Republican who refused to certify Georgia primary a member of election denialist group (www.theguardian.com)

Julie Adams, who abstained from certifying May results, belongs to Election Integrity Network, founded by Trump ally Cleta Mitchell

A Republican on the Fulton county election board who refused to certify the May primary election is a member of an election denial activist network founded by Cleta Mitchell, a Trump ally who aided his efforts to overturn the election in Georgia and elsewhere.

Julie Adams, who was appointed to the board in February, abstained from certifying the results of the May primary last month. Each of the other four board members, including the other Republican appointee Michael Heekin, voted for certification. No allegation of error or misconduct has been raised about the 21 May primary.

Adams is the regional coordinator for southeastern states in the Election Integrity Network (EIN), a national group that has recruited election deniers to target local election offices. She helped start the Georgia Election Integrity Coalition after attending an EIN summit on election integrity in 2022, according to a publicly-posted biography.

She has also been affiliated with Tea Party Patriots, another election denialist group.

This is the state where the governor was the Secretary of State and threw a bunch of Democrats off the rolls and then closed a bunch of Democrat-leaning voting places and then resigned a month before magically being elected as governor?

That state? The same state where the FBI asked to see the voting machines after the 2016 election because of all the russian hacking into voting places and they "accidentally" wiped all the machines a day after getting the request? That state?

Huh.

“Man who brandished gun and threatened elected official member of far-right militia”

Like, yea, that checks out.

If George Santos could get onto the US House with the tiniest bit of scrutiny, I’m not surprised that anyone else was elected despite being unqualified for whatever reason.

No Integrity Election Network, I fixed the name.
