tell me again why any republican, especially the never Trump ones, would ever vote republican again after all the damage they have done, whether in support of Trump or just the cowardice of doing nothing.

I would also like to ask them what it is that is so bad about the democrats that makes them hold their nose to vote for them. Most of the educated ones seem to like all the policies that have been put into place by the Biden/Harris administration and agree more with Harris's economic plans. Do they still want to take away healthcare or Social Security, or stop all abortions? I mean seriously what is it that the republicans offer, other than to the wealthy? And Trump was not the first one to want to do this and they all voted for those guys in the past, with their disastrous economic plans. Do they yet understand that the dems have always been better on the economy since they have been forced to look honestly at difference between the actual history of the economy under republicans vs democrats?
