  • This is definitely going to be used by election deniers to say “See, they really don’t want fair elections.” I’m not sure I really understand the role of election certification if it has to happen regardless by law. What is to be done in the case of real election interference or fraud?

    Edit: Turns out reading the article can help 😅

    Judge McBurney wrote that nothing in Georgia law gives county election officials the authority to determine that fraud has occurred or what should be done about it. Instead, he wrote, the law says a county election official’s “concerns about fraud or systemic error are to be noted and shared with the appropriate authorities but they are not a basis for a superintendent to decline to certify.”












  • On Friday, Cole County Circuit Judge Christopher Limbaugh ruled that the proposed Amendment 3 should be removed from the November ballot because it does not specify which specific anti-abortion laws it would repeal. (Advocates say that exact laws for repeal would be determined by future lawsuits.)

    Why does a constitutional amendment need to specify what laws it repeals? I don’t believe there is any legal merit to that. That would only ever apply to anything within the constitution itself (e.g. 21st US Constitutional Amendment). Any contradictory laws found after the ratification of an amendment would then be declared unconstitutional by the legislature or judicial system and removed that way.
