Whether or not Trump “won Georgia”, he did not win the votes of Georgia’s electors who voted for Biden in the only Presidential election in the constitution - the one on December 14, 2020.

If President Trump won Georgia, this case in Georgia would be dismissed.
If President Trump won Georgia and the election fraud was allowed to be exposed, he would have won on December 14, 2020.
Yet, even if the State of Georgia cared as nobly as you and I do about the crucial Constitutional function of the Federal Electors--as opposed to a popular poll of citizens--it would still have to deal with the consequences if, under Georgia law, those electors themselves were fraudulently chosen. Where there is clear evidence of fraud, I think the Feds would be obliged to take a pass on accepting ballots created under obviously murky circumstances, rather than taint the national election with proven criminality.
'Nother words, if the state has legally defined its process of choosing electors for a Federal election (which, as a sovereign State of the Union it is qualified to do) but the election was fraudulently conducted, I would argue that the popular vote is still subject to a basic smell-test in cooperation with the Feds.
Trump-related defendants do NOT have to prove that Trump won.
The prosecution MUST prove - beyond a reasonable doubt - that Trump lost or Biden won.
Repeat - beyond a reasonable doubt!
How many ineligible voters voted in GA, WI, and AZ?
Unknown.
How many ballots in GA, WI, and AZ, had no verifiable chain of custody?
Unknown.
Trump lost each of those states by a fraction of 1%.
If Trump wins those three states, the Electoral Vote is 270-270.
The House of Representatives [+5 majority GOP delegations] elects Trump to a second term.
If Trump wins, then none of these crimes would have happened.
“Fraud vitiates everything.”
“Whether or not Trump “won Georgia”, he did not win the votes of Georgia’s electors who voted for Biden in the only Presidential election in the constitution - the one on December 14, 2020.”
Such a silly argument.
If Trump won the GA popular vote, that means GA allowed the wrong slate of Electors (Biden Electors) to cast the state’s Electoral college votes.
A slate of Electors was appointed for each candidate, one slate in case Trump won, and another slate in case Biden won. If GA certified the wrong candidate as the winner, then the wrong slate of Electors was allowed to cast the state’s Electoral college votes.
The popular vote is what was supposed to determine which slate of Electors voted in the December 14th, 2020 election.
So, it is silly to argue that the state’s popular election was not the one that mattered.
Which is irrelevant to the topic, and Floyd's legal argument.
The State of Georgia's case relies on the defendant's trying to overturn an election. If in fact a review of the election process now were to show that Georgia's election did not support the electors they sent, then Georgia's case against all of the defendants would collapse.
That has nothing to do with what happened subsequently with the electors, or the rest of the federal election process in 2020.
