Georgia 3-0 Election Conspiracy Theorists

By Charles C. W. Cooke

year ago, I wrote about the State of Georgia, which had “become a cynosure for fabulists of all stripes.” Three times in three years, I noted, Georgia’s electoral system had been perniciously lied about. First, by Stacey Abrams in 2018. Then by Donald Trump in 2020. And, finally, by pretty much the entire Democratic Party, which cast the modest reforms that the state made in 2021 as “not just like Jim Crow, but worse.”

 

Today, I can note the good news that, ultimately, all three of these attempts have failed. Stacey Abrams lost in 2018. Donald Trump’s revenge tour against Governor Kemp and Secretary of State Raffensperger has ended in embarrassing defeat, with Kemp beating Trump’s challenger by fifty points and Raffensperger winning his primary outright. And the many lies that the Democrats have told about Georgia have been so badly exposed that the Washington Post, which spread many of them in the first instance, has been forced to publicly concede that “record-breaking turnout is undercutting predictions that the Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021 would lead to a falloff in voting”

 

You love to see it.
