Again, it's a short clip, but this is that same rally in Georgia.
voice-verified
Thank you.
voice-verified
These people he's shouting out by name, at least one of those people is apparently there at the rally, waving back at him, and he's acknowledging her.
voice-verified
The reason you've never heard of these people is because they have a job that's supposed to be an obscure technocratic job.
voice-verified
They are members of the Georgia State Elections Board.
voice-verified
He describes them as three pit bulls fighting for victory.
voice-verified
And he calls them out by name, and he thanks them, and he praises them, and he points out at least one of them who's there in person at the front row of his rally.
voice-verified
He says they're doing a great job.
voice-verified
They are, quote, fighting for victory.
voice-verified
Georgia State Elections Board is not supposed to be the kind of entity that has its members shouted out at a candidate's rally for all they're doing to assure the victory of that candidate.
voice-verified
The state elections board is responsible for administering elections for, in the words of Georgia state statutes, they're responsible for conducting, quote, fair, legal and orderly elections for the state of Georgia.
voice-verified
And here is Trump shouting them out by name.
voice-verified
for all the great work they're doing for him since the 2020 election in which Trump tried mightily and failed to overturn the results of the presidential election in Georgia, since a Georgia grand jury indicted him and multiple co-defendants on multiple felonies, including RICO charges for trying to overturn the election in contravention of law.
voice-verified
Georgia Republicans have since replaced the membership of the Georgia State Board of Elections so that it's now stocked with election deniers and Trump superfans, who Trump is now shouting out by name at his rallies while they sit in the front row and wave back at him.
voice-verified
They have also stocked election deniers and Trump superfans on county election boards throughout the state of Georgia and in other swing states as well.
voice-verified
why is that important these elections officials who are doing the kinds of jobs that shouldn't make them famous why is it important that they're election deniers and trump super fans that have been installed since trump tried and failed to overturn the results of the last election well those county elections officials in multiple counties listen multiple swing states listen since 2020 they have refused to certify local election results dozens of times yeah
voice-verified
The state election board members who Trump shouted out at his rally this weekend, they're now pushing through a new rule in the state of Georgia that will give any county official at the county elections board level, give them the leeway to refuse to certify election results in that county, or at least to delay the certification of election results in that county.
voice-verified
And why does that matter?
voice-verified
because no matter how people vote in a particular state, right, no matter who gets the most votes in a particular state,
voice-verified
Election results get tallied locally and then they get certified by each county and then they get certified at the state level.
