Georgia’s motion to dismiss Sidney Powell’s lawsuit: “Much like the mythological kraken monster after which plaintiffs have named this lawsuit, their claims of election fraud and malfeasance belong more to the kraken’s realm of mythos than they do to reality.” #gapol Image
Oh, and check out the burn on the footnote: Image

In a separate filing, Democratic attorneys back up the state’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit by eviscerating the “wildly unqualified” witnesses in Powell’s complaint. Among them is someone known only as “Spyder” — making it quite impossible to verify his/her credentials. #gapol Image

Trump opens his #gasen rally with a lie: “You know we won Georgia, just so you understand.” A crowd of thousands chants “four more years.” #gapol
Trump gives the #gasen candidates what they want: “We are in the most important congressional runoff, probably in American history ...” Calls it a battle between “extreme far left” Democrats and conservative Republicans. “We’ve been cheated but we will still win.” #gapol
Now he’s devoting his speech to his election grievances, claiming that Biden couldn’t have won because, among other reasons, he drew a small crowd to a recent speech. #gapol

Rob Henderson, awaiting Pence’s arrival: “The election should be the most secure thing ever. I don’t know if it’s rigged or what, but it needs to be more secure than your iPhone. But I’m still voting in January. There are problems in gvt, but we still participate in it.” #gasen
Steven Janus hopes Trump reassures Republicans.
“It’s hard to ignore these allegations. The issue here is that none of the core problems have been addressed. The confidence in the election is shaken. But I think the president and @VP coming here will help.” #gapol #gasen
Cassie Conway plans to vote despite her misgivings.

“I just want my vote to count. I’m worried it’s not. I’m going to vote in the runoffs, but I’m very concerned. I just don’t want Biden to win and for us to be a Communist country.” #gapol #gasen

A crowd of hundreds is gathered at an Alpharetta park to hear from Sidney Powell, the attorney disavowed by the Trump campaign, and others push his false narrative of a “stolen” election.
Listen to that roar of applause as Powell is introduced ...
