TIL that the previous Speaker of the House in Georgia corruptly used his position to delay court cases for which he was a lawyer for years

en.wikipedia.org David Ralston - Wikipedia

By delaying court cases in this manner, Ralston was able to keep his clients free on bond for months or even years, while weakening court cases over time by letting memories fade and evidence expire. Some of Ralston's clients retained him specifically for these reasons.

There isn't the political will in Georgia to change the law and there wasn't the political will to remove him when he was alive.

Fuck the south.

i like the one about how the gov of georgia barely 'won' an election, and then had the servers with all the votes immediately wiped because he was also the election commissioner... because presiding over your own election isnt a conflict of interest for some reason in georgia
- Yeah, he eliminated almost a million voters, most of whom were black, from the rolls under bullshit pretenses and then "won" by a few thousand votes against a black Democrat.
  Not suspicious at all! 🤬
- As a resident that still angers me.
  
  Where's Luigi at?
  
  Believe it or not, jail.
