President Trump urged a “hapless” Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to overrule Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on the matter of matching ballot signatures during the state’s recount effort.
Both Kemp and Raffensperger are Republicans.
Georgia adopted emergency rules ahead of the election to protect the privacy of the voter by calling for the separation of the ballot from the envelope.
Meaning, as Raffensperger has insisted, “matching the signature on the outer envelope to the absentee ballot on the inside is impossible.”
The President’s campaign has asserted for quite some time that any recount in Georgia “would be a sham” without signature matching.
“Why won’t Governor [Brian Kemp], the hapless Governor of Georgia, use his emergency powers, which can be easily done, to overrule his obstinate Secretary of State, and do a match of signatures on envelopes,” Trump tweeted.
“It will be a ‘goldmine’ of fraud, and we will easily WIN the state,” he claimed.
The President also suggested it would be “simple” to just try to match up the number of ballots with the number of envelopes, with a greater number of ballots indicating fraudulent activity.

Tell me why they can’t match the signatures. How is that impossible.
Buck Sexton played the pathetic comments of the Republican Lt. Governor in Georgia last night. The guy saying Trump has dominated the scene and its time to “move on”. I sort of agree with Mr. Geoff Duncan but the reason Trump has “dominated” is because folks like Geoff Duncan have in essence “wimped out”.
Should have just voted for Stacey Abrams.
I agree with President Trump on this. What a disappointment some of these so called Republicans have been.
Rusty, your clickbait mental retardation blog left off all this text that you didn’t write. Let me help.

….Also, quickly check the number of envelopes versus the number of ballots. You may just find that there are many more ballots than there are envelopes. So simple, and so easy to do. Georgia Republicans are angry, all Republicans are angry. Get it done!

Trump Slams Brian Kemp As Campaign Files 5th Recount Request
The Trump campaign made a 5th request to Raffensperger to perform an “immediate audit of the signatures on all absentee ballot applications and absentee ballot envelopes received” during the election.
A statement indicates the campaign believes there are “between 38,250 and 45,626 illegal votes from the absentee ballots alone.”
Certified results indicate Biden won the state of Georgia by 12,670 votes.
“It is not possible for you to accurately certify the results in the presidential race from the November 3, 2020, election until and unless there is a thorough audit of the signatures, which we have now requested four times in writing prior to this request,” a statement by Trump campaign attorneys reads.
“You cannot in good faith conclude the ongoing statutory recount until you have instituted a signature matching audit.”
In an interview over the weekend, President Trump indicated he was “ashamed” that he had endorsed Brian Kemp in his gubernatorial race against fictitious governor Stacey Abrams.

Judge Blocks Plan To Erase Dominion Voting Machines in Georgia
Meanwhile, a judge in Georgia blocked plans to wipe or reset voting machines used in three counties in the state while disputes are being litigated.
The order applies to Dominion voting machines in Cobb, Gwinnett and Cherokee counties, but does not apply to Georgia’s other 156 counties.
“Georgia’s election process depends entirely on voting machines, tabulators and software purchased from Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (‘Dominion’) that was compromised,” a Republican-led lawsuit reads.
“Computerized vote recording and tabulations are controlled by software programs that were designed to cheat, and which were open to human manipulation,” it continues.
Let’s see if Big Tech censors a mainstream news story about a new court order forcing the sequestering and preservation of Dominion voting machines in Georgia.

The judge has given Dominion until Wednesday “to file a brief setting forth in detail the factual bases they have, if any, against allowing … forensic inspections” of the machines in the three aforementioned counties.
Kemp and Raffensperger are both named as defendants in the lawsuit.
Dominion has maintained it is “physically impossible” to switch votes on their machines.
In their response to the lawsuit, Dominion argued that “allowing such forensic inspections would pose substantial security and proprietary/trade secret risks.”

Trump in my opinion at this point shoukd NOT be promoting either of the Senate candidates. He is doing that and I don’t understand why
Both parties have been corrupted. This election is obviously a mob shakedown operation.
We need gridlock! We need those two Senators to make Biden a lameduck.
Exactly! The worst thing the Democrats fear is a GOP controlled Senate where they can’t actually push through their radical agenda. We need to get those two Senators and deal with the GOP later.
Perdue and Loeffler are the EPITOME of NeverTrumpers! Collins was the Trump loyalist running. These clowns are in the tank with Kemp.

Maybe you are right...but the time is after December 14th. Until then at least bluff not voting so the establishment will jump on board to fight. AND if they won’t fight for us, Im not fighting for them. Period.
