Democrats sue Georgia officials over election rules that could ‘invite chaos’

Dems sue Georgia election officials

Democrats sued Georgia state election officials on Monday, alleging new rules that could allow local officials to delay certification of November’s presidential results were illegal.

The lawsuit was filed in the superior court of Fulton county by local Georgia Democratic politicians, the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic party of Georgia. It says the rules approved by the Republican-controlled Georgia state election board this month were intended to give individual county election officials the ability to delay or cancel the certification of votes.

The lawsuit says the new rules “introduce substantial uncertainty in the post-election process and – if interpreted as their drafters have suggested – invite chaos by establishing new processes at odds with existing statutory duties”.

The Georgia secretary of state’s office, which oversees the board, did not respond to requests for comment.

All eyes on Jack Smith as special counsel’s appeal combating Trump’s Mar-a-Lago case dismissal is finally set to launch

Jack Smith files appealThe Special Counsel’s Office will soon have its first shot at persuading a panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit that the judge in former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago case wrongly dismissed the prosecution on the ground that Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed.

The Tuesday, Aug. 27, deadline set the previous month for the government to file its opening brief is fast approaching. Although there was a school of thought that Smith  might consider filing well ahead of the deadline, in a potential move to fast-track the case, there was no brief yet filed as of Monday afternoon on the East Coast.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who has been resoundingly overruled by the 11th Circuit before, in mid-July tossed the classified documents case after “careful study” on Appointment Clause grounds — just weeks after Justice Clarence Thomas penned a concurrence questioning the special counsel’s authority in the Supreme Court immunity case Trump v. United States.

This is my political home’: how 30 ceasefire delegates changed the Democratic convention

Anti war groups at conventionAsma Mohammed organized the uncommitted movement in Minnesota because she “was seeing children who look like my son be massacred”.

June Rose, an uncommitted delegate from Rhode Island, joined the cause because they were raised as an orthodox Jew, kept away from Palestinians and taught that the occupation of Palestine was for their safety. Then Rose went to Palestine. “And I realized that not one single child needs to die in order to keep me safe,” they said.

Maryland Cop Convicted Of Throwing Smoke Bomb At Capitol Police On Jan. 6

Justin Lee convicted

A Maryland police officer was found guilty Friday of civil disorder, assaulting police and other charges after he threw a smoke bomb at officers during the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack.

Justin Lee, 26, took a smoke bomb from another rioter, pulled the pin, and threw it in the direction of Capitol police stationed in a tunnel that connects to the Capitol.

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden heard two days of trial testimony before finding Lee guilty of two felonies and three misdemeanors. During his testimony, Lee told McFadden he was “trying to make a statement” about police brutality when he threw the smoke bomb.

McFadden said he believed Lee went to the Capitol that day to disrupt Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

Georgia election deniers helped pass new voting rules. Many worry it’ll lead to chaos in November

Georgia election changesConservative activists in Georgia have worked with prominent election deniers to pass a series of significant changes to the procedures for counting ballots in recent weeks, raising alarm about the potential for confusion and interference in the election certification process in a key swing state this fall.

Since the beginning of August, the five-member state election board has adopted rules that allow local election boards to conduct a “reasonable inquiry” into election results before they are certified, and to allow any local election board member “to examine all election related documentation created during the conduct of elections prior to certification of results”. The same rule also requires local boards to reconcile any discrepancies between the total number of ballots cast and the number of voters who check in. If it can’t reconcile the numbers, the board is authorized to come up with a way to figure out which votes count and which do not.

At its upcoming meeting in September, the board is also expected to approve a measure that would require local officials to hand-count ballots to check the machine tabulations. Experts have warned that hand-counts are unreliable, costly and time-consuming.

HuffPost: Joe Biden Appoints Hawkish Official To Lead Israel Policy At State Department

Mira ResnickThe Biden administration on Friday tapped Mira Resnick, an official deeply involved in weapons transfers to Israel, for a new role shaping policy at the State Department on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to two people familiar with the move.

RFK Jr voters on ‘frustrating’ suspension of campaign: ‘He’s playing politics’

RFK Jr. followers speak out

Robert F Kennedy Jr, the arguable black sheep of one of America’s biggest families in politics, has suspended his campaign for president and endorsed Donald Trump – and it has rocked some of his supporters.

On Facebook, where Kennedy groups have amassed thousands of members across the country, some expressed bitter disappointment. In their view, Kennedy was a way to buck, and even break, the two-party system in the US – and while the end of his campaign hurt, backing one of the major party candidates was seen as far worse.
