Georgia House Guts Bill That Would Have Given Election Board Power To Investigate SoS

By passing an unrelated substitute bill in its place on Tuesday, Georgia’s Republican-led House derailed a proposed bill that would have given the State Election Board (SEB) authority to investigate the secretary of state.
The Georgia Senate passed SB358 in January shortly after it passed out of the Senate Ethics Committee. The bill, as approved by the Senate, would remove the secretary of state from his role as an “ex officio nonvoting member” of the SEB and permit the board to, amongst other things, “investigate the Secretary of State” and “require the Secretary of State to cooperate with certain investigations.”
The bill clarified that the SEB has authority to investigate “the administration of primary and election laws by the Secretary of State and local election officials and frauds and irregularities in primaries and elections.”
But the House Committee on Governmental Affairs ditched the Senate’s bill in favor of a “substitute” bill that has nothing to do with the bill’s original purpose. That substitute appears to focus on campaign finance laws but includes no language authorizing the SEB to investigate the secretary of state as initially proposed.

The GOPe would rather Biden have a second term and all the unnecessary pain that comes with that than to see Trump win.

Nothing to see here... "muh NO FRAUD! NO PROOF!" Right?
If that's the case, the SOS would have no problem with an investigation. It should be welcomed to prove "muh NO FRAUD!"

Georgia Republicans.
They don’t want it uncovered. They largely are complicit.

Yall are banging your head against the wall in vain, chasing things that will never change.
If you lose this election, its because yall cant focus on the present.
