When delegates arrived at the Georgia GOP State Convention they had been given little if any written information beforehand.

Even the list of proposed Delegates to be sent to the Republican National Convention was not provided in written handouts.

Selection and confirmation of this Delegate list is arguably one of the most important functions for an election-year convention.

Instead, the list of at-large Delegates and Alternates was displayed via a powerpoint slide in the front of the room.   Some delegates later said they had trouble reading the list because of lighting or distance.

The most shocking thing though was that the list included the name of John Garst, a former lobbyist for Dominion Voting Systems and personal friend of the GOP Chairman Josh McKoon.

John Garst had been identified in previous months as his firm Rosetta Stone was found to have been paid nearly a million dollars by the Georgia Republican Party, Inc. during 2020.

Questions regarding the reason for these expenditures have never been answered.

Other payments of nearly $200,000.00 were found to have been made to Rosetta Stone from the Fulton County GOP in the same general timeframe.

See our previous reporting on the matter:

What would Trump's team say about placing a Dominion Lobbyist in the role of a delegate for the RNC?

Trump has consistently maintained that the 2020 election was rigged.  Election integrity experts have shown that Dominion Voting System machines are easily hackable which opens the system to potential fraud. 

During the Curling v. Raffensperger case, one expert hacked a Dominion system using an ordinary pen.

Inclusion of a lobbyist from Dominion Systems and referring to him as part of a "Trump Slate" was described as offensive by many Trump supporters.

So how did John Garst’s name find its way on the delegate list?

The nomination committee placed it there, and then stood on stage and called the list a “Trump Slate.”    

Rufus Montgomery was selected by McKoon as chairman of the nominations committee which placed Garst's name on the list.    After creation of the Delegate list, the nomination committee was brought on stage to recognize their work. 

One committee member, troubled about the process and the outcome of the nominations, chose not to join the committee on stage.

Did John Garst actually serve as a delegate to the RNC?  

The convention process allows for delegates to be challenged and replaced and in fact a motion was made to remove Garst’s name and replace it with Tiffany Savage.   Shortly thereafter Garst removed his name from consideration as a potential delegate.

But surprisingly, Garst surfaced once again at the RNC.    He was pictured enjoying a boat ride with Josh McKoon and others.    How did he get there, who invited him?

What role did Josh McKoon play in having John Garst's name placed on the recommended Delegate list?

Why haven't questions regarding the reasons for nearly $1.2 million in payments to Garst's company been explained since the issues surfaced in 2023?

The RNC concluded with a final Speech by Trump and the expected balloon drop, which this time unexpectedly included Red, White, Blue and GOLDEN balloons. Perhaps harbingers of a "Golden Age?"
