A former Fulton County, Georgia election chair filed a formal ethics complaint with Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp against three GOP members of the state election commission who were lauded by adjudicated rapist and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump during a recent Atlanta rally.

Cathy Wo0lard, a former member of the state election commission herself, said current members Rick Jeffares, Janice Johnston, and Janelle King damaged the ability of the commission to objectively determine the outcome of the upcoming election after demonstrating their fealty to Trump during Trump’s Atlanta rally.  From the stage, Trump recognized the three individually noting that they would help tilt the election to him. Woolard also details how the three have ignored directives from state officials regarding changing election regulations and processes close to election dates and other deadlines.

“Their conduct raises concerns that the Board members are not fulfilling their duty to ensure the “fair, legal, and orderly conduct” of Georgia elections. On the contrary, they have created, at minimum, the appearance that their actions are intended to advance their own political preferences. The members have done nothing to dispel that appearance of impropriety, instead receiving a standing ovation at a Trump rally and openly discussing a position in the Trump administration. Taken together, these actions pose a serious risk of creating confusion about the rules governing the rapidly approaching election and undermining voter confidence in the integrity of Georgia’s elections,” Woolard wrote, noting the trio likely violated state codes by engaging in conduct that amounts to a breach of the public trust and failing to uphold the laws of the state.
