Judge Denies Donald Trump's Request to Decertify Joe Biden's Win in Georgia

President Donald Trump's last-minute legal bid to overturn the 2020 election result in Georgia was denied by a federal judge on Tuesday.

Ruling from the bench, U.S. District Judge Mark Cohen rejected the president's request for an emergency injunction to order the state legislature to choose a new slate of electors before the mandated congressional count takes place on January 6.

The lawsuit was filed by Trump on New Year's Eve and accused Georgia officials of violating the state's election code in the handling and counting of mail-in ballots. The lawsuit also alleged state leaders conducted an "improper certification of elections."

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, two Republican officials who have been attacked by Trump post-election, said in a court filing that Trump's requests were "absurd." The duo also said this latest lawsuit was the result of a "manufactured crisis."

Georgia has conducted numerous audits of the 2020 election, all of which found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. The state has now certified President-elect Joe Biden's electoral win on two occasions.

The ruling from Judge Cohen comes just days after a recording of a phone call released by The Washington Post revealed the president pressured Raffensperger on Saturday to change the state's 2020 election results.

"All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state," Trump said. The president lost the race in Georgia to Biden by 11,779 votes.

Well, that’s certainly true. Manufactured by the Democrats and their willing accomplices.

Obama appointed judges should be required to recuse themselves in cases involving President Trump and the 2020 election.

I will be disappointed if President Trump doesn’t go all out within his power. Time will soon tell.

The sky has not been blue all day in DC. Spitting rain in places, cold, gloomy and damp.

The poster needs to identify that it is NOT current photo.

We can only hope there are consequences in this lifetime for the black robed tyrants.

(Yes, even when motivated by fear and cowardice, their actions are tyrannical.)
