SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

YOU MEAN SOME PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE THAT ELECTIONS CAN BE STOLEN?  DISGRACEFUL RADICAL RIGHTISTS! – OVERNIGHT – FROM EPOCH TIMES:   State officials in Georgia are now investigating allegations that ballot harvesting–a practice that is unlawful in the state—was used widely during the November 2020 general election and the U.S. Senate runoff elections that followed two months later.  The allegations originated from good-government group True the Vote, which promises to release other information on voting irregularities in five other states.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, confirmed to John Solomon of Just the News, that a probe is underway and that subpoenas from the state’s election board may soon follow as part of the evidence-gathering process.  True the Vote, which focuses on electoral integrity issues, acknowledged in a statement late on Jan. 5 that following “a year’s worth of research and analysis,” the group “submitted three official complaints to the Georgia Secretary of State’s office regarding occurrences in the 2020 General and 2021 Run-off Elections.”  As a result of this, on Jan. 3, 2022, Raffensperger “announced a statewide investigation into ballot trafficking in Georgia.”  True the Vote added that “shockingly similar findings will soon be released to appropriate authorities in five additional states.”  Raffensperger fought efforts by activists including Democratic Party attorney Marc Elias to overturn the state’s ballot harvesting ban. He also clashed with then-President Donald Trump and Republicans in 2020 when he dismissed claims that fraud was widespread in the election.  I'm glad to see this happening.  While I doubt that there is enough corruption out there to swing the 2020 presidential result, the probe can possibly reveal widespread practices that urgently need correcting.  Those practices would probably be found mostly in Democratic cities.
