Without evidence, Georgia's U.S. senators demand top elections official to resign

Georgia’s two U.S. senators called on the state’s top elections official, a fellow Republican, to resign on Monday in a shocking attempt to appease President Donald Trump and his supporters ahead of consequential Jan. 5 runoffs.


U.S. Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue provided no evidence to back up claims of unspecified “failures” with the November election, overseen by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, echoing other Trump supporters who falsely claim widespread fraud contributed to his defeat.

The two were attempting to energize conservatives upset over Trump’s loss to President-elect Joe Biden, who is on the cusp of becoming the first Democrat to flip Georgia for the first time since 1992. Biden led Trump by over 11,500 votes on Monday afternoon.

Raffensperger said he’s not going to resign and will continue to ensure that the election is fair.

1. This is fucking scary. They are trying to invalidate the results.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Yes, these 2 liars are in with Moscow Mitch

What controls them? Campaign cash? Network? They're showing their colors. Hope Georgians see the truth!

[Mystery sage]

3. These two are just energizing conservatives for their race

Nothing more.

[Grokenstein]

13. They should be careful

They're liable to wind up energizing the voters on the other side.

[Hip2bSquare]

18. That's my thought

They both have another election to win. They can't write off the magats just yet. They need those cult zombie walkers one more time.

4. And I demand a Pony that shits gold bars

Not gonna happen

[SheltieLover]

9. Hahaha!

Good one!

[iluvtennis]

17. Ditto. nt

[pfitz59]

5. I believe they see the writing on the wall

They are both going down in Jan.

[Mr. Sparkle]

6. It sounds like they are asking him to resign for failing to rig the election.

because there was no reported problems during the last few weeks.

[LisaL]

11. Sounds the same to me.

NT

[C Moon]

15. Yeah, it looks like a lot of them all the way up to Putin, are shocked as hell.

[japple]

7. Very interesting. I think Brad Raffensperger had an epiphany somewhere

along the way. We shall see.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. I guess each of these traitors to democracy

were handed a "dossier" chock full of all kinds of stuff and were "encouraged" to "cooperate"... or else.

[LisaL]

10. SOS is an elected position.

The SOS got elected in 2018. What right these two have to ask him to resign?

[mdbl]

12. Solid proof why neither of those assholes deserves to be a senator

get to work Georgia, get their sorry asses out of office.

[LisaL]

21. As if we needed any more proof.

NT

[mdbl]

25. true but talking to those with their heads in the sand that voted for him

just in case they're listening for a change.

[warmfeet]

14. We are fully capable of dealing with modern despot wannabes

just as we have dealt with despots in the past. We = humans.

It's our turn America. Let's deal with it.

[NCjack]

16. Hope that Ossoff gets to debate Perdue ask about the Soviet-style setup of GA SoS.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. They want to bring in a ringer.

Only possible explanation. They have someone they already worked out a plan with to insure Georgia retains republican senators. The problem is, that would involve a number of people who would never rat them out.

I hope he stands his ground.

[LisaL]

20. He already said he isn't going anywhere.

NT

[JohnnyRingo]

22. We'll see if Trump starts trashing him on Twitter.

Then we'll know there really is someone they want in that position, and we'll know where it came from. The guy Loeffer must have a shred of ethics and they can't rust him.

I always knew it was you Fredo who was a RINO.

[Warpy]

23. I love it when someone tells officious twits who are overstepping their job descriptions

to go to hell, in the most polite way possible, of course.

Don't those two buzzards know they're going to have to face a runoff? This is not likely to help them.

I just hope the runoff doesn't go their way. They're both horrible. GA deserves better.

24. I just sent Raffensperger a Thank You email. [e-mail]

Biden is saying he will be the President for the United States not just Blue states.

A Republican SOS told two people in his party to go stuff themselves to protect The People's right to have their votes counted.

This situation is making strange alliances, but so be it. I guess anyone on board with standing up to corruption and FOR the People is OK in my book. (He may piss me off later, but for now, way to go.)
