Dysfunctional German Coalition Has Put Forward THREE Different Plans to Reboot Ailing Economy – Unpopular Chancellor Scholz Trying To Keep Government From Imploding By Paul Serran
Nov. 3, 2024 6:40 pm – If you have a three-party coalition and one economic plan, you have at least the semblance of a working government.
But if you have a three-way coalition and THREE economic plans, what you have is Germany.
‘The sick man of Europe’ is on an economic slope since it abdicated from cheap Russian oil and began relying on much more expensive alternatives.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz leads an ideologically disparate coalition that can never agree on policy measures to ‘drive growth, protect industrial jobs, and reinforce Germany’s position as a global industrial hub.’
Because his government now has three plans, Scholz needs to meet the other two leaders, Green’s Robert Habeck and FDP Christian Linders.
Will he arrive at a compromise between the contradictory plans?
Reuters reported:
“A document leaked by Christian Lindner’s finance ministry in Berlin last week laid out a plan for tax cuts and fiscal discipline that political analysts interpreted as a challenge to the multibillion-euro investment program put forward by Economy Minister Robert Habeck days earlier.”
The enormous differences of economic and industrial policies have given birth to speculation about the coalition’s collapse.
“A government source told Reuters that Scholz and the ministers would hold several meetings in the coming days, saying that ‘now that everyone has submitted their paper, we have to see how they fit with each other’.”
That’s obviously easier said than done. The proposals are too different.
“Fiscal hawk Lindner has proposed scrapping the funds from the budget, while Habeck has said they could be reallocated.
[…] While Habeck wants the creation of a fund to stimulate investment and to get around Germany’s strict fiscal spending rules, Lindner advocates tax cuts to spur the economy and an immediate halt on all new regulation.”
As Greens and FDP bicker, Scholz’s SPD party is also distant from Lindner proposals.
“Opposition parties, including the conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) and the far-right Alternative for Germany, called for early elections on Sunday, with conservative parliamentary group manager Thorsten Frei telling newspaper Welt that this ‘would be the last service [the government] could render to our country’.”
If one of the parties exits the coalition, a parliamentary confidence vote takes place, after which the president can trigger elections.

Biden-Harris, Pfizer & Moderna SUED for Depopulation Crimes – Media Blackout THE VIGILANT FOX
Introducing the top 10 stories they chose not to tell you this week.
NOV 03, 2024
#10 – Biden, Harris, Pfizer, and Moderna smacked with MASSIVE lawsuit for anti-human crimes.
The lawsuit, which has been filed in the Southern District of Texas, demands an end to:
• The COVID-19 injections.
• The “poisoning of our skies” that people refer to as chemtrails.
• And other toxic practices deemed harmful to human beings. [Emphasis added]
Shelby Hosana, one of the multiple plaintiffs in the lawsuit, calls this “a whole lot of evil put into one hefty lawsuit.”
She explained that “every single thing in the lawsuit was based on a constitutional statute,” emphasizing their focus on constitutional violations that will be tough for the court to dismiss.
Going further, Hosana added, “If enough people… join this lawsuit as a plaintiff, we can actually turn it into class action status,” meaning the lawsuit could represent a larger group of individuals, creating a collective force that the court cannot easily ignore.
“So we can overwhelm the Texas district court, and they’ll have no choice but to turn it into a class action.”

Republican Lawmakers Sound Alarm as U.S. Military Bases Report Depleted Stock of Write-In Absentee Ballots — Troops Overseas Left Without Voting Options Due to Delayed Mail-In Ballots By Jim Hᴏft
Nov. 3, 2024 2:20 pm – In a call to action, Republican Representatives Brian Mast (FL-R), Bill Huizenga (MI-R), and Michael Waltz (FL-R) expressed outrage over the Pentagon’s handling of voting procedures for overseas service members.
The lawmakers contend that the Department of Defense has failed to ensure the availability of write-in absentee ballots for troops stationed abroad.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have mobilized federal manpower, resources, and tax dollars to block state-level election integrity measures, including in Georgia and Virginia, through lawsuits and smears,” Rep. Mast said in a statement on Friday.
“They claim to care about democracy and the right to vote, yet they’ve failed to plan accordingly to facilitate the right to vote for every single one of our nation’s brave men and women in uniform. This is absolutely unacceptable. Our nation’s elite warriors deserve to have every opportunity to vote for the next commander-in-chief, especially since that person will be making life-and-death decisions for our troops,” he added.
Rep. Waltz echoed these concerns, stating, “Both Joe Biden & Kamala Harris have dismissed our warfighters serving in combat zones by either falsely claiming the U.S. has suffered no casualties under this administration or by claiming thousands of these service members aren’t in active combat zones. We need assurances these service members who are putting their lives on the line for our country have the information and tools they need to cast their ballot to vote.”
Rep. Huizenga added, “It is completely unacceptable that our men and women serving overseas are not receiving the proper information and resources necessary to cast their ballot. Sadly, this is the latest example of the Biden-Harris Administration failing to stand up for our service members.”
Rep. Paulina Luna weighed in and stated, “Our military puts EVERYTHING on the line for us, but their right to vote is being ignored. Secretary of Defense Lloyd, why are federal write-in ballots not reaching our troops overseas? This is unacceptable. We demand answers and action NOW to ensure they can vote. No more excuses.”
Islamist Shooter In Chicago Who Shot Jewish Man on Way to Synagogue Alleged to Be Illegal Muslim Immigrant By Seth Segal
Nov. 3, 2024 4:45 pm – As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, an Orthodox Jewish man was shot and injured by a man screaming “Allahu Akbar” in Chicago.
The man was left critically injured in the shooting.
The West Rogers Park neighborhood where the incident occurred is heavily Orthodox Jew.
Initially, authorities were quiet on the shooter’s immigration status as well as his motive.
Now according to The Geller Report, the shooter was allegedly in America illegally from the African nation of Mauritania.
In addition, according to the report, the suspect was caught and released in the San Diego, CA sector.
More blood on Kamala Harris’s hands.
“Police say 22-year-old Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi walked up to the Orthodox Jew, who was wearing traditional Jewish clothing, and shot him multiple times without saying a word. He then got into a shootout with responding officers, and he was shot himself. He is now charged with 14 felonies.”
Per The Geller Report, “The Mauritian economic migrants usually apply for asylum while citing internal power struggles in their home country. That application keeps them in the United States for several years, allowing them to earn money and summon more friends and relatives from their Islamic homeland.”
This illustrates yet again that open borders and the policies of Biden-Harris have real-world consequences for Americans of every background in every part of the country.
Every community is now a border town thanks to Biden-Harris.
Republican Georgia State Senator Who Descended on Fulton County to Monitor Ballot Counting Says It’s Worse Than Previously Reported By Cristina Laila
Nov. 3, 2024 1:15 pm – As reported earlier, the RNC filed a lawsuit on Saturday after four Georgia counties extended their election office hours and decided to accept absentee ballots over the weekend in violation of state law.
Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties initially refused to allow Republican poll watchers in to observe the process, according to the Republican National Committee.
“This is a blatant violation of Georgia law . . . which states ‘all drop boxes shall be closed when the advance voting period ends,’” the Georgia Republican Party said in a statement on Friday. “To make matters worse, the four election office locations are situated in areas of the county that will clearly favor Democrat candidates.”
Fulton County did not inform the Secretary of State’s office they would be counting ballots all weekend.
According to Georgia state senator Greg Dolezal, the Secretary of State’s office sent investigators to all four counties.
“I am in communication with the Secretary of State’s office and my Senate colleagues about this. The Secretary has sent investigators to all four locations and the outside monitoring teams (which were assigned specifically to observe Fulton for prior issues) are also deploying people to each location. Fulton County did not inform the SoS office they would be doing this. I will continue to monitor this situation with my colleagues,” Greg Dolezal said.
At least 3 GOP Georgia state senators descended on Fulton County on Saturday to monitor the situation.
After putting pressure on Fulton County officials, all four counties eventually allowed poll watchers to observe the counting.
But it is way worse than previously reported according to state senator Brandon Beach.
Brandon Beach is one of the state senators who raced over to the Fulton County Government Services Center on Saturday and he said that not only was the Secretary of State not informed of the weekend ballot counting, but the Fulton County Board of Elections also had NO KNOWLEDGE of the last minute decision to open 4 locations to accept absentee ballots!
Brandon Beach said he will be filing an Open Records request to get answers.
“The Fulton County Board of Elections had no knowledge of the last minute decision to open 4 locations to accept absentee ballots this weekend. This was not discussed at their special called meeting last Wednesday (10/30). Who made this decision and who decided to tell security to keep monitors/poll observers outside ? I will be filing an Open Records Request to get answers. Election Integrity Matters !!” he said.
Senator Beach delivered a message from the Fulton County Government Services Center.
The pet was popular online until someone complained to the state.

NOVEMBER 02, 2024 BLAZE NEWS – squirrel, a pet and online star, at the hands of the New York state government. Even Elon Musk, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, condemned the killing.
The pet squirrel was euthanized by the Department of Environmental Conservation after anonymous complaints were lodged against the owner Mark Longo. Another pet belonging to Longo, Fred the raccoon, was also euthanized.
The pet was popular online until someone complained to the state.
Social media was lit afire with outrage on Saturday over the death of Peanut the squirrel, a pet and online star, at the hands of the New York state government. Even Elon Musk, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, condemned the killing.
The pet squirrel was euthanized by the Department of Environmental Conservation after anonymous complaints were lodged against the owner Mark Longo. Another pet belonging to Longo, Fred the raccoon, was also euthanized.
Longo said he had rescued Peanut after seeing the squirrel’s mother get run over by a vehicle.
The squirrel was known as “P’nut” on various social media accounts until his untimely death at the age of seven by order of the state.
“RIP MY BEST FRIEND. Thank you for the best 7 years of my life. Thank you for bringing so much joy to us and the world. I’m sorry I failed you but thank you for everything,” wrote owner Mark Longo in a post announcing his death.
Longo said the squirrel was very friendly and docile, but state officials claimed the squirrel bit an officer while they tried to confiscate him. That provided the pretense for his state execution.
“Well internet, you WON,” Longo wrote after the animals were seized. “You took one of the most amazing animals away from me because of your selfishness.”
The incident enflamed critics of state tyranny online, where many memes were cast.
“Government overreach kidnapped an orphan squirrel and executed him,” Musk wrote.
“I want a government small enough to have neither the time nor the resources to conduct a 5 hour raid over a pet squirrel,” read another popular response.
“Petty bureaucrats can, at a whim, terrorize people. Nobody was being hurt, good things were being done, but some petty rule was broken. They mobilized goons and destroyed something good,” read another tweet.
“Euthanizing someone’s indoor pet squirrel under the guise of a rabies concern when New York is infested with rats is a perfect allegory for how the government functions writ large – DRAIN THE SWAMP,” said another critic.
A humorous statement about Peanut’s demise that appeared to come from the Trump-Vance campaign quickly caught fire on social media as well, but the statement turned out to be fake.
Longo said he had rescued Peanut after seeing the squirrel’s mother get run over by a vehicle.
As Peanut and Fred the raccoon were both beloved pets, their deaths also called to mind other politically charged animal memes that went viral after the presidential debate in September. During that debate, Trump famously accused Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, of stealing family pets and eating them.
“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating … the pets of the people that live there. And this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame,” he said.
Savvy content creators then used those remarks to generate endearing AI images and catchy songs that sent social media users into a craze.

Photo of Political Prisoner Tina Peters in Orange Jumpsuit Released-This is What the Biden-Harris Regime is Doing to a Gold Star Mother By Margaret Flavin
Nov. 2, 2024 7:20 pm – In yet another blatant display of political persecution, former Mesa County, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters, 68—a gold star mother—was sentenced to 9 years in prison in early October.
In August, Peters was found guilty on seven of ten charges for preserving critical election data.
After bravely raising questions about election irregularities, Peters was relentlessly pursued by local and federal authorities, culminating in charges that were politically motivated from the outset.
Peters’ crime? Exposing the truth about what happened in the 2020 election.
As a last act before entering prison as the result of a political prosecution, Peters publicly released the Mesa County Colorado Voting System Forensic Examination and Analysis reports.
Tina asked her supporters to view her investigative reports on election integrity in Mesa County, Colorado. The reports 1-3 are found at tinapeters.us.
Tina Peters, a widow, and Gold Star Mother has never violated any laws. She is 69 years old and will be 78 when the state releases her from prison.
Tina shared a photo in her prison orange to X.
The two-tiered nature of the politically motivated Biden-Harris DOJ can be seen in the stark difference between how Tina Peters has been treated in contrast to how the serious breach of election security by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office has been addressed.
Griswold’s office left voting system passwords publicly accessible on the state’s website for several months.
Despite discovering the exposure on October 24, Griswold’s team only began to change the leaked passwords after the Colorado GOP brought the issue to light.
“We Can’t Afford Anything as Working Class and Middle Class People” – BREAKING: Somali American Leaders in Minnesota Endorse President Trump – Slam Democrats By Jim Hoft
Nov. 2, 2024 3:30 pm – Somali leaders in Minnesota endorsed Donald J. Trump for US President in a press conference on Saturday in St. Paul.
The leaders stated during the press conference, “We can’t afford anything as working class and middle class people!”
There are an estimated 86,000 Somalis in Minnesota today, the largest Somali population in the country. The group is known to be politically active and in the past tended to vote Democrat.
This follows news last week that Muslim leaders in Michigan also endorsed President Donald Trump.
From the video.
The reason why is because he’s a fighter. That’s it. We like fighters. More importantly, the left left us. They left us.
33% of our kids at third grade cannot read at grade level. We went from the sixth to what? 19th now. Minnesota education? I mean, we’re failing in every standard. Eighth graders, 60% cannot do math at grade level. These are our kids.
We’re talking about economic conditions here. Our conditions is horrible. We can’t afford anything as working class and middle class people. Now, please understand this. We love our brothers and sisters who are Democrats, but you left us. And because the left left us, join the right, vote for Trump 2024, vote for Joe Teirab 2024, vote for Macy Young in Saint Paul 2024, vote for Tad Jude in CD3 2024, vote for Tom Emma, our lion, out of Saint Cloud. Farhan is here, and he’s endorsing him.
And please go out and vote because voting for Trump without soldiers is giving him a failure. So please vote. Again, for the school boards, we have a ton of people running who are in the school board from all over the state. And please go vote for the Republican Party this time.
Here is the full video from today’s press conference. [50:13]
Washington Businesses Boarding Up in Preparation for After-Election Violence By WND
Nov. 2, 2024 10:15 am WND – When the numbers came in from the 2020 election and gave the White House to Joe Biden, there was an “insurrection,” according to Democrats, in Washington.
It actually was a protest by a few thousand people who distrusted the handling of the election results and frankly doubted their accuracy. There were a few hundred who rioted, inflicting vandalism on Capitol.
Democrats have claimed ever since, in the media, in the public and in court, it was an attempt to overthrow the government, take over its economy, its military, its foreign relations and much, much more.
The election this year appears to be a close race between President Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, and Democrats, including some in Congress, have been saying for years now that they will not allow Trump back into office.
Their plans haven’t been specific but they have been adamant about the goal.
So what is the expectation, in that Washington businesses already are boarding up their windows in advance of next weeks’ vote?
WATCH [8:43]
Commentator Mike Benz has explained, “If Trump wins the electoral college next week, get ready for 2 months of street riots, a media onslaught the vote was illegitimate, crisis gov’t pressure on social platforms, followed at the end by an attempt by Congress to nullify the election on January 6, 2025.”
Pollsters say the race is too close to call definitively, while gamblers and Wall Street appear to be expecting a Trump victory.
It’s true that a majority of Americans are outraged that the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris regime has left the southern border wide open for millions of illegal aliens to arrive, and to allow inflation pushing past 20% since they took office.
But the impact of schemes, already uncovered – including Democrat plans to let overseas residents vote in states where they’ve never lived, and to keep noncitizens on voter rolls across the states – is still to be determined.
A report at ZeroHedge explained, “Washington, D.C., authorities are hardening security for potential social unrest after next week’s presidential election. With four days remaining, workers have been busy boarding up government buildings and retail stores with plywood.”
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said, “We do expect the Capitol complex to be much more hardened.” And she said residents will need to be flexible because of the possibility of demonstrations.
The report pointed out, “The ultra-hardening of security around and near the White House might be preparation for a possible Trump victory. With far-left corporate media outlets pushing ‘Trump Nazi,’ ‘Trump Hitler,’ and ‘Trump fascist’ rhetoric nonstop ahead of the election, this hate speech propaganda could certainly fuel leftist radicals to become violently unhinged if Trump wins next week.”
Polling shows many Americans are worried about the possibility of such unrest after the vote Tuesday.
Already, one member of Congress has confirmed he will claim that even if elected President Trump is unqualified to take office, and he says then everybody will need bodyguards, a clear expectation of violence.
If Trump in fact does win, violence would be expected, as his critics, hecklers and looters, “wreaked havoc” on business when he was being inaugurated in 2017.
This article originally appeared on WND.com.
[Ed.: The losers are now planning another insurrection! It will be like going to the theater replete with marches of FBI guys in patriot costumes, and enormous restless and angry crowds, made up of on-call riot crews dressed as Trump supporters! Yes, they will stage their own fake “Insurrection” AGAIN. Deja-vu.]
New York Times and Government-Funded Censorship Outlets Target Gateway Pundit with Five Hit Pieces and Ridiculous Reports in One Week — And Election Week Isn’t Even Here Yet!… They Must be VERY Worried Jim Hoft
Nov. 2, 2024 8:00 am – Trump-hating globalists and government elites must be very, very worried about the 2024 election.
Despite the deep state’s best efforts and the kowtowing from their faithful soldiers in the legacy media, at least half of Americans understand that fraud affected the 2020 election. 62% of American voters are concerned that cheating will affect the results in 2024. And one-fifth of mail-in voters admitted they cheated in 2020.
The panic is real. Democrats know they have a dog for a candidate. They know it will be difficult to persuade Americans to pull the lever for such a lackluster and annoying candidate as Kamala Harris.
As their panic grows, it appears the government’s censorship army was ordered to start focusing on The Gateway Pundit early this year. And, it’s not even “election day week” yet!
Far-left The New York Times published at least three reports that targeted or mentioned The Gateway Pundit and our 2024 election reporting just this week.
Last week, the New York Times published an opinion hit piece titled “Trump’s Election Reversal Dreams Are Dead,” where it discussed former President Donald Trump’s alleged “Green Bay Sweep” plan and referenced the Gateway Pundit as part of a supposed “right-wing media machine.”
The article accused Trump and supportive outlets of concocting a “conspiracy theory” around the 2020 election, claiming they spread lies that nearly led to a “coup.”
The Times also drew attention to a cascade of lawsuits that have targeted conservative media, mentioning Gateway Pundit’s bankruptcy filing and asserting that conservative news organizations are more hesitant now to cover MAGA candidates and claims of election fraud.
On Monday, The New York Times published a hit piece on attorney and elections expert Cleta Mitchell. The purpose of the article was to smear Cleta and her amazing efforts in understanding and countering the Democrat Party’s election antics and the corruption in the US election system.
The NY Times authors couldn’t help but take a swipe at The Gateway Pundit in their reporting.
The Times authors couldn’t help but mention The Gateway Pundit and that “Right-wing media outlets, including Gateway Pundit and the Federalist, joined the calls and later publicized the activists’ work to sympathetic readers across the internet.”
On Thursday, The New York Times published its third piece this week that targeted The Gateway Pundit. Why are they escalating their attacks against our publication, that receives over 3 million views per day, only one week before the 2024 presidential election?
The latest NYTs article, written by the highly-partisan Alexandra Berzon, targets The Gateway Pundit, along with contributor and investigative reporter Patty McMurray, Michigan election integrity expert Tim Vetter, and CheckMyVote co-founder Phani Mantravadi, who have impeccable reputations in the state of Michigan
This follows two other NY Times articles earlier in the week that mentioned or targeted The Gateway Pundit.
The Thursday piece called us “Election Denial Activists” because our friends in Michigan found over 125,000+ extra ballots cast from the latest state election reports. TGP’s Patty McMurray reported that data analyst Tim Vetter and co-founder of Check My Vote, Phani Mantravadi, discovered a bombshell revelation that they discovered by tracking the Michigan Daily Absentee Voter Reports.
The New York Times said our reporting was inaccurate – our data analysts who are full-time engineers disagree with the NY Times. We stand by our reporting.
Also on Thursday, Newsguard, a US government-funded censorship organization that targets conservatives and independent media and takes money from the Defense Industrial Complex, sent a request to The Gateway Pundit regarding pro-Kremlin trolling that targets comment sections of US news sites.
Our first reaction was, “This MUST be another deep-state op!” And why are they ALWAYS targeting The Gateway Pundit?
The deep-state are scouring again on The Gateway Pundit’s comment section.
Recall in 2022, following the unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago, the FBI feared retribution from the American public for their ongoing partisan attacks on President Trump.
Americans were outraged to see their premier law enforcement agency once again used as the paramilitary force of the Democrat Party.
The FBI was scouring the comments at The Gateway Pundit, other conservative websites, and social media.

DOJ Will Monitor Polls in 27 States for ‘Compliance with Federal Voting Rights Laws’ By Cassandra Macdonald
Nov. 2, 2024 2:00 pm – The Department of Justice has announced that it will monitor polls in 86 jurisdictions throughout 27 states on election day for “compliance with federal voting rights laws.”
The agency’s Civil Rights Division will coordinate the effort.
Republican lawmakers in Missouri and Florida are trying to bar the agency from polling places, accusing them of “overstepping its authority and using its monitors to punish red states that have tightened voter identification laws,” according to a report from the Washington Post.
In a press release, the DOJ said, “Monitors will include personnel from the Civil Rights Division, other department divisions, U.S. Attorney’s Offices and federal observers from the Office of Personnel Management. Throughout Election Day, division personnel will maintain contact with state and local election officials.”
“The Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section enforces the civil provisions of federal statutes that protect the right to vote, including the Voting Rights Act, National Voter Registration Act, Help America Vote Act, Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act and Civil Rights Acts,” the press release continued.
The press release added, “The division’s Disability Rights Section enforces the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure that persons with disabilities have a full and equal opportunity to vote. The division’s Criminal Section enforces federal criminal statutes that prohibit voter intimidation and voter suppression based on race, color, national origin or religion.”

Fulton County Did Not Inform Georgia Secretary of State They Would Count Ballots Over the Weekend without GOP Poll Workers Present – State Senators Descend on Fulton County By Cristina Laila
Nov. 2, 2024 2:20 pm – As reported earlier, the RNC filed a lawsuit on Saturday after four Georgia counties extended their election office hours and decided to accept absentee ballots over the weekend in violation of state law.
Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties are refusing to allow Republican poll watchers in to observe the process, according to the Republican National Committee.
“This is a blatant violation of Georgia law . . . which states ‘all drop boxes shall be closed when the advance voting period ends,’” the Georgia Republican Party said in a statement on Friday. “To make matters worse, the four election office locations are situated in areas of the county that will clearly favor Democrat candidates,”
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said Democrat officials are playing fast and loose with election law.
According to Georgia state senator representing Forsyth County Greg Dolezal, The Fulton County Registration Manager ordered the staff not to allow GOP observers in the building.
“Do not let them in the building. If they want to observe from the parking lot, you can’t stop that but they are not allowed to sit in the building,” the Fulton County Registration Manager said in an email.
Fulton County did not inform the Secretary of State’s office they would be counting ballots all weekend.
According to Greg Dolezal, the Secretary of State’s office sent investigators to all four counties.
“I am in communication with the Secretary of State’s office and my Senate colleagues about this. The Secretary has sent investigators to all four locations and the outside monitoring teams (which were assigned specifically to observe Fulton for prior issues) are also deploying people to each location. Fulton County did not inform the SoS office they would be doing this. I will continue to monitor this situation with my colleagues,” Greg Dolezal said.
Georgia Republican state senators Greg Dolezal, Brandon Beach and Albers descended on Fulton County and were given access to the building.
“I am en route myself to get eyes on the situation as well. Maddening way to spend a Saturday, and Fulton needs to be held accountable for once again making up rules as they go,” Greg Dolezal said.
The GOP is in court seeking an emergency order to sequester the ballots until their appeal is heard.
DEVELOPING…please check back for updates.

URGENT BREAKING: Four Georgia Counties Decide at the Last Minute to Accept Ballots Over the Weekend in Violation of the Law, Refuse to Allow Republican Poll Watchers Observe Process By Cristina Laila
Nov. 2, 2024 12:45 pm – The RNC filed a lawsuit on Saturday after four Georgia counties extended their election office hours and decided to accept absentee ballots over the weekend in violation of state law.
Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties are refusing to allow Republican poll watchers in to observe the process, according to the Republican National Committee.
“This is a blatant violation of Georgia law . . . which states ‘all drop boxes shall be closed when the advance voting period ends,’” the Georgia Republican Party said in a statement on Friday. “To make matters worse, the four election office locations are situated in areas of the county that will clearly favor Democrat candidates,”
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said Democrat officials are playing fast and loose with election law. [Emphasis added]
“Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, and Gwinnett counties decided at the last minute to accept ballots over the weekend — which disregards the law. They have also failed to let our poll observers in to watch the process. The Secretary of State has issued guidance to allow Republican poll watchers in but local officials REFUSE,” Michael Whatley said on X.
The Registration Manager is refusing to let poll watchers in the building!
“Do not let them in the building. If they want to observe from the parking lot, you can’t stop that but they are not allowed to sit in the building,” the Fulton County Registration Manager said in an email.
Excerpt from Fox News:
Georgia Republicans are vowing to sue the Democratic stronghold of Fulton County after it announced extended elections office hours on Friday.
The threat came after the state GOP learned that election officials in the county, which includes Atlanta, are planning to open four election offices this weekend ‘to accommodate voters seeking to hand-return their absentee ballots.’
Fulton County was one of several to announce it would keep election offices open this weekend for voters turning in their existing absentee ballots in-person.
Drop boxes are a way for voters to turn in their absentee ballots at elections offices without human contact, which is different from submitting them in person at the office itself.
Drop boxes were available through Georgia’s early voting period from Oct. 15 through Nov. 1.
But Republicans are arguing that the extended hours for turning in absentee ballots over the weekend run afoul of the state’s rules.
The Democrats know they can’t win unless they cheat which is why they doing everything they can to flood the ballot boxes with sketchy mail-in ballots and count ballots without GOP poll watchers present.
A judge also ruled on Friday that Cobb County Georgia voters who received absentee ballots late can accept them until November 8, three days after the election.
At least 1,000 of the absentee ballots sent out late this week in Cobb County went to out-of-state voters.
