The law strips Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger of his role as chief elections officer.

Georgia Republican election official Gabriel Sterling told CNN on Saturday that the state’s new restrictive voting law was also motivated by revenge against an official who defied Donald Trump over his false claims of election fraud.

The hugely controversial law signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp on Thursday creates stricter voter identification requirements for absentee balloting, limits drop boxes for ballots, imposes shorter early voting hours and makes it a crime to offer food or water to voters waiting in line at the polls.

President Joe Biden called the law an “atrocity” and “Jim Crow in the 21st Century.”

The law also strips Georgia’s secretary of state of his role as chief elections officer.

1. This is ALL because of QRUMP. I feel that Kemp, and ALL his cronies

PHONE messages need to be investigated for communications with the QRUMP people. INCLUDING the 174 House members plus the Senate QTHUGS as well! THIS goes a lot deeper than it looks like. WOW if we knew what they were talking about, they could ALL be put away!
