President Donald Trump is going to make Georgia prove that the razor-thin margin by which current results show him losing the state to Democrat Joe Biden holds up under scrutiny.
Trump’s campaign announced Saturday that it wants a recount that includes signature matching, one of the key criteria designed to determine whether mail-in ballots are genuine.
After the first recount was completed Friday, Biden led Trump by 12,670 votes out of almost 5 million votes cast.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said that the Trump campaign was within its rights under Georgia law to seek a review of the ballots.
“Because the margin is still less than 0.5 percent, the President can request a recount after certification of the results. That recount will be conducted by rescanning all paper ballots,” he said in a statement Friday, according to National Review.
The campaign jumped at the chance on Saturday.
“Today, the Trump campaign filed a petition for recount in Georgia. We are focused on ensuring that every aspect of Georgia State Law and the U.S. Constitution are followed so that every legal vote is counted,” the campaign said in a statement.
“President Trump and his campaign continue to insist on an honest recount in Georgia, which has to include signature matching and other vital safeguards. Without signature matching, this recount would be a sham and again allow for illegal votes to be counted. If there is no signature matching, this would be as phony as the initial vote count and recount,” the campaign said.
“Let’s stop giving the People false results. There must be a time when we stop counting illegal ballots. Hopefully it is coming soon,” the campaign’s statement said.
I am firmly convinced President Donald J. Trump was re-elected, something VERY WRONG w/ the “missing” bags w/ millions of votes for President Trump!!!
The Democrats have lied and cheated at every opportunity. They break the law every time they prevent Republicans from verifying votes. They should all be arrested.
