Trump allies continue to push election denial narrative in Georgia.

The Georgia GOP convention elected a slate of hardline conservative activists who support Donald Trump's election fraud lies to top party leadership posts. The new leaders include some of the more prominent conspiracy theorists in the state, as well as others who have joined pro-Trump lawsuits seeking to undermine President Joe Biden's victory. Despite evidence of Biden's victory, Trump's unfounded claims of a "rigged" election have seeped deeply into the minds of state Republican voters.

Trump's Appearance at GOP Conventions Raises Concerns for Party Unity and Electability.

Some members of Georgia's state Republican convention are seeking to ban GOP officials they consider ideological traitors from future primary election ballots, including Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who refused to overturn Trump's loss in the 2020 election. Trump is expected to appear at the convention on Saturday, despite facing charges of mishandling classified documents. The proposals to ban candidates could be used against those who show insufficient purity on abortion or taxes. However, opponents argue that primary election voters should decide who's fit to be a Republican, and that ideological purity attempts are a strategy to lose general elections in battleground Georgia.

GOP Convention: Trump's Presence and Electability Worries

Some members of Georgia's state Republican convention are seeking to ban GOP officials they consider ideological traitors from future primary election ballots, including Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who refused to overturn Trump's loss in the 2020 election. The proposals could be used against candidates who show insufficient purity on abortion or taxes. Trump is expected to appear at the convention on Saturday, his first visit to Georgia since March 2022. The move to enforce adherence to Republican ideals is being opposed by opponents who say primary election voters should decide who's fit to be a Republican.
