Trump is now demanding that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp do the inconceivable and use his emergency powers to overturn the election.
Trump tweeted:
Why gained’t Governor @BrianKempGA, the hapless Governor of Georgia, use his emergency powers, which might be simply accomplished, 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, rapidly verify the variety of envelopes versus the variety of ballots. You could simply discover that there are a lot of extra ballots than there are envelopes. So easy and really easy to do. Georgia Republicans are offended, all Republicans are offended. Get it accomplished!

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 will not be a sound voter, they’re weeded out earlier than they get a poll. Thus, there is no such thing as a fraud by way of signatures.
Trump can’t comprehend why anybody would comply with the regulation. Gov. Brian Kemp can’t use his emergency powers to invalidate an election. Kemp’s, or another governor, doesn’t have the ability 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 desires to remain in energy to keep away from prison 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 menace to democracy.
