Blue counties in and around Atlanta, Georgia, are apparently engaging in some election shenanigans this weekend that may run afoul of state law, prompting the RNC to file yet another election integrity lawsuit.

According to a Saturday morning X post from RNC chairman Michael Whatley, Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, and Gwinnett Counties will permit voters to drop off absentee ballots at designated polling locations this weekend. Whatley added that extending hours for ballot drop-offs "disregards the law."

The Secretary of State has issued guidance to allow Republican poll watchers in but local officials REFUSE.'

Indeed, Georgia Code § 21-2-385, passed during the 2023-2024 legislative session, says that early voting in Georgia will begin "on the fourth Monday immediately prior to each primary or election" and "end on the Friday immediately prior to each primary, election, or runoff" (emphasis added).

In 2024, that end point should have been November 1.

Furthermore, Ga. Code § 21-2-382 adds that "all drop boxes shall be closed when the advance voting period ends."

Nevertheless, a report from local PBS and NPR affiliate WABE confirmed that "metro Atlanta residents who live in Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb or Gwinnett counties can drop off their absentee ballots over the weekend and on Monday, Nov. 4, the day before Election Day, at their local election offices."

What's worse, there initially may not have been official oversight of some of these drop-off locations. A photo of an email apparently written by Kathryn Glenn, the registration manager of the Department of Registration & Elections in Fulton County, and apparently sent to dozens of office employees indicates that no poll watchers had been authorized.

"FYI - There are NO WATCHERS approved for ballot drop off! Do not let them in the building," Glenn wrote, according to the photo.

"If they want to observe from the parking lot, you can't stop that," her email apparently continued, "but they are not allowed to sit in the building. Have your security detail enforce it!!!"

As a result, the RNC has already filed a lawsuit, Whatley claimed. As of Saturday afternoon, it remains "pending," he said.

Josh McKoon, the leader of the Georgia Republican Party and a former state senator, called these latest moves from Democrat-area election officials a "blatant violation" of Georgian election law.

"We all know what is going on — Democrats are panicked by the incredible Republican turnout in early voting and will do anything to try to catch up even if it means doing it under the cover of darkness and stiff arming any independent observation of whatever the hell is going on in their four 'special voting locations' open today with no notice or approval by anyone authorized to oversee elections administration," McKoon tweeted on Saturday morning.

McKoon tweeted Saturday afternoon that poll watchers had finally been permitted on the premises.

"Fulton County and other counties are now allowing our poll watchers to observe the voting activity occurring" on Saturday, he wrote.

He attributed the change to a pressure campaign from Republican leaders at the state and national levels.

The Regime has spent years trying to destroy Donald Trump; expect it to get far worse should he win the election.

Key takeaways
The effort to stop Trump has involved a coordinated campaign by federal bureaucracies, legacy media, and aligned institutions (collectively "the Regime") that began with promoting him as an unelectable candidate in 2016 and evolved into increasingly desperate attempts to prevent his return to power.
The Regime's tactics evolved from traditional opposition (negative coverage, opposition research) to unprecedented measures including attempting to overturn election results, weaponizing law enforcement, supporting ballot disqualification efforts, and tolerating political violence.
Media manipulation has been central to the campaign, with legacy outlets consistently distorting facts, suppressing unfavorable stories like the Hunter Biden laptop, and abandoning journalistic principles when those principles conflict with anti-Trump objectives.
The Regime's commitment to democratic principles is selective, condemning "election denial" while attempting to remove Trump from ballots, defending "norms" while proposing radical institutional changes, and championing "democracy" while supporting undemocratic methods to achieve its goals.
Recent events, including Biden's replacement with Harris and increasingly extreme rhetoric comparing Trump to Hitler, suggest the Regime will likely respond to a 2024 Trump victory by abandoning any pretense of accepting democratic outcomes — the very behavior they've spent years condemning.

Presto! With the wave of the media's collective hand, Kamala was never the border czar. And anyone who made reference to that fact would be discredited, usually via more 'fact-checking.'
