Still, she trudges on, pointing out that a Sanchez victory would be the first elected socialist in Cobb County’s history.

Cobb County Board of Elections – Corrupt or Incompetent?

On Saturday, August 3, the Cobb County Board of Elections hosted a retreat at Cobb County’s Safety Village wherein, among other things slated on the agenda, the members were to hear the voter roll challenges brought forth by Eugene Williams. It’s worth noting that Vice Chair Jennifer Mosbacher continues to defile the country in which she lives by refusing to stand or even recite the pledge of allegiance at the beginning of the meetings. As we’ve reported before, Williams has been a pioneer in advocating for the cleanup of voter rolls in Cobb County to ensure that elections are safe and secure from any possible fraud.

Accountability at Cobb County’s Superior Court

Has accountability died in America? Are we so far down the corruption hole that even local government officials aren’t willing to push for morality and justice for the sake of being reelected? 

That may be the case in Cobb County’s 2024 Superior Court Clerk scandal.

It all started when Connie Taylor became the Superior Court Clerk in 2020, and began collecting passport fees. In the state of Georgia, it is legal for Superior Court Clerk’s to collect passport fees as personal income; in most places it helps supplement a small salary while also keeping the County Court Clerk office running. However, from 2020-2022, Cobb County saw an unusually high number of passport renewals which resulted in Connie Taylor collecting an outstanding $425,000 of additional personal income.
