I'm trying to understand why the networks are airing a statement by Republican elections officials in Georgia urging people to vote tomorrow, when the clear focus of the statement is to reach GOP voters and get out the vote for Trump? This seems like a partisan political presser.
Only the members of *one political party* are telling Georgia's Republican elections officials that they believe their votes don't count, and that the elections in Georgia are "rigged," so any presser aimed at "getting out the vote" and contradicting that argument is *partisan*.
In any case, ultimately it's fine, but it seems to me that when one political party shoots themselves in the foot prior to the most important runoff election in decades, it is not the place of supposedly neutral elections officials to remedy that grave, historic political error.
I should clarify that Georgia officials' statements against disinformation are fine and actually really important. It was the first part of the speech—which was clearly less prepared, and was fundamentally a GOTV message directed at Republican voters only—that I found concerning.
