Georgia GOP Poll Worker and Her Son Allegedly Kicked out of Polling Location After They Look Up Her Social Media
By: Jack Davis
The Western Journal

One unabashedly conservative Georgian’s exercise of her freedom of speech appears to have been too much to take for the Fulton County Board of elections.

Laura Kronen of Johns Creek fired off irate Twitter messages saying that she and her son were bounced from their poll worker jobs because of her social media posts.

Fulton County representative Regina Waller said two poll workers were “relieved of their duties due to questionable social media posts,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Waller did not name names or provide details confirming that Kronen was the dismissed worker she was referencing.

Based on Kronen’s description of the alleged violating tweet, it appears she was referencing the following tweet: 

Fulton County representative Jessica Corbitt-Dominguez framed the issue differently than did Kronen.

She said a poll worker raised concerns on Monday over  “comments made by another poll worker during a virtual poll worker event Sunday and on social media.”

The secretary of state’s office also had some issues on Tuesday, resulting in the two poll workers being dismissed.

In a video of a confrontation between Seth Weathers, a former state coordinator for former President Donald Trump who has been calling attention to Kronen’s plight, and authorities, one of the men summoned to escort Kronen can be heard saying, “they do not want a disturbance.”.

The original tweets and more are available in the original article:

That article misrepresents why they were ejected. Far be it from me to call CNN a reliable source, but:
In this case they provide the actual post that caused them to be ejected, which reads as follows:
I stood up for what’s right today in Washington DC. This election was a sham. Mike Pence is a traitor. I was tear gassed FOUR times. I have pepper spray in my throat. I stormed the Capitol building. And my children have had the best learning experience of their lives,
They weren't kicked out because they wanted a free and fair election. They were kicked out for attending the January 6 rally and storming the Capitol (or claiming to). That is an appropriate thing to do. People who call the results of free and fair elections a sham and storm government buildings to try to overturn said election should not be in charge of elections. This is akin to Elon Musk firing Twitter employees who publicly attack Twitter's new direction, only a much more severe offense.

Edit: The Atlanta Journal Constitution confirms the nature of the post.

No it doesn't. It cited the AJC and explained what the other side stated:

Fulton County representative Regina Waller said two poll workers were “relieved of their duties due to questionable social media posts,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Waller did not name names or provide details confirming that Kronen was the dismissed worker she was referencing.
But even moreso, it is a screenshot of the post and not the post itself. It could be a fake for all we know.

Moreover, who is to say she wouldn't take her post seriously? Wouldn't someone who claims election integrity is important be someone who would uphold the integrity of an election?

I know someone who volunteered in their district in part because of the 2020 election and the fraud.

The original post was deleted, so they couldn't link to it.

That would require evidence to believe that they faked it. But assume they did. Why would they fake it? That is, why would they fake a post from one Republican, but not fake posts or fake other disqualifying reasons for any other Republican? Why single her out? If the goal is to commit fraud, then ejecting only two Republicans is pointless. You might say someone has a vendetta against her personally. But if that is the case, then this event doesn't indicate fraud, but rather that some other poll worker with power to eject her is a jerk. And why would any news organizations go along with that? Simply put, there is no motive to fake it.
Wouldn't someone who claims election integrity is important be someone who would uphold the integrity of an election?
Not necessarily. It could also mean that she would cry fraud at any number of innocuous events.

  • Sorry, no.  Attempted coups are not "claiming election integrity is important."   Taking your two twenty something sons up to the Capitol to beat up some cops and lynch the Vice President because you're mad about who won is not "claiming election integrity is important"
    • Being honest and forthright about who won the 2020 Election is how you show that election integrity is important.
  • The twitter account you include has her celebrating the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi with  dancing to "It's Hammertime"
    • This individual certainly seems like an enthusiatic advocate for poltical violence (aka terrorism)

There you go again claiming, without evidence, that January 6th was an attempted coup.

Stop spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories about the events of the 2020 election already. Or at least buy a tinfoil hat.

I don't know where you got all that from her unverified social media post.

Moreover, the entering of the Capitol Building was planned as a psyop. You can hear a guy yelling at people with a megaphone telling people to enter the capitol building:

This video shows capitol police waving people in:

And an FBI agent said in a sworn affidavit that BLM rioters were fomenting hatred and causing a disturbance at the capitol during the largely peaceful protest:

And police officers reported that at least 2 known members of the ANTIFA terrorist organization posed as Trump supporters:

This is John Sullivan, talking to protesters about "burning this shit down" at the Utah Capitol:

John Sullivan was at the Capitol riot. He was caught pretending to be a conservative Trump supporter:

Moreover, according to the New York Times, the activists and provocateurs were already breaking down the barriers before Trump even finished speaking:

But the real creme de la creme of this entire thing is that twitter posts, facebook groups, and metro police text messages prove that the ANTIFA terrorist organization and Black Lives Matter marxist paramilitary group planned the whole thing:

  • Eastman v Thompson, et. al
    • "Dr. Eastman and President Trump launched a campaign to overturn a democratic election, an action unprecedented in American history. Their campaign was not confined to the ivory tower—it was a coup in search of a legal theory. The plan spurred violent attacks on the seat of our nation’s government, led to the deaths of several law enforcement officers, and deepened public distrust in our political process... If Dr. Eastman and President Trump's plan had worked, it would have permanently ended the peaceful transition of power, undermining American democracy and the Constitution. If the country does not commit to investigating and pursuing accountability for those responsible, the Court fears January 6 will repeat itself"
  • Brookings Institute
    • "[Trump] tried to delegitimize the election results by disseminating a series of far fetched and evidence-free claims of fraud. Meanwhile, with a ring of close confidants, Trump conceived and implemented unprecedented schemes to – in his own words – "overturn" the election outcome. Among the results of this "Big Lie" campaign were the terrible events of January 6, 2021 – an inflection point in what we now understand was nothing less than an attempted coup."
  • MIchael Harvey, "Donald Trump in Historical Perspective"
    • "As with the Beer Hall Putsch, a would-be leader tried to take advantage of an already scheduled event (in Hitler’s case, Kahr’s speech; in Trump’s, Congress’s tallying of the electoral votes) to create a dramatic moment with himself at the center of attention, calling for bold action to upend the political order. Unlike Hitler’s coup attempt, Trump already held top of office, so he was attempting to hold onto power, not seize it (the precise term for Trump’s intended action is a ‘self-coup’ or ‘autogolpe’). Thus, Trump was able to plan for the event well in advance, and with much greater control, including developing the legal arguments that could be used to justify rejecting the election’s results"
  • Encyclopædia Britannica
    • "Because its object was to prevent a legitimate president-elect from assuming office, the attack was widely regarded as an insurrection or attempted coup d’état. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other law-enforcement agencies also considered it an act of domestic terrorism."
  • Steve Bannon, Jan 4th:
    • "Live from our nation's capital, you're in the field headquarters of one of the small divisions of the bloodless coup."

The FBI and Secret Service estimate 1,200 people breached the Capitol that day.  Of these, more than 900  (better than 75%) have been apprehended and charged with Federal crimes.

  • 14% (126+) were active military or law enforcement
  • 17% (154+) defendants have alleged ties to known extremist or fringe organizations, such as the pro-Trump conspiracy theory QAnon; the Proud Boys, a far-right group known for street violence; the Oath Keepers, an anti-government group; and the Three Percenters, a part of the anti-government militia movement.
  • 19 were state legislators, all Republicans, including the Pennsylvania GOP's candidate for Governor in 2022, Doug Mastriano.
So far, no link has been established between any terrorist and Antifa or BLM.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to Senate:  “We have not to date seen any evidence of anarchist violent extremists or people subscribing to antifa in connection with the 6th, that doesn't mean we're not looking, and we'll continue to look, but at the moment we have not seen that.”

The bulk of the most serious charges are reserved for the White Supremacist and Right-WIng militia groups in communication with Roger Stone, Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, and Michael Flynn.
