The elections board ladies doth protest too much, methinks

The now two-day Georgia Elections Board September hearing - stretching from Friday to today - has been a drama-filled doozie - and I've plenty of audio to share with you, so get your popcorn and settle in for a wild ride.

Remember when this board as a boring, "mostly-ministerial acts" sort of body? Ahh, good times. Instead, now, our state's board wants to further gum up Election Day/night certification by having humans hand-count paper ballots - by the thousands and reams of pages of paper. That the governor, Secretary of State and attorney general of the state - all Republicans themselves - pan this and other 11th-hour rules changes the board has enacted - means nothing to these MAGA pies.

You simply hav to listen as Dr. Janice Johnston and Janelle King - two of the "MAGA three" on the board - howl with righteous indignation at being called out for being and doing precisely what they are and have done, though. They 'doth protest too much, methinks.

OH, and bless Sarah G. Tindall - the lone Democrat on the board - for appearing to be the lone member of the board aware of what it is and isn't capable of doing within the restraints of state law.
