Friend,
POLITICO: “Republicans Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue of Georgia called on the state’s GOP secretary of state to resign … citing ‘failures’ in the election process but not providing any specific evidence to support their claims.”
Both facing runoff elections, these GOP senators are so terrified of losing their seats -- and being responsible for their party’s loss of the Senate -- that they’re now turning on one of their own.
And they SHOULD be scared: Millions of Georgians already cast their ballots against these two on November 3 thanks to years of grassroots organizing from Stacey Abrams and others in Georgia. And both Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are formidable, progressive candidates who will turn those same voters out and then some on Tuesday. And once they win, Mitch McConnell will no longer have majority control of the Senate, ending his ability to unilaterally kill progressive bills.
But this desperation must also serve as a warning. The GOP in Georgia is notorious for their dirty voter suppression tricks -- frequently ranking worst in the nation -- and now that those measures have failed, they’re resorting to disposing of one Republican in favor of another who would wield their power as Georgia’s Secretary of State to hand them victory.
We cannot allow this. Permitting Sen. Loeffler and Sen. Perdue to fire someone who isn’t willing to do their evil doings wouldn’t just be disastrous for our democracy -- it would all but ensure that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democratic House will be blocked from passing any kind of meaningful legislation.
