Today President @realDonaldTrump and I filed a lawsuit against @GaSecofState Brad Raffensperger contesting his certification of the Presidential election in Georgia. 1/15 Image
Our lawsuit does not rely on theories about the voting machines. These theories will be explored in other lawsuits. Instead, we painstakingly show thousands of examples of “low tech” voting irregularities and fraud sufficient in scale to place the election result in doubt. 2/15
We show that votes were cast by and counted from individuals who were not registered to vote, individuals who registered to vote after the deadline and individuals who registered but were not old enough to vote. 3/15
We show that votes were cast by and counted from convicted felons ineligible to register or vote, including inmates in correctional facilities. 4/15
We show that votes were cast by and counted from individuals who voted more than once and in the names of individuals who are no longer alive. 5/15
We show that votes were cast by and counted from individuals who claimed to reside within post office boxes. 6/15
We show that votes were cast by and counted from individuals who are registered and voted in more than one state. 7/15
We show that votes were cast by and counted from individuals who have moved to another state or moved to another county without re-registering as required by law. 8/15
We are asking the Court to order the audit of absentee signatures matches that @GaSecofState should have ordered weeks ago when first asked. 9/15
Under Georgia law, we must show that the number of unlawful votes exceeds the purported margin of victory. It does not require us to show for which candidate the unlawful votes were cast. 10/15
Georgia officials who have fecklessly asserted that the general election was an “amazing success” “with no credible evidence of irregularity” are undermining public confidence in the integrity of our elections. 11/15
We will only restore public confidence in our elections by moving to eradicate the systemic unlawfulness that this lawsuit exposes. 12/15
Every lawful vote must be counted and every unlawful vote rejected. Counting must be done in the open and in accordance with law. Elections officials who violate the law must be held to account. 13/15
Thankful for the hard working team of lawyers and experts who assembled the evidence. If anyone was wondering what I was doing when @LLinWood called me out earlier this week for not attending his midday “Stop the Steal” rally, I was helping them prepare this lawsuit. 14/15
I have joined this lawsuit in my capacity as a registered voter and Republican candidate for Presidential Elector because I care about the integrity of our elections. I am not seeking reimbursement of my legal fees from the Georgia Republican Party or the Trump campaign. 15/15

NPR deleted its first tweet calling Shinzo Abe a "divisive arch conservative" and then posted this tweet calling him an "ultranationalist." As if he were Tojo or Itagaki and not the four time elected leader of a modern democracy. May he rest in peace.

Okay, let’s consider the “evidence” offered by @GeorgiaStateLaw’s Professor @AnthonyMKreis, self described in his Twitter profile as an expert in constitutional law and civil rights:
1. Tours of the House office buildings were NOT prohibited on January 5. The professor is lying here, or as they might say in law school had he taken an oath before lying, perjuring himself.
2. More lying here. Legislators take people they do not personally know on tours all the time. But Congressman Loudermilk knew the family that visited his office on January 5. He met with them at his office and then walked them to the cafeteria where they had lunch together.

I assumed this was a lie or a hoax but it is not. The Biden and Zelensky governments were the only two votes against a Russian resolution condemning the glorification of Nazism. What!?!
In explaining the vote against the resolution, the United States Mission to the United Nations pointed to our Constitution and cited the “constitutional right to freedom of speech and the rights of and association, including by avowed Nazis.”
This resolution gives context to Putin’s bizarre claim that the Russian invasion was motivated by anti-Nazism and leaves me thinking that Biden and Zelensky fell into a somewhat obvious trap in opposing it.

The President’s election contest in Georgia, filed on December 4, was required by law to be heard within twenty days. This obviously did not happen. As of December 24, the case had not even been assigned to a judge who was authorized to hear it.
Earlier this week the case was assigned to a judge who scheduled a hearing for today - after the Electoral College votes had been counted and when the requested relief was no longer available.
The Georgia election contest was among the legal challenges the President withdrew yesterday after the Electoral College votes were counted and certified.

One of our monitors discovered a 9,626 vote error in the DeKalb County hand count. One batch was labeled 10,707 for Biden and 13 for Trump - an improbable margin even by DeKalb standards. The actual count for the batch was 1,081 for Biden and 13 for Trump.
Had this counting error not been discovered, Biden would have gained enough votes from this one batch alone to cancel out Trump’s gains from Fayette, Floyd and Walton.
We were limited to 1 monitor for every 10 counting tables and we were kept some distance from the tables. There is no telling what we missed under these unreasonable restrictions. The miscounted batch had been be signed off by two official counters.

At the @GaRepublicans State Headquarters monitoring reports from county tabulation centers. Problems with Republican and other public observers being allowed to view tabulation and canvass.
Fulton County told our observers last night to go home because they were closing up and then continued to count ballots in secret.
Today in Fulton County, they are operating a fork lift between the place the ballot scanners are located and the area our observers have been instructed to stand.
