Garland Favorito has been a Constitution Party official who is a key player in the election fraud investigations and legal proceedings that have taken place in the state of Georgia. Favorito and Bannon discuss the anemic state of the Republican Party in the south– and specifically in North Carolina and Georgia. Bannon discusses the lackluster Whatley campaign thus far.
The situation is Georgia is important– not only because Trump “lost” the election there during 2020, but also because election fraud there resulted in the election of two socialist United States Senators– Ossoff and Warnock. Jon Ossoff is now being discussed as a presidential candidate for the socialists, but I am not sure they will allow him to be nominated because he is Jewish.
In any event, this is a good discussion. Favorito is calling upon Trump to make a national security declaration on the basis of foreign interference in our elections by China:
There is no doubt that Favorito and VoterGA champions are doing good work toward cleaning up election integrity in my home state of Georgia.
Politics sometimes gets crazy in Georgia.
For instance when I was in the 6th grade ( 1946 ) in Atlanta, the situation turned unreal.
The “Three Governors Controversy” was a chaotic political dispute in Georgia. It began when Governor-elect Eugene Talmadge died in December 1946, before taking office. Three men claimed the governorship: the outgoing governor Ellis Arnall, Lieutenant Governor-elect Melvin E. Thompson, and Eugene’s son, Herman Talmadge, who was controversially elected by the legislature. Tensions reached a fever pitch on the night of January 15, 1947, and the following weeks. The State Capitol was packed with legislators and rival supporters. Rumors and reports swirled of firearms and “knockout drops” as the two factions literally fought for control of the building. Ultimately, this climaxed when Herman Talmadge had state troopers remove Ellis Arnall, and Talmadge supporters ordered the locks changed on the executive offices. The armed, hostile standoff led to the following events: The “Machine Gun” Detail: The “machine guns” historically referenced during this fight belong to the Thompson submachine guns and carbines issued to state officials and state defense guards during the tense standoff at the Capitol. The Court Resolution:
The crisis ended on March 19, 1947, when the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that Melvin E. Thompson was the rightful acting governor. The Aftermath: Herman Talmadge peacefully yielded the office to Thompson, but returned to defeat him in a special election in 1948.
Wow, Fred, I had not heard of that situation before. Quite a story!
I have had my doubts about Governor Kemp in Georgia and the Republican leadership in the state legislature. It seems they have dropped the ball at every opportunity with regard to election integrity.
