On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump, who endorsed Perdue, prompt that one thing was fishy about that race.
Robinson’s argument is somewhat in all places, however basically boils all the way down to this: Trump’s endorsement report could be very sturdy so, um, there have to be one thing flawed in Georgia the place a variety of his most well-liked candidates — together with Perdue — misplaced.
“President Trump’s endorsement is the one strongest drive within the universe of American politics. There’s by no means been something fairly prefer it. Trump-endorsed candidates overwhelmingly prevailed within the newest GOP primaries by a margin of 24-4. In actual fact, President Trump is operating the desk on the GOP institution within the 2022 races. His report stands at 92-7 for the time being. …
“That is what makes the first leads to Georgia final night time so curious and so suspect. Georgia is the one state the place President Trump’s endorsements didn’t depend.”
Robinson additionally notes Trump-endorsed candidates fared higher in a ballot launched a month earlier than the Georgia election in comparison with the ultimate outcomes. That is it. That the extent of the argument.
So, as a result of Trump’s report of endorsements in 2022 is mostly sturdy, the truth that he endorsed a bunch of candidates in Georgia who misplaced should imply that there have been shenanigans taking place.
“One thing stinks in Georgia,” concludes Robinson. “The numbers are humorous as a result of many of those races have been rigged.”
Now, let’s take into account what Robinson is alleging right here.
In accordance with Robinson, these numbers are “humorous” and “rigged.” Which is a fairly large declare to make with none proof apart from a month-old ballot and options that Trump’s endorsement had mattered in different states and, due to this fact, needed to matter extra in Georgia.
Is Robinson claiming that greater than 600,000 votes — Kemp’s profitable margin — have been by some means fraudulent? If that’s the case, how? That type of large election fraud can be extraordinarily arduous to cowl up, no?
Let me recommend another — and sane — rationalization. Georgia Republicans are, sure, typically supportive of Trump. However there stays some lingering resentment that Trump’s relentless deal with the 2020 election could have value the GOP two Senate seats in January 2021 runoffs — and, with them, the Senate majority. Subsequently, backing candidates solely as a result of they’re prepared to endorse Trump’s baseless election claims could also be much less interesting to Georgia Republican voters than voters in different states the place Trump’s endorsement has mattered extra.
That appears barely extra believable than Robinson’s fact-free suggestion of lots of of 1000’s of votes being by some means manipulated to harm Trump, proper?

OSCE parliament urges Russia to withdraw from occupied Georgia territories

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s (OSCE) parliamentary assembly on Wednesday called for Russia’s immediate and unconditional withdrawal from the occupied Georgian territories of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali/South Ossetia in its 31st annual session that took place in Bucharest from June 29 to July 3, 2024.
The OSCE parliamentary assembly’s demand for Russia to adhere to the European Union-mediated ceasefire agreement of August 12, 2008 was stated in the Bucharest declaration adopted by it. These demands echo those made in the previous year’s Vancouver Declaration.
The hostilities in South Ossetia in August 2008 marked the beginning of the current occupation. On August 7, 2008, clashes broke out between Georgian forces and separatist authorities backed by Russian security agencies. By August 10, the situation had deteriorated significantly, prompting international calls for a ceasefire. On August 12, a European Union-mediated ceasefire agreement was signed, calling for the withdrawal of Russian and Georgian forces. Despite this agreement, Russian forces have remained in the occupied regions. The European Court of Human Rights recently ruled that Russia’s occupation in Georgia systematically violated Georgians’ human rights in April.
Nikoloz Samkharadze, chairperson of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Georgian Parliament, brought this issue to the forefront during the session. Addressing the General Committee on Political Affairs and Security, Samkharadze emphasized that 20 percent of Georgia’s territory remains under Russian occupation, with 300,000 citizens internally displaced as a result. Samkharadze underscored the pressing need for the international community to take more decisive action. “Negotiations through the Geneva International Discussions have been ongoing for years, including with the OSCE’s Co-Chairing, however the [normalisation] of the peace process still is not being achieved,” he said.
The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly’s resolution condemns the human rights abuses in Abkhazia and Tskhinvali as well as highlights the Russian Federation’s “Russification” policy, which has led to the alteration and obliteration of Georgian cultural heritage in these regions. The Assembly stressed the necessity of continuing active engagement within the Geneva International Discussions framework to achieve a peaceful resolution that respects Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
