Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED until midnight ET, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Fake Republican Electors in Georgia Face Possible Prosecution

HeadlineJul 20, 2022

Prosecutors in Georgia have revealed they may bring criminal charges against 16 Republicans who acted as fake electors as part of Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. While Joe Biden won more votes in Georgia, the fake electors submitted false certifications to the National Archives claiming Trump had won the state. Similar efforts were done in six other states where Trump lost: Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Republicans facing possible prosecution in Georgia include state Senator Burt Jones, who is Governor Brian Kemp’s running mate for lieutenant governor, and David Shafer, the chair of the Georgia Republican Party.
