Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:00:49 GMT

By Marshall Cohen | CNNJury selection in the first Georgia election subversion trial is set to begin Friday as planned, after the judge issued a slew of rulings Tuesday rejecting attempts to throw out the charges.Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee denied eight motions from co-defendants Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, pro-Donald Trump lawyers who are the first to go to trial.Chesebro is accused of helping orchestrate the fake electors plot and Powell is charged with crimes stemming from the Coffee County voting system breach.

Submit your letter to the editor via this form. Read more Letters to the Editor.Pride flag banjustifies recallRe: “Pride flag ban will continue in district” (Page A1, Oct. 12).As a parent and educator, I support the recall effort of Board President Ryan Jorgenson and Trustee Linda Hurley by Sunol parents, teachers and former board members.

He is quoted in USA Today as saying, “Even though I may have my personal beliefs … we don’t need to … try to control their families.”Do those “personal beliefs” you refer to so vaguely, Mr. Jorgensen, include anti-LGBTQ beliefs?
