Spalding County election board member Roy McClain publicly voted against certification of election results.

McClain then quietly signed an official government document approving the very same results that he publicly refused to certify.

The certification issue has come into greater focus in Georgia after the new MAGA majority on the State Election Board recently passed two rules giving local election officials more power to arbitrarily deny certification.

Spalding County election board member publicly voted for certification but then refused to sign the official document.

The revelations about McClain ’s contradictory actions have not been previously reported in emails obtained by Rolling Stone and American Doom.

The election board has become a proving ground for what elections administration looks like under the authority of election conspiracists.

Pro-Trump local election officials across the country hold up certification based on bogus accusations of voter fraud.

Since 2020 , 35 election officials have delayed or attempted to deny certification in eight states, watchdog group says.

Georgia courts have ruled that certification is not the proper venue to investigate voter fraud claims.
