Ah but there are requirements within the Georgia Guidelines - which all incoming CCs have to agree to abide by. >> I WILL NOT VOTE IN THIS KANGAROO COURT called an election. > >This Vote is NOT an Election.

That is true. It is a vote to determine if 50% of the CCs in Georgia wish to recall the SC. 75% must participate in the vote for it to be a valid vote and 2/3 of those (which would equal 50% of the CCs) would have to say yes. >> That is my right.
