AJC’s Alleged Bias and Georgia’s Hidden Legislative Games

AJC’s Alleged Bias and Georgia’s Hidden Legislative Games
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) is criticized for its reluctance to publish negative stories about Democrats and its alignment with the establishment wing of the Republican Party, subtly pushing a Democratic agenda tied to "Project 2030." The Georgia State House, led by Jon Burns, is described as dominated by a Democratic majority despite its Republican label, with the AJC shaping narratives to favor this dynamic—painting Republicans in a specific light before critiquing them. Unreported by the AJC, the Zeldin-led EPA uncovered $2 billion in taxpayer funds earmarked for a Stacey Abrams-linked group, part of a suspected Biden scheme to funnel $20 billion to dubious organizations, including one reporting just $100 in revenue in 2023. In election integrity debates, Georgia House Republicans advanced a bill to exit the ERIC voter data group, though Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger opposes it, and Governor Brian Kemp is unlikely to sign it, suggesting it’s a symbolic gesture to appease voters. Efforts to make the State Election Board (SEB) independent from Raffensperger’s office stall, while a costly $66 million proposal to remove unconstitutional QR codes from ballots is debated against a cheaper $15 million software update, highlighting legislative inertia and misdirections.
Every seldom does the AJC run anything negative about the democrats. The AJC is also very close to the democrat wing of the republican party. They are ok with the establishment. The AJC has played an active role in nudging things in the direction the democrats want to go for their Project 2030. The GA state house and Jon Burns are the democrat majority. Now the AJC will paint the republicans a certain way then bring them in and then attack.
You didn’t find this in the AJC… Zeldin EPA discovers $2B in taxpayer funds earmarked for Stacey Abrams-linked group. It was suspected that some organizations were created out of thin air to take advantage of Biden's scheme to quickly park $20B outside the agency. An agency that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2B.
There are a certain number of lawmakers that know if you throw out the bait for election integrity you can reel in and get a fish in the boat. GA house republicans advance bill to withdraw state from voter location data group, ERIC. Remember when… why would the house put a bill up to remove GA from ERIC? This sounds good. But wait a minute the SOS Raffensperger did not say he wanted to be removed. They throw the carrot out to the people of GA but do not complete any bills to move the SEB into an independent agency. If this bill passes and gets to the senate, it is pretty apparent that Kemp will not sign. This is a bill to whip people into a frenzy. Where is the SEB bill for them to be completely independent of the SOS to give them authority they don’t have. The SEB is still a line item in the SOS. Remember last year when we worked so hard on SB189 to remove the QR code and Raffensperger sat in the budget committee hearing to stop the funding that could cost $66M. But GA lawmakers are deciding whether to spend as much as $66M to remove the computer OR code from ballots, which is unconstitutional and against the law, in favor of a $15M software update. Raffensperger's argument is saying that the machines are in the 7th year of a 10 year deal. We spend $100K a year to be in the database, it will be costly to remove from the database to be in another database. They are trying to keep the QR code on the ballot. ERIC is the cover for the many pieces of legislation they are trying to pass unbeknownst to the people of Georgia.
There are 300+ house bills and 150+ senate bills, and there are a lot of scary bills out there that they are negotiating under the Gold Dome.
