There seems to be a bit of confusion about when bills will go into effect. Here's the skinny:
All bills passed without an emergency clause will go into effect 90 days after we close session Sine Die (last day of legislative session). Sine Die happens sometime between mid April and late May. If we closed Sine Die on Jun 1, the regular bills would go into effect Sept 1.
The Primary election is Aug 2, 2022. Therefore, all bills that we pass this year will go into effect later this year after the 90 day period and will be in place next year.
Bills we pass next year will likely not be in effect until late August, after the primary, but before the General. Even if we closed sooner, major reforms would need to be implemented, which takes time.
Therefore, we must have significant changes in place this year if they will be in time for next year's primary. My bill, SB1241, has significant reform to dramatically reduce the chance for fraud. I believe we can get 16 votes in the Senate and 31 in the House to get that bill done this year. It was dead, but I insisted that we not go home without it. Please contact the members and ask them to support the bill today.
As for replacing the machines, I will be spending the remainder of the year working with stakeholders to find the path forward for that. I ask for your support in this effort. We do not have the support for that kind of overhaul without a replacement plan this year, unfortunately.
In the meantime, please keep an eye on the Redistricting process. That will be a big part of fair elections.

We are preparing to argue the bill that will ban vaccine passports in government places, HB2190. There are several amendments to be considered. My amendments that proposes the vaccine passport ban, the Livingston amendment that parses it down some, and then two Pace amendments that include universities in the prohibition. It reduces the penalty from a class 5 FELONY to a class 3 misdemeanor and removes the prohibition of forced vaccinations under a state of emergency. The Pace amendment will also remove the prohibition on businesses and events from requiring it.
This is the consequence of having a 1 seat majority. We cannot lose even one vote on a partisan bill. So every republican Senator must be able to be comfortable voting yes, and these are the requirements of one Senator in the Majority.
My feeling is we need this passed, and Roberts can address any unfavorable changes in conference committee when it gets back to the House for final passage.
Elections have consequences and we need to gain back several seats to give ourselves room to be insulated from these problems.

As a side note, we are short one Senator so the bill will likely fail. As stated yesterday, one of us will have to vote no in order to motion to reconsider it on Monday.
We all choose an elephant for our desks on the Senate floor. I chose one to signify unity. It is ceramic and therefore fragile and will break if mishandled. May we be careful with each other.
A quick heads up, it is looking like my election integrity and security bill, SB1241 will be heard in the house on Tuesday, God willing. The language should be published today and I will let you know as soon as it is.

BREAKING: GA JUDGE ALLOWS FURTHER SCAN OF MAIL-IN BALLOT INSPECTION IN FULTON COUNTY…GROUND ZERO OF ELECTION FRAUD…
In today’s Georgia audit hearing, Henry County, GA judge, the Honorable Brian J. Amero, ruled that Plaintiffs (VoterGA.org, Garland Favorito et al) will be allowed access to the physical mail-in ballots in Fulton County, which could show massive election fraud in GA during the 2020 presidential election cycle, and the follow-on runoff that decided control of the U.S. Senate for the Democrat Party, leading to full control of the American government.
In the hearing, lawyers for VoterGA.org described large discrepancies (21%) between the number of ballot batches reported by the GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger who certified the election, and the number of ballot batches actually provided by court-ordered access in the previous April hearing in the case.
VoterGA.org has been examining the ballot images at a low resolution since the hearing in April, and declared they need the actual physical ballots to understand the number of counterfeit ballots certified.
Fulton County attorneys pushed for a sampling of the ballots instead of access to all of the ballots. They particularly objected to access to physical ballots.
Fulton County attorneys also objected to expert witnesses testifying the number of ballot batches certified by Secretary of State Raffensperger in the previous ‘risk limiting audit’ were significantly different from the actual number of ballot image batches that were provided by state and county officials in court-ordered discovery in April.
Shockingly, attorneys for Fulton County declared ‘the county has no control over its election tablulation process.’ [Sounds a lot like Maricopa County, AZ]
A high number of ballots appear to have been counted twice,” declared the expert witness. There was an error rate in the batch data of 21%”
The ‘risk limiting audits’ conducted previously in the state of GA by SoS Raffensperger were shown in today’s hearing to be severely compromised.
The GA Attorney General’s office testified citizens have no right to audit the vote.
The results of ballot analysis in this case could show the U.S. Senate, and the presidency of the United States, were fraudulently certified.

I am pleased to say that my election security amendments to SB1241 were adopted onto my election bill in the House today. We had contributions from Rep. Kavanagh and Senator Borrelli, and one of the amendments carried by Rep. Leo Biasiucci. It is almost ready to be voted on in the House, and only needs one adjustment in order to get the 31st vote, which I approved of. It should get done tomorrow and hopefully will be on the way to the Governor.
