but look at what happened in st. louis county yesterday after leadership tried to enact one of those mask rules endorsed by the cdc. people who live there went nuts. the republican attorney general sued not the county, not just the county, but the city of st. louis, as well, to try and can sell cancel out a con current mask mandate that was enacted by the mayor of the city of st. louis. what are local leaders supposed to do to protect their constituents, when they live in an anti-science state? as far as the mayor of st. louis goes, she had this to say about the republican ag attacking her public health policy. quote, i wish that he would put more of his attention toward serving the people of the state of missouri. joining us, now, is the mayor of st. louis. mayor jones, good to see you, again. thank you for being with us, tonight. you got you got a serious issue in your state. and in your city. um, and it d be one thing if you just had a serious issue, and you put in the mask mandat
election-related lawsuits, handing that power instead to the republican ag. now, the provision which was inserted into the state s budget just awaits the republican governor s signature. the other epicenter of this nationwide gop-led assault on democracy is georgia where another specious audit is underway, but that audit was just dealt a substantial blow from the ajc s report. quote, a judge dismissed most of a lawsuit thursday, seeking a deep inspection of fulton county absentee ballots from last year s presidential election, a review pursued by voters trying to find fraud. the case is an attempt to scrutinize 147,000 absentee ballots based on claims by republicans who suspected there were counterfeit ballots during a manual recount of november s election results. election officials have said there s no indication of fraud after multiple recounts and investigations. georgia also set to be the
