A lot of talk on right wing boards that

Georgia SoS Raffensperger is planning to switch parties in a few weeks.

I take everything I read in those places with a big grain of salt. I can't find the source of it anywhere. Has anyone seen this being talked about anywhere? Usually I can find where the information comes from, even when it's false.

3. I don't really think it'll happen

but I like to keep track of the conspiracy theories they throw around and where they are originating from.

Then again, a lot of republicans are threatening to jail/murder him, so maybe he doesn't feel very welcome anymore.

4. I'm not that interested in if he will or not

That's fairly inconsequential and will answer itself in a couple weeks. I'm more interested in the origins and who's putting it out there.

6. Absolute nonsense. It's their way of rationalizing his actions.

He acted in a way that didn't benefit them, so he must be a secret turncoat.

12. Ahhhhh there it is

thanks.

Like I said in other posts, I didn't buy this as being true but wanted to find the "source."

It seems that this show Bannon has is becoming a main source of conspiracy theories on the right.

I can see that happening but still can't see him becoming a registered Democrat.

11. I doubt it. He's a pretty conservative guy.

It's a real shame that "conservative" isn't enough for Republicans anymore. It's either go full-fascist or GTFO.

14. Given he still endorses Loeffler and Perdue --despite their calling for his head, I doubt it.

Sounds like RW brainwashing remains, even if he still has some commitment to democracy.
