Trump is now demanding that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp do the unimaginable and use his emergency powers to overturn the election.
Trump tweeted:
Why received’t Governor @BrianKempGA, the hapless Governor of Georgia, use his emergency powers, which will be simply carried out, to overrule his obstinate Secretary of State, and do a match of signatures on envelopes. Will probably be a “goldmine” of fraud, and we are going to simply WIN the state….

….Additionally, shortly test the variety of envelopes versus the variety of ballots. Chances are you’ll simply discover that there are a lot of extra ballots than there are envelopes. So easy and really easy to do. Georgia Republicans are indignant, all Republicans are indignant. Get it carried out!

The envelope checking has been explained to Trump over and over again. Signatures are checked in Georgia when a voter requests an absentee poll. By state regulation, signatures aren’t checked after ballots are obtained. If an individual just isn’t a sound voter, they’re weeded out earlier than they get a poll. Thus, there isn’t any fraud when it comes to signatures.
Trump can’t comprehend why anybody would observe the regulation. Gov. Brian Kemp can’t use his emergency powers to invalidate an election. Kemp’s, or every other governor, doesn’t have the facility to overturn an election. Each state has a regulation and a course of for figuring out an election winner. States can’t throw out outcomes as a result of the incumbent president misplaced and wishes to remain in energy to keep away from legal indictment.
Donald Trump should be paid consideration to as a result of tweets equivalent to this one reveal that till Joe Biden takes workplace, the present president will stay a hazard and a risk to democracy.
