Georgia State Sen. Beach calls for "Special Session": "What [Sec. of State] Brad Raffensperger entered into without Legislative Approval was Illegal”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Georgia State Sen. Brandon Beach has "called on his colleagues to convene a special session to investigate the allegations of fraud."
Beach, also, said "what Brad Raffensperger entered into without Legislative Approval was Illegal”:
[M]any of Georgia’s Republican elected officials were willing to side with Texas in its lawsuit against their state’s handling of the election. Some still say, without evidence, that Trump won the election in Georgia.
“I believe that there was a strong possibility that the irregularities in the voting in our state cost Donald Trump 16 electoral votes,” said state Rep. Greg Morris, a Vidalia Republican. “In this close election, I thought it would certainly deserve to have been heard in court.”
State Sen. Brandon Beach, an Alpharetta Republican, called on his colleagues to convene a special session to investigate the allegations of fraud — most of which have been debunked. It would take two-thirds of the Legislature to agree to call a special session, and that was never going to happen.
The General Assembly convenes for its 2021 regular session shortly before inauguration day.
Beach said he disagreed with an agreement [Secretary of State Brad] Raffensperger made with the Democratic Party of Georgia earlier this year to settle a lawsuit. The agreement required his office to quickly notify voters if there was an issue with their absentee ballot and allow them time to rectify any problems.
“Since we weren’t able to go into special session, I was more than happy to join an amicus brief to support the Texas lawsuit because I think what Brad Raffensperger entered into without legislative approval was illegal,” Beach said. “He had no right to change election law as he did.”
Raffensperger said the settlement clarifies but doesn’t change state law and was within his authority.
U.S. Rep. Rick Allen, R-Evans, said he and other members of Georgia’s congressional delegation had complained to Raffensperger about the consent decree.
“We had conversations with the secretary of state in May about this and warned him that this could happen,” Allen said.
However, there wasn’t widespread public concern about the decree until after Biden beat Trump in Georgia, in large part because of the heavy use of absentee voting by Democrats.
Allen said he signed the brief not in support of Texas’ lawsuit, but because he wanted the court to weigh in on the legality of the consent decree. Yet he also repeated unsubstantiated allegations that people who no longer live in Georgia were allowed to vote in the general election and that ballots may have been submitted fraudulently.
“I wanted a court to tell me is this fair in America or not,” he said.
Lawsuit after lawsuit including those allegations has been tossed out....
... State Sen. Lindsey Tippins, a Marietta Republican, said the fact that all four of the states Texas challenged had used the same Dominion voting system convinced him that the election could have been thrown. Tippins voted in 2019 to approve the purchase of the voting system from Dominion.
Many Republicans have challenged the accuracy of the Dominion Voting Systems machines, alleging that election fraud was accomplished through “ballot stuffing” by the voting software. The software company has repeatedly disputed the claim and threatened defamation lawsuits against Trump lawyers making the accusations.
“There’s been a great deal of testimony in some of the hearings, and affidavits that have been signed point to some single instances (of irregularities) and some are systemic that could have some seismic impacts,” Tippins said. “All I’m saying is, I think the Georgia public ought to get to the truth.”

Important Note:
The publisher of the Catholic Monitor has made a pledge to wear the Brown Scapular and say the
Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary everyday for a Rosary Lepanto-like
victory for President Trump. He asks all CM readers to make this pledge.
"THE HOLY ROSARY, MOST POWERFUL WEAPON AGAINST THE ENEMY OF GOD AND MAN... Saint Pius V ordered the faithful to recite the Rosary to impetrate victory from God in the epic battle of the Christian Armada against the Turk in the waters of Lepanto: still today, at noon each day, the bells ring in our cities to recall [the victory of] October 7, 1571... Let us pray for the United States of America; let us pray for our President; let us pray for his victory, that the Lord God of Hosts – Dominus Deus Sabaoth –will grant that he may know how to place himself under God’s protection." - Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò
Note: Please put President Trump, Steve Bannon, all the Republican state and national legislators as well as Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Justice Neil Gorsuch in the following Prayer of Command against "satanic forces":
Prayer of Command of Exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger:
"This month’s battle for the republic is tremendous and earth-shaking. The only comparable moments in our history are those moments before the American Civil War and those days leading up to George Washington’s battles against the British."

Bishop Gracida was a courageous WWII airman, monk, friend of Pope John Paul II and the “Savior of EWTN”
as Raymond Arroyo called him in his book who at 96 looks like his is in
his 70’s, is mentally sharper than most men 40 years younger than him
and looks by a large margin younger than Pope Benedict XVI or Francis.
Gracida is declaring that America is in a battle between good and evil.
Pray an Our Father now for the grace to know God's Will and to do it.
Pray an Our Father now for President Donald Trump, the legal teams including Sidney Powell and justice in the United States of America.
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
