With these letters, Georgia’s entire Republican Congressional delegation+state Republican Party are all pushing - without any specific evidence - that there are irregularities that cloud the state’s election AND somehow only affected 3 GOP candidates that didn’t win/win outright. https://twitter.com/garepublicans/status/1326255088101371907
Our @gpbnews story: In a pair of letters sent to the secretary of state’s office Monday, the Georgia Republican Party+the state’s 2021 Republican House delegation continue to claim irregularities w/the November election without providing specifics. #gapol https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/11/10/battleground-blog-georgia-gop-doubles-down-on-evidence-free-election-concerns
The first letter is asking for a hand recount of the nearly 5 million ballots cast in the election — but a new State Election Board rule passed earlier this year calls for the votes to be retabulated using scanners. https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/11/10/battleground-blog-georgia-gop-doubles-down-on-evidence-free-election-concerns
YES they misspelled "Georgia" as George but the more important part is most of the state's top lawmakers are trying to actively undermine confidence in the best-run election in recent years without citing any specific evidence. https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/11/10/battleground-blog-georgia-gop-doubles-down-on-evidence-free-election-concerns
Among vague allegations w/o support: dead+ineligible people voted, double voting, unsigned absentee ballots, people were denied the opportunity of the right to vote, observers were blocked and bipartisan vote review panels did not include Republicans. https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/11/10/battleground-blog-georgia-gop-doubles-down-on-evidence-free-election-concerns
