OPEN LETTER TO GEORGIA LEADERSHIP: It is unlawful for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to block the independent Georgia State Election Board from the Election Night Reporting Center (“secret bunker”). The General Assembly created the Board as a separate and distinct budget unit — “neither under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of State nor… a division of his office.” (O.C.G.A. § 21-2-30(g))The Board has a statutory duty to oversee elections, investigate irregularities, issue subpoenas, and go to court if needed (§§ 21-2-31, 21-2-32, 21-2-33). ALL election duties must be performed IN PUBLIC (§ 21-2-406). Federal law (52 U.S.C. § 21083a) even requires full access for designated congressional observers. Yet rumors are swirling that press passes have already been issued and people tied to Raffensperger’s own campaign for Governor have been invited into the "secret bunker" — while the independent State Election Board, which the Legislature created to provide oversight, is locked out. This is selective access that concentrates control in the hands of a candidate overseeing his own election. I am calling on GA leadership to demand full, immediate, unrestricted access for the State Election Board and congressional observers. Public confidence in Georgia’s elections is paramount. The law is clear as I have outlined it in this letter. @BrianKempGA @JonBurnsGA @burtjonesforga @ChrisCarr_Ga


Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for standing on the side of openness and transparency in our elections process. As a member of the Georgia State Election Board, I was shocked to be told that the final tabulation of Georgia Votes, is done behind closed doors, without transparency, independent observation and accountability. This year, even more critical, we have a candidate on the ballot for Governor who is overseeing his own election. This is not right. This is not transparency. Call the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, and demand transparency in our voting process. Allow observers into the Election Night Reporting Room to observe what’s going on. If there’s nothing to hide - you hide nothing.

Chairman @JoshMcKoon DEMANDS Reversal of Decision to Deny State Election Board Access to Reporting Room. Full statement ⬇️


I’ve gone to the same gym for almost 4 years now. Good friends with nearly everyone there. One day a guy who used to make small talk with me, just stopped. Didn’t think much of it, but it went on for weeks. Found out later he’s a liberal and someone showed him my X account and he just won’t talk to me now. This has happened many many many times since becoming publicly conservative. I’ve lost many friends and even many more acquaintances. They won’t even discuss us. Won’t even look at me. It’s bad for me… but it’s 10,000x worse for my wife. Liberal women are genuinely EVIL to conservative women. It’s on another level. Pure evil. No one talks about this enough but the public shaming of people who are openly conservative is extremely intense and unless you have a lot of mental fortitude and surround yourself with better people quickly… I can understand why many find it is not worth saying anything at all. But that doesn’t make it harder for those of us who speak up… because we are the few.

I’m very gratified to see so many folks referencing the Election Data Hub that I had built out when I was at @GaSecofState office. It is a big help in real time transparency. We are making constant improvements, now we have real time data by party. You can go to it here sos.ga.gov/page/election-…




















We are in trouble..


One year ago, I publicly came out in support of President Trump. I had absolutely no idea how severe the backlash would be. The Left tried to destroy everything good in my life. My job. My family. Our safety. We lost more friends than I ever could have imagined. Politics is so tribal, and it can be that way on BOTH the Left and Right. But something interesting I noticed... ...is that my Right-leaning friends were my friends even when I was liberal, and they stayed consistently my friends when I moved to the Right. My liberal friends, on the other hand, pretty much all abandoned us, except for a small few. There’s a specific kind of grief that comes from realizing people didn’t just disagree with you… ...they re-categorized you as "unsafe" Someone once told me that, in person. "We don't feel safe with you." Like you became a different species overnight. Like everything you’d ever done for them, every memory, every “I’ve got you!” suddenly didn’t count for anything at all.. The noise online is one thing, I've learned to tune almost all of the hate out. Even de*th threats rarely bother me now, as insane as that is. The hardest part... Watching my wife jump every time the camera notifications went off. Watching my kids live under a microscope they didn’t choose. Doing the math in my head about safety and work and whether I’d just completely destroyed the stability of our home because I spoke honestly. I didn’t feel brave. I felt sick, I felt like I did something wrong and was being punished for it. It still feels that way, a lot of the time... my wife and I are still shunned from many friend groups we once had. I think that's when I finally learned what "tribal" meant... a real willingness to punish, to exile, and make an example out of someone to "teach them a lesson." The funny thing is... my right-leaning friends didn’t “welcome me” when I changed, they just NEVER LEFT. We disagreed, for sure. But they never tried to take my livelihood, never tried to scare my family, and never tried to turn my kids into collateral damage. I think, especially in that way in particular, the Right does far, far better than the Left. There’s a difference between disagreement and dehumanization. There's a difference between: a) “I think you’re wrong” and b) “you’re dangerous, and your family deserves suffering.” That’s a social enforcement system, something I was inside of and didn't know I was in, until I broke out of it. There's a reason the Left does it... it works. …and that’s the irony, specifically on the Left A movement that prides itself on tolerance only applies it to people who already agree with them. And once you see that, you can’t unsee it. I think one year out... I'm still in a weird stage of grief. For the friendships we lost, the community we once had, the old way of life where we didn't have to think about safety very much at all, and where my kids didn't have to go through life inheriting the consequences of adults who they themselves couldn’t handle disagreement. But, even through all that... Life is better now than it was a year ago. We went to church for the first time ever, with our kids. We found a new community of friends. We got closer with the friends who stuck around. We got the chance to be wrong, and learn. We got room... to grow. Room to be imperfect. Room to disagree. Room to be wrong. It's not necessarily easier, but it has made life more clear, and I’d rather be condemned for my convictions than rewarded for my compliance. One year out... I do not regret supporting President Trump. I regret not supporting him sooner.





🚨U.S. Senator David Perdue's RICO Testimony Unsealed! Link to my article in post below. 🚨Senator Perdue testified in the Trump RICO special grand jury that Governor Brian Kemp shut down a "compelling" investigation into 2020 ballot harvesting. Then-Director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Vic Reynolds told Senator Perdue, "I'm a team player. If the Governor doesn't want to investigate, we're not going to investigate." "You said that although Mr. Reynolds had received evidence that he felt was compelling enough to open an investigation that he was not going to investigate because the governor had told him not to?" "That's one of the things he said, yeah." - Senator Perdue One month before the special grand jury testimony, Vic Reynolds was appointed a Superior Court Judge by........Governor Brian Kemp. And Reynolds wasn't the only person who ignored election fraud evidence or maladministration and got appointed to a Superior Court judgeship. He wasn't even the second one. Reynolds was presented with video evidence, cell phone data, bank records, and testimony of a ballot harvester. Reynolds claimed that the GBI made "repeated requests" to True The Vote for their witness. True The Vote denies this saying that THEY actually reached out to GBI after their one and only meeting and were ignored. From TTV's Catherine Engelbrecht: "After that meeting, we made repeated attempts to re-engage with the GBI and never received a response." Why did Brian Kemp order GBI not to investigate an alleged crime, with evidence, that would ultimately lead to a UNPRECEDENTED RICO case against a former President and HIS party's front-running candidate??
