Trump demands Georgia elections official overturn his defeat in hourlong call. ‘The data you have is wrong,’ Raffensperger replies. More on this pre-runoff push to reverse Trump's defeat here: #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
“We believe we do have an accurate election,” Raffensperger said at one point.

“No you don’t. No. No you don’t. You don’t have it — not even close," Trump replied. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
Trump suggests the Republican #gasen candidates will go down in flames if Raffensperger doesn't reverse his election defeat. “It’s going to have a big impact on Tuesday if you guys don’t get this thing straightened out fast.” #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
Trump to Raffensperger: "They’re laughing at you. You’ve taken a state that’s a Republican state and you’ve made it almost impossible for a Republican to win because of cheating – because they cheated like nobody’s ever cheated before." #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
Says Democratic Rep. @Carolyn4GA7, just sworn in to represent a suburban Atlanta district: “This is an outrage. I will use every power in my authority to reject Trump's desperate attacks on Georgia’s voters and our elections." #gapol
Atlanta Mayor @KeishaBottoms just now at a rally for Senate Democrats in Savannah:
"There's some audio of him calling the secretary of state, at times pleading with him to turn over the results of our elections here in Georgia. But we know that's not going to happen." #gasen
Senate Democratic candidate Jon @ossoff in Savannah:

“When the president of the United States calls up Georgia elections officials and tries to intimidate them to change the results of the election ... that is a direct attack on our democracy...” #gapol #gasen
After a recording shows Trump badgered Raffensperger to “find” nearly 12,000 votes to overturn the election results, the head of the Georgia GOP responds by venting outrage that the call was recorded in the first place ... #gapol

The polls are open in Georgia! A reminder of what's at stake in today's runoffs: Control of the US Senate and the fate of Biden's legislative agenda.

No biggie.

Relief might be one of the most common emotions today
John Paul Jones Jr., 72, voted for the #gasen Rs in Macon. “I’mma go on, and get it over with,” Jones told the @ajc’s Carly Wanna. "Both sides make me sick” he said, citing the barrage of negative ads. Still, in his 54 years as a voter, he knows “that’s typical” politics. Image

.@GovKemp responds: “Let me tell you what I've been focused on today and I think it’s what Georgians want me to be focused on — and that is making sure if they need a hospital bed, they're going to get one.” #gapol Image

Georgia’s audit of signatures on absentee ballot envelopes has done nothing to stop the president from attacking the integrity of the state’s vote. #gapol

Perdue’s camp told me last week that since his Senate term ends on Jan. 3 – two days before the runoff vote – he can’t participate in any Senate business until the runoff results are certified, a process that will take weeks. #gapol #gasen
(Also, Trump’s message amplified a liberal operative who is openly working to sink the GOP incumbents in the #gasen runoffs. So there’s that.) #gapol
