Former rivals Doug Collins and Kelly Loeffler hit the campaign trail together for the first time this morning at a gun range in north Georgia. He endorsed her on election night, putting an end to a bitter yearlong Republican-on-Republican feud between the two. #gapol#gasen
Collins opens with a swipe at @ReverendWarnock: “There is no such thing as a pro-choice pastor. What you have is a lie from the bed of Hell. It is time to send it back to Ebenezer Baptist Church.” #gapol#gasen
He closes by predicting “Republicans rising up again from the ashes” in the runoffs.
“This was not a defeat — this was a victory. Because come January 5, the nation and the world is gonna see Georgia stand up” and elect Perdue & Loeffler. #gapol#gasen
Happy Thanksgiving. Misspelling “district” twice right out the gate,
Trump’s ex-lawyer Sidney Powell filed a lawsuit alleging that as many as 96,000 votes were illegally counted in Georgia without showing substantiated evidence of her claims. #gapolbloomberg.com/news/articles/…
It claims w/o evidence “old-fashioned ballot-stuffing” through computer software and “egregious” conduct in five of the most GOP counties in Georgia, but never bothers to specify what allegedly happened in each. #gapol
It was brought on behalf of five Georgia Republicans who would have been electors had Trump won, and two party officials: Jason Shepherd of the Cobb GOP and B.J. Van Gundy, assistant secretary of the state party. #gapol
Echoing Trump, @sendavidperdue is asking for the impossible - a recount “in which signatures on absentee ballot envelopes are properly matched and verified to their signature on the registration.” #gapol
County election officials verify signatures when they receive absentee ballots, but after that point, it’s impossible to match ballots back to voters due to ballot secrecy protections guaranteed by the Georgia Constitution. #gapol#gasen
Now the @GaRepublicans leadership gets in on the action, with a letter making the same impossible demand — “an immediate audit of the absentee ballots cast in the 2020 General Election. This audit must include verification of signature match.” #gapol
Meanwhile, the Pence caravan went the wrong direction on 285 - east instead of west - and is now back in the right direction trying to ease its way through gridlocked traffic to Dobbins Air Reserve Base. #gapol
We are moving again, but here’s a glimpse of the gridlock from the great @AlyssaNo_L#gapol
.@VP Mike Pence has arrived in Georgia for a two-stop tour to campaign for Republican Sens. Loeffler and Perdue ahead of Jan. 5 runoffs for control of the Senate. #gapol#gasen
In Canton, @SecretarySonny quotes Winston Churchill and tells a crowd of hundreds to “never, ever, ever, ever, ever give up.” (I might have missed an ever or two.) #gapol#gasen
