Trump Calls Georgia Senate Races 'Illegal and Invalid'
Source: MSN
ATLANTA President Trump took to Twitter Friday evening to make the unfounded assertion that Georgias two Senate races are illegal and invalid, an argument that could complicate his efforts to convince his supporters to turn out for Republican candidates in the two runoff races that will determine which party controls the Senate.
The president is set to hold a rally in Dalton, Ga., on Monday, the day before Election Day, and Georgia Republicans are hoping he will focus his comments on how crucial it is for Republicans to vote in large numbers for Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, the states two incumbent Republican senators.
But Mr. Trump has continued to make the false claim that Georgias election system was rigged against him in the Nov. 3 general election. Some Republican leaders are afraid that his supporters will take the presidents argument seriously, and decide that voting in a corrupt system is not worth their time, a development that could hand the election to the Democrats.
Some strategists and political science experts in the state have said Mr. Trumps assault on Georgias voting system may be at least partly responsible for the relatively light Republican turnout in the conservative strongholds of northwest Georgia, where Dalton is, in the early voting period that ended Thursday.

While it is not a surprise that Trump thinks that any election is invalid, what is amazing is that so many Republicans from Georgia are turning out to vote for Perdue and Loefflers efforts to ignore Georgia's election results.

(630 posts)This sounds like a pre-emptive excuse for losing, again. Republicans are acting scared this week. I think, i hope, maybe there's been a real move toward the democrats in this stimulus debate.

(460 posts)Thank you Donald. You reminded me to make donations to both Georgian Democratic Senatorial candidates (which I did right before I posted this!). Keep twittering and we will all keep donating to both these fine honest Americans.

(9,313 posts)Because, of course, it's only elections won by Dems that are "invalid."
Unfortunately, not all voter suppression tactics in Georgia have been blocked. These elections are still "stealable" by enemies of free and fair elections.
Make a contribution to GOTV efforts now!
