Georgia GOP Chair @DavidShafer believes public officials should be able to broker backroom deals over election results in secret, with no right of the People or the voters to listen in.

For the record, @DavidShafer writes he did NOT say that. "I never said anything like that" he wrote in a DM: 
We have had a very respectful discussion over DM and he offered to have a phone call, but I'm putting the kids to bed. @DavidShafer wrote, "...I agree completely that the terms of any conversation should be respected."
Further clarifying: I was referring directly to the Trump/Raffensperger recording in which the president repeatedly asked SoS to 'find' thousands of votes in a certified election. GOP chair insists that was a confidential negotiation (read: secret). Both men are public officials.
'Backroom' was used euphemistically. I have no idea what @DavidShafer believes, only what I can glean from his tweets. In any case, if there was a stipulation that the conversation was confidential, any such agreement was broken/waived by the president with this tweet:
Another thing to add: public officials in Georgia may not enter into confidential agreements about public business. Such civil agreements are always subject to the Open Records Act.
