Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Monday warned state lawmakers that they cannot appoint pro-Trump presidential electors.

Kemp said while speaking at the Biennial Institute for Georgia Legislators that legislators appointing their own electors was “not an option.”

Why would Kemp, as do so very many others, want to harm their country, destroy their Constitution and hurt fellow citizens enough to deny reality and lie, lie, lie about their motivations for doing so? It is truly beyond belief!

There’s something terribly wrong with this man. You have to wonder if he’s being bribed or blackmailed.

Privately Georgia State Patrol think the Harrison Deal “accident” was quite possibly a bomb.

They can appoint the electors and then file articles of impeachment against Kemp and all of his goons.

in a cursory search

it appears their electors are chosen before the election
the person who wins the election gets that batch of electors

georgia does not have a faithless elector law. they can vote for whomever they want

when I looked at CA I think they could put you in prison if you vote the way you want.

states have different requirements

Scotus decided an electors case this year

They can try but it’s highly unlikely their second slate of electors would survive the legal challenges. Especially absent a court order invalidating the election results.”

The Constitution gives the Legislature plenary authority in elections.

Governor Kemp is utterly incompetent in every regard.

Maybe Chyna told him his car is next if he doesn’t get the results they demand.

A lot is coming out. I grabbed a couple of tweets from @codemonkeyz twitter account:

April 29, 2019:
Kemp invited then Consul General Li Qiangmin of the Houston Chinese Consulate (alleged Chinese spy center) to a reception hosted by Kemp in Atlanta.

What did they discuss at that reception?

http://web.archive.org/web/20191211124110/http://houston.china-consulate.org/chn/zlgxw/t1660371.htm

What did Kemp talk about with former Houston Consul General, accused of espionage, Cai Wei at their “private meeting” in early 2020?

They met again several months later in 3 Feb 2020, Cai Wei was invited by Lt Duncan to speak at the state senate hall. While Cai greatly promoted the CCP’s success on combating covid 10, Mr. Duncan announced the day was Georgia’s China Day.

In 2020, the Georgia Department of Economic Development published a “Business Incentives Chinese” (check url) document on their official website.

The document proudly displays the Chinese GeorgiaBusiness.cn domain on it.

A video on the website showing Kemp making his pitch standing in front of a communist China flag https://www.georgiabusiness.cn/

The Georgia Department of Economic Development lists georgiabusiness.cn as their official domain name.
The georgiabusiness.cn domain name is registered to “Li Dan” with a private email address based out of Beijing hosted on Chinese name servers.

Whois Li Dan

menhoo.com is registered to an unlisted person in Beijing via the Alibaba Group’s Aliyun registrar.

Why is the Georgia Department of Economic Development collaborating with Beijing?

Kemp works closely with Colton Moore

How much do you want to bet that when Gov. Gump does not get his way, that he will force face masks on all Georgians?

Now that is what I mean. Some politician tell me I can’t do something as a member of the Legislature, them there are fighting words.

If nothing else, the publicity for his next election would be fantastic.

I fought the Governor!!! Vote for me because I stand up to the evil COVID tyrants.

.@GovKemp misstates the law. You might want to read the Constitution, Governor.

Thankfully for Georgia, the state legislature doesn’t need him — he has no authority under Article II and cannot prevent them from exercising their constitutional power
