As the president, in his last three weeks in office, escalates the false and unhinged claims about the election he lost by a substantial margin, here are some quick factual points, this time about GA, just to anchor us back to reality. /1

1. Georgia has all paper ballots. Every single ballot is paper. And every single paper ballot has been counted THREE times. One of those times, every single ballot was reviewed by bipartisan teams of humans (not the voting machines). Every count confirms Biden won. /2

2. About 25% of all ballots in November were mail ballots in GA (~1.3M), and the signatures were checked twice and confirmed. A signature audit was just completed yesterday, confirming the integrity of mail ballots and that the signature checks were 99.99% accurate. /3

3. Election laws and procedures in GA have been passed by a Republican-dominated legislature, signed by a Republican governor, and enforced by a Republican Secretary of State, all of whom have stated that they supported the president's re-election. /4

4. These laws and procedures were in place for months or years, and Trump and his allies waited weeks after the election they lost to challenge those rules and procedures. /5

5. There have been at least 6 cases brought by Trump and his allies in GA since the election, and they've lost them all, on the merits, some before Republican- and Trump-appointed judges. They have failed to prove even a single case of voter fraud. /6

6. Finally, and I don't believe I have to say this, but Brad Raffensperger's brother is not connected to China. Because Brad Raffensperger doesn't have a brother. Brad Raffensperger's imaginary brother is as much a fantasy as the claims of election fraud. /7

The 2020 election was the most secure and transparent election in US history, thanks to the efforts of R and D election off'ls all over the country. Biden won by a wide margin. Trump cannot subvert the clear will of the people, and Biden will be president on Jan. 20. /END
