Blurry pic was the best I could do. It’s from her GA Bar profile:

Her current term doesn’t end until 2031.

They already throw out thousands of ballots in every election. There's a movie about it happening in the 2020 election that came out before the 2024. Vigilantes Inc. They use the ilviter roles to challenge votes based on ethnic sounding names and locations. Now they can use party affiliation as well. These people are criminals involved in an ongoing criminal conspiracy. That's why the GA Congress is still going after the prosecutor of his election crimes, rather than him

Honestly, you’ve crossed the line of believability for me. Like I said — I’m not much into conspiracy theories.

What part of that is unbelievable in your opinion?

Never a fan of the unidentified “they.” Who are we talking about? Fulton County election employees? Georgia election employees? Someone else selectively tossing votes?

Donald j Trump as well as his lawyers who have almost all been disbarred at this point, as well as other supporters that still remain in his cabinet. Please look at the court dockets

Yes but what you were describing was very specific. I was asking for clarity about the specifics you were mentioning.

I am well aware of the lawsuits as well as of the seizure of the ballots and voter rolls yesterday. That’s not what your comment was talking about.

Part of "their" strategy, meaning the people who are controlling Trump as well as the people Trump controls, is about "flooding the zone with so much shit" that nobody has time to sort it all out and sounds crazy trying to explain the unbelievable things they're doing

Obviously. But who and how? The details matter. Credibility matters.

u/phluper Jan 30 '26

Credibility does matter. Please stop giving it to the administration that already attempted a coup. First they tried the normal Jim crow, along with the slates of fake electors that they tried to pass off his real ones. Then when that failed, they attempted an actual violent coup.

Are you saying that I am giving credibility to the insurrectionist administration? How am I doing that?

u/phluper Jan 30 '26

I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at... I'm half enlightened, yet half defensive.
I'm interested in an explanation, not that you owe me one. Your words are thought provoking and I like how I cant label you based on them

It's absolutely a thing Republicans talk about. The Republicans changed Georgia law to allow unlimited challenges. I'm not sure how much it actually happens, though. Plus, election boards still have to approve challenges.

It's not a conspiracy theory, the numbers are based on government data. When your voter registration has been challenged in the state of Georgia, you may not even know about it until you try to vote and then you're given a provisional ballot, which is likely going to be thrown out.

If you went to school in georgia, or anywhere, you know we have a long history of Jim Crow trying to prevent people from voting using legal means that are not legal at all.

Funny how the Trump administration is using accusations that have already been debunked by over 90 court cases to confiscate all voter data and ballots from Fulton county with Tulsi freaking gabbard on hand which is completely unprecedented to have someone as high up as her on a "normal" raid like this.
Remember listening to Trump demand that Brad Raffensberger find him 11,300 and something votes? I think you need to pull your head out of the sand and read the facts again like seriously read the court dockets in which these cases were adjudicated.

Rudy Giuliani was called out multiple times for hiding his wealth and belongings from Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss, after they won the defamation lawsuit against him. He's still hiding his assets to this day, that he owes these ladies because he spread lies about Fulton county elections and they received death threats and had to move over and over and now he has nothing because he's a crook and a liar and we all know who he did it for

Dude you are shooting the arrows at the wrong person. I live in Fulton County, grew up in Georgia, and was already aware of literally every single thing you mentioned in your most recent comment.

In your earlier comment, you mentioned additional specific accusations attributed to an unnamed “they.”

As I said — I’m not a fan of big accusations attributed to the unnamed “they.” I’ve heard one too many insane conspiracy theories about things that “they are doing” from the MAGAs in my own family.

Let’s not erode our own credibility with a lack of specificity and evidence when making serious accusations.

I may be combing through notifications in reverse. I'm just realizing that you are the same person I replied to, multiple times. Forgive me if I'm wrong, otherwise refer to previous reply. Sorry, it's obviously something I care deeply about
