Doug Tennapel: Georgia U.S. Senator under investigation

 

[VIDEO] What's this they're saying about my Morehouse brother US Senator Raphael Warnock. Just so that you just see the information that Tennapel is offering.

The Georgia State Election Board voted unanimously Wednesday to move forward with an investigation of U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) for his role serving as board chairman of a voter registration organization founded by Stacey Abrams that election officials say failed to follow deadlines, in what appears to be the latest legal step in the ongoing feud between the progressive Abrams and the state’s Republican election officials.
  • Warnock served as chairman of the board for the New Georgia Project in 2019, which is when election officials claim misconduct took place.
  • Under Georgia election rules, voting registration organizations like the New Georgia Project have to submit completed voter applications within ten days after they are received from the voter.
  • But officials allege that during a 2019 registration effort, some 1,268 applications were submitted to the Gwinnett County elections office after the ten-day deadline.
  • The Board voted 3-0 to refer the investigation to Georgia’s Republican Attorney General Chris Carr, with the board’s lone Democrat joining Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in abstaining from the vote.

It was also reported recently that Fulton County, Georgia prosecutors will investigate former President Trump and his phone call to their Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger which had a lot of play in the media back just last month as there were recordings. I'm going to predict - perhaps Im going on a limb here - that this will become a nothing burger.

Big win for Trump? We'll have to see...

OH and BTW, I forgot to add Sen. Warnock will be up for re-election in two years since he wasn't elected for a full six-year term. So I suppose in an attempt by Republicans to retake the U.S. Senate he may well be the very first target. Perhaps Georgia's elections officials will have gotten their act together by then.
