Trump campaign taps Rep. Doug Collins to lead recount team in Georgia
Fox News ^ | 8 Nov 2020 | Thomas Barrabi

Posted on 11/08/2020 6:30:31 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

The recount will begin as soon as canvassing has ended, the campaign said.

The Trump campaign tapped Republican Rep. Doug Collins on Sunday to head its recount efforts in Georgia as the president’s team ramps up their legal challenge of election results in several battleground states.

“Republicans stand by the ideal that every eligible voter should be able to vote legally and have it be counted,” Collins said. “During the coming recount, we are confident we will find evidence of improperly harvested ballots and other irregularities that will prove that President Trump won Georgia fairly again on his way to re-election as President. Georgians deserve a free and open process, and they will get one.”

Biden became president-elect on Saturday after he surpassed the 270 electoral vote threshold with victories in Pennsylvania and Nevada. However, the Fox News Decision Desk has still not projected a winner in Georgia, where Biden leads Trump by a razor-thin margin of about 10,000 votes.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, announced last Friday that a recount would likely take place due to the thin margin. Under state law, candidates can request a recount if the margin separating two candidates is 0.5% or less.

The recount will begin as soon as canvassing has ended, the campaign said in a press release. A Georgia state judge threw out a Trump campaign lawsuit last week that claimed late-arriving ballots were improperly added to Biden’s totals.

Trump officials have claimed to have evidence of voting irregularities in several states, but have presented few concrete examples to date.

Any Georgia recount needs to include BOTH senate races.

These people never imagined that Trump’s support would rise to the levels it has. There is no way an incumbent could lose a state he carried just 4 years previously while receiving 60% more votes from the state. That is what we are being spoon fed. It’s utterly absurd! The Dems have overdone it. This fraud must be exposed!

And, Nationally, he has received several million more votes than 4 years ago. So, there is no referendum against him. The Biden votes are fraudulent.

Really? Because Fox news reported that? Is Fox mentioned in the Constitution?

agree Fox has gone lefty this last few years and need a civics lesson-their decision desk does not have any legal or constitutional basis to determine who is president elect. re “Biden became president-elect on Saturday after he surpassed the 270 electoral vote threshold with victories in Pennsylvania and Nevada.”

Biden became president-elect on Saturday. . . .

No, he did not. The election process is not over until it is concluded on January 6.

Before we can have a good, reliable recount, we need a ballot audit to toss all the ineligible ballots. Then count what’s left.

I do like being able to post here and I share the same feeling.

I thought Sharyl Attkisson said you don’t need proof to make a case for fraud.

Partner, 85% turnout in Arizona way too high. I smell a bunch of Bravo Sierra on this count.

Monday should be interesting, a regular blizzard of
litigation.
