Explore the escalating tensions within the Georgia Republican Party led by Josh McKoon. With GOP nominees Jason Frazier and Julie Adams, known for election skepticism, rejected by Fulton County’s Democrat-led commission, a lawsuit challenges the county’s authority to deny party nominations. This battle over election integrity, rooted in a 2024 law change ending probate judge oversight, highlights deep divisions and accusations of voter suppression tactics. Discover why these county election boards are at the heart of Georgia’s political firestorm
- Power mad: why a far right Georgia gop faction is splintering. Josh has done all he could to put people in different groups. There is zero effort to unify.
- We knew they would do all they could to steal the election in 2020. It is very important especially in Fulton and DeKalb county that our elections are handled by the counties. Now in Georgia each county has an election board. When they wrote the law ending the probate judge no longer running the elections in the 15 counties, the commissioners could deny the party nominations for the election board. The argument will come up that we cannot have different laws governing the elections in the counties.
- Josh McKoon brags about the election integrity challenges that have been met. One thing that we have not done in the last two years is secure our county board of elections… meaning 2 republicans, 2 democrats and a member appointed by the commissioner. This will be challenged by Fulton, DeKalb and Cobb counties. We know that the Fulton County republican party put up 2 nominees. Fulton county has a 5 member board. The republican party pushed for election skeptics to oversee Atlanta area voting, that would be Jason Frasier and Julie Adams. Julie chose not to certify an election, that started a firestorm and created a rule that went to court. Jason has challenged voting in Fulton county. The democrat controlled Fulton County commission in May voting along party lines to reject the GOP s nominees. That led the GA republican party to sue earlier this month contending the commission is required to accept the party’s choices. We will see if the court will back up and get these two on the board. It will be a tall order because of the new law that was changed on probate judges. We should have been fighting the issue then.
