Trump is now demanding that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp do the unattainable and use his emergency powers to overturn the election.
Trump tweeted:
Why gained’t Governor @BrianKempGA, the hapless Governor of Georgia, use his emergency powers, which may be simply executed, to overrule his obstinate Secretary of State, and do a match of signatures on envelopes. Will probably be a “goldmine” of fraud, and we’ll simply WIN the state….

….Additionally, shortly examine the variety of envelopes versus the variety of ballots. You might simply discover that there are a lot of extra ballots than there are envelopes. So easy and really easy to do. Georgia Republicans are offended, all Republicans are offended. Get it executed!

The envelope checking has been explained to Trump over and over again. Signatures are checked in Georgia when a voter requests an absentee poll. By state legislation, signatures aren’t checked after ballots are acquired. If an individual isn’t a legitimate voter, they’re weeded out earlier than they get a poll. Thus, there is no such thing as a fraud by way of signatures.
Trump can’t comprehend why anybody would observe the legislation. Gov. Brian Kemp can’t use his emergency powers to invalidate an election. Kemp’s, or every other governor, doesn’t have the facility to overturn an election. Each state has a legislation and a course of for figuring out an election winner. States can’t throw out outcomes as a result of the incumbent president misplaced and desires to remain in energy to keep away from legal indictment.
Donald Trump have to be paid consideration to as a result of tweets reminiscent of this one reveal that till Joe Biden takes workplace, the present president will stay a hazard and a risk to democracy.
