Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs:

“The law is clear. Mr. Van Ausdal can withdraw his candidacy or remain on the ballot. He cannot be replaced.” #gapol ajc.com/politics/democ…

Just in: A federal judge has struck down Georgia’s congressional and legislative maps, ruling that they violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Georgia lawmakers have until Dec. 8 to draw new lines, setting up a special legislative session. #gapol Image
The ruling is a victory for Democrats and their allies who challenged the maps, contending they illegally diluted the voting power of Black Georgians. And some Democrats were already lining up to run in GOP-leaning districts that could be redrawn. #gapol

The decision could result in the election of additional Black representatives next year, with Democrats hoping to gain a seat in the U.S. House, where Republicans currently hold a narrow majority, @markniesse reports. #gapol ajc.com/politics/break…

Brian Kemp on why he’ll back Donald Trump if he wins the GOP nod, even though he tormented the governor for much of the last three years: “Despite all of that, despite all of his other trials and tribulations, he would still be a lot better than Biden." ajc.com/politics/polit…
Kemp also urged hardline Republicans in the U.S. House to “pass the damn bill” to fund the government and avoid a shutdown or risk damaging political backlash. And he endorsed maintaining a robust level of military aid for Ukraine. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
The second-term Republican also discussed his decision not to run for president next year and, for now, downplayed talk of a 2026 bid for U.S. Senate against Democrat Jon @ossoff. #gapol Image

A judge has just released the full report compiled by a Fulton County special grand jury that laid the groundwork for the election interference indictments last month against Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants. documentcloud.org/documents/2394…
The special grand jury recommended charges be brought against dozens of officials with “respect to the national effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election” — including former U.S. Sens. David Perdue (17-4 vote) and Kelly Loeffler (14-6 vote). #gapol

The special grand jury report also recommended charges be brought against Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who was a state senator when he served as a fake GOP elector in December 2020. Image

Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns has some pointed words about a far-right Republican’s fantasy push to impeach Fani Willis in a letter to the GOP caucus.
“Targeting one specific DA in this manner certainly flaunts the idea of separation of powers, if not outright violates it.” 1/

“A select few are calling to defund a duly-elected district attorney of this state and her office in an attempt to interfere with the criminal justice system,” Burns writes of Sen. Colton Moore’s politically impossible call for a special session to oust Willis. #gapol Image
This is like 2020 all over again as Trump presses Georgia lawmakers to do something that they can’t legally do. Back then, it was overturning the election results. Now it’s calling a special legislative session to oust District Attorney Fani Willis from office. #gapol
