Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate Vernon Jones Says Kemp's 'Incompetence' is to Blame for DOJ Lawsuit

Georgian firebrand Vernon Jones has worn many titles: Dekalb County CEO, Democratic state representative and Trump Campaign surrogate, just to name a few. His newest title, Georgia Republican Gubernatorial Candidate, might be one he’s inadvertently prepared for his entire life by being a popular black conservative and symbol of the black community’s frustration with the Democratic Party. He’s said he’s “willing to fall on the sword for his convictions” and he is “running to right the wrongs of Georgia’s failed leadership.”

Human Events News recently had the opportunity to sit down with the candidate and discuss the latest in Georgia. 

Human Events (HE): What did you learn from your audit visit in Arizona? The media and opponents say it isn’t real, how do you respond to that?

Vernon Jones (VJ): It’s certainly a real audit. I don’t think there is any question of that. For starters, the audit location is very secure, more secure and surveilled than many of our election sites. From the scientific methods being used, such as examination of paper fabric and ink to chain of custody thoroughness with ballots, this the most comprehensive election audit we’ve ever seen. They’ve even created a process for verifying absentee ballots so this is far beyond a simple recount or traditional audit. One thing I was shocked to witness firsthand was the lengths that Democrat politicians and their media allies were willing to go in order to discredit this audit. A transparent secure election process is essential to a strong democracy, what’s so wrong with making sure everything is on the up and up?
