After a tragic report about the state of danger for immigrants around the world, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow poked fun at some cities in Georgia.
A fake elector is coordinating Republican-leaning cities in Fulton County, north of Atlanta, to protest the county regulating their elections. The Democratic-run county uses electronic counting machines and voting machines, which the GOP leaders oppose. Instead, they intend to hand count everything that comes in on election night.
"So good times. That's ahead. Thanks, Georgia," said Maddow.
"They want to run them as they did in the horse and buggy days," said Maddow. "These towns want Fulton County to take their fancy newfangled voting machines and, you know, put them where the sun doesn't shine. These towns are saying they will hand count all their ballots. Thank you very much, with an abacus and a MyPillow. It will all be so much cheaper. How much could it cost to run an election and hand count thousands of ballots? This plan is, in part, the brainchild of one of Georgia's fake Republican electors, one of the folks who submitted forged documents claiming that Trump had won the state of Georgia in 2020 — one of the people who is now under investigation by Fulton County prosecutors."
She said earlier this month, when they tried the old way of counting, voters had half the polling places, and it took much longer.
Ironically, a 2022 investigation found that human error caused problems in one 2020 audit.
