This is absolutely bonkers.
Georgia's two Republican U.S. Senators are calling on the Republican Secretary of State to resign because they believe - without evidence - that he "failed to deliver honest and transparent elections." #gapol

I've seen a lot in my two years of covering Georgia elections but I never thought that I'd see an evidence-free assault on one of the most transparently-run elections in recent memory - with few reported issues - from two U.S. Senators. https://twitter.com/stphnfwlr/status/1325893672777510912?s=20
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THIS WILL BE TRUE.
According to the AP, only three times a recount in Georgia flipped the result the margins were in the few hundreds, not 10k+.
This is not reality, folks! https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1325896369534607360?s=20

Georgia's two Republican U.S. Senators are calling on the state's top election official — also a Republican — to resign Monday, after alleging "too many failures in Georgia elections this year" but without mentioning specifics to support their claims. https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/11/09/georgias-republican-senators-call-on-secretary-of-state-resign
"We have been clear from the beginning: Every legal vote cast should be counted, any illegal vote must not," the statement reads, without any evidence of illegal votes counting in this election. #gapol https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/11/09/georgias-republican-senators-call-on-secretary-of-state-resign
And here's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's lengthy, fiery response to the request he resign, starting with "Let me start by saying that is not going to happen. The voters of Georgia hired me, and the voters will be the one to fire me." #gapol

In addition to calling claims "laughable," the SOS fires back at the new interest in election admin.
"As a Republican, I am concerned about Republicans keeping the U.S. Senate. I recommend that Senators Loeffler and Perdue start focusing on that." https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/11/09/georgias-republican-senators-call-on-secretary-of-state-resign

Perdue and Loeffler are the latest Republicans to level generic accusations of wrongdoing in elections across the country without providing evidence to support it. https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/11/09/georgias-republican-senators-call-on-secretary-of-state-resign
Gov. Brian Kemp, who was Secretary of State for 8 years, now wades in and gives a non-statement statement that says it’s a “wake up call” and the SoS needs to look at all allegations (they are) and count every legal vote (which they say they are as well) https://twitter.com/CodyHallGA/status/1325920145924116481
Fair Fight weighs in. https://twitter.com/fairfightaction/status/1325924622471221250?s=20
Meanwhile, the SoS office took 30 mins today to debunk misinformation about Georgia's vote counting process, provided an update on the latest number of ballots and said all Georgians should have faith that the state's $104 million voting system is correct. https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/11/09/georgias-republican-senators-call-on-secretary-of-state-resign
For everything it’s worth, Perdue and Kemp voted by absentee ballot this election. Loeffler canceled hers to vote early in person. https://twitter.com/stphnfwlr/status/1325931639566966791
