Donald Trump has called the Georgia runoff election “illegal” despite a record three million people already having cast their ballots early.

The outgoing president took to Twitter to brand the special election,
which will decide control of the US Senate, as “both illegal and invalid.”

Mr Trump’s attack on the election came as he falsely tweeted an incorrect claim that the state legislatures were “not in any way responsible for
the massive changed made to the voting process.”

This is an argument that Republicans and right-wing commentators have unsuccessfully made to try and invalidate Democrat election wins in battleground states in November.

The president has also falsely claimed that voter fraud in the state cost
him victory over Joe Biden, which has been rejected by both Georgia’s Republican governor and secretary of state.

A signature audit also found no fraud in the presidential election voting
in Cobb County, which was key to Mr Biden carrying the battleground state.

Republicans have expressed concern that Mr Trump’s attacks on the state’s Republican leadership and on the election process will cost them the
critical election

Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are involved in tight races
against incumbent senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.

If Mr Ossoff and Mr Warnock can win both races it will give Democrats
control of the senate as vice-president elect Kamala Harris will break all
ties once sworn in.

The Republicans need to win just one of the seats in order to give Mitch McConnell control of the high chamber again.

More than 3 million people in the state have already voted ahead of. The 5 January election, smashing the previous turnout record for a statewide
runoff.

Turnout is down compared to the 3.65 million people who had already voted
by this stage in the general election, but way up on the previous record
of 2.137 million for a runoff in 2008.

Hundreds of millions of dollars have poured into the state and it is set
to be one for the most expensive elections in US history.

Mr Trump will headline a rally in Dalton, Georgia, on Monday night, and Mr Biden and Ms Harris will campaign with the Democratic candidates on Sunday
and Monday.

Mr Perdue has been forced to suspend his campaigning as he is quarantining after coming into “close contact” with a member of his campaign who tested positive for Covid.

Mr Perdue and his wife have both so far tested negative for the virus.

### - wasn't even gonna mention that 'sore-loser' and his big/beautiful
bad vibes so early on in the year seeing as he's out on his ass in only a
few days time anyway, but this is possibly quite important in the sense
that voters on the left have maybe (just maybe) finally realised their own power in terms of having vastly greater numbers over the minority right?
and thus of their 'need' to vote??

the point being that if everyone for the left made sure they all voted
every single time, for everything! - like those on the right always do -
the right-wing would quite possibly never get into office again!?

i mean, with the demo's running the show, the first thing they should do
over the next 8 years should be to install & confirm an infallible
electronic voting system that could, for example, be accessed via people's online bank accounts for security purposes as they tend to have the best
online security currently (an extra/linked page) and which could be
upgraded for election purposes as well (actively monitored by
supercomputer during elections for example) plus other super-secured alternatives for online voting too! e.g., via social security/welfare ID
cards and such like for identification purposes...

add to that an upgraded postal voting system as well that more openly ensures/confirms security & verification, and then those that still like
(or have to for whatever reasons) vote in person would become a vastly
reduced number that didn't also then have to queue up for hours to vote as well, thus removing all the obstacles to casting votes + making it simpler
all round for people everywhere to vote every single time!

iow: make it 'easier' for people to vote for christsakes! and then
encourage them to do so! (in australia for example, it's against the law
NOT to vote??)

the very 'opposite' of what the right-wing have been doing all along
because they KNOW they're in the minority and as such were forced to do
shit in order to level the playing field!

add to that a mandatory 10-year jail term for 'anyone' caught cheating and
the chances of fraud would evaporate!

this IS the digital age after all no?

well fuckin' USE it then already ya knuckleheads! LOL !

geez ;)
