Jones had been considering running for Governor of Georgia in 2022 as he was unhappy with how Kemp handled the aftermath of the 2020 election in Georgia. Jones blamed Kemp for Donald Trump’s loss of the 2020 election by cowering to the radical left in a tweet earlier this year. He made his announcement to run in April.

“I’m looking closely at Georgia’s race for Governor. If it weren’t for Brian Kemp, Donald Trump would still be President of these United States. We need courageous conservatives leading our state, not those afraid to stand up to the Radical Left.”

Jones called for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to resign immediately after it was brought to light that he edited then released a recording of former President Trump in an effort to embarrass him publicly. Trump had been requesting help from Raffensperger in investigating the 2020 election and Raffensperger declined to do anything then released the edited telephone conversation. Jones’ tweet can be seen below:

“It has now been uncovered that the Georgia Secretary of State’s released a deceptively edited recording of the President, in attempt to embarrass him and mislead the public. He should resign immediately. Georgians deserve better.”

An audit of the Maricopa County Arizona election is underway and is set to be finished sometime in July. There is also another audit proposed for the county that would look at all elections and not just federal elections from November of 2020.

There has been much push back on the Maricopa County audit we have previously reported:

Earlier today we reported on the audit taking place in Maricopa County which started today. Democrats sued to have the audit stopped and were told they would need to post a $1 Million dollar bond to provide for any extra cost. According to a tweet by Jeremy Duda, the Democrats will not post the bond this is allowing the audit to continue.

“The pause is off. @azdemparty won’t post the $1m bond that a judge demanded in order to halt the @ArizonaAudit for the weekend so he can ensure laws governing confidentiality of ballots and voter registration info are followed.”

Currently, there is an ongoing election fraud lawsuit ongoing in the State of Michigan. Secretary of State from Michigan Jocelyn Benson requested to be excused from her deposition set for May 24th. Originally Assistant Attorney General Erik Grill sent an email to request that they drop Benson from the depositions.

Mlive reported in the email Grill called her deposition“neither necessary nor appropriate…She was not directly involved in any of the events or issues concerning the Antrim election, and has no information to provide that cannot be obtained through her election staff” in the email.

“Benson wasn’t initially named in the lawsuit, but filed a request to intervene as an added defendant, in part because the lawsuit posed statewide election integrity questions.”

With Jones stepping forward to call of an audit, we will see if anything comes from it, many hope it does.
