Trump’s focus on Georgia election board raises fears for November vote

When the Georgia State Board of Elections convened this week
to consider new rules for the November vote,
some in the crowd stood and cheered.


“She’s the hero,” one attendee whispered in the packed, wood-paneled room in the state Capitol in downtown Atlanta.

“Hero!” a second person said.

They were talking about #Janice #Johnston, a retired obstetrician who has
repeatedly claimed without evidence that falsified data in the state’s largest county tainted President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in the state.

Along with two fellow board members who form a conservative majority on the five-member board,

she was celebrated by name at Donald Trump’s Atlanta rally over the weekend,
with the former president calling them “pit bulls fighting for honesty, transparency and victory.”


To election administrators, democracy advocates and Georgia political figures
— including some Republicans
— Trump’s comments were unsettling:
The board’s work is supposed to be done outside the fray of politics,
and Trump’s words suggested that
💥 if he loses the state, he would again mount a pressure campaign on the officials responsible for fairly and impartially overseeing elections, 💥just as he did during his failed attempt to overturn his loss in 2020.
