What's Next?

 A taped phone conversation between the Georgia Secretary of State and the President of the United States took place last weekend and the gist of the conversation according to the transcript published by the Washington Post was to find enough votes to overturn the election results in the presidential contest held in November.

There have been hand recounts of ballots cast in Georgia.  The Republican Governor and Secretary of State both stand by the results of the election that has been certified.

“There are no seized machines in Ware County, not true, did not happen,” Secretary of State Implementation Manager Gabriel Sterling said.

 “This is another of the falsehoods being pedaled by conspiracy advocates trying to convince the gullible of why the presidential election didn’t turnout as they’d hoped,” said Walter Jones, he Secretary of State Office's communications manager. “No voting machines have been seized. No one has unearthed evidence of ‘vote flipping’ because it didn’t happen. And no one has discovered some secret algorithm for altering the election outcome because that’s nonsense.”

This isn't the smoking gun of a cover up as in Watergate, in some ways it is just another example of a president that will go almost any length to overturn the results of an election he lost decisively in the Electoral College and in the popular vote.  This is the same president that did many things to thwart the Mueller Report, and this is the same president that has used the pardon power of the office to benefit cronies that lied during the investigations and hearing.

It does make you wonder about the next few weeks.
