President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp use his emergency powers to overrule decisions made by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger concerning the Georgia recounts.
“Why won’t Governor Brian Kemp, the hapless Governor of Georgia, use his emergency powers, which can be easily done, to overrule his obstinate Secretary of State, and do a match of signatures on envelopes. It will be a “goldmine” of fraud, and we will easily WIN the state…”
President Donald Trump
Trump’s statement encapsulates the sentiment of many Republicans who believe that hand recounts are useless if they do not revisit the signature verification.
Challenges posed by Republicans claim that verifying the signatures will reveal evidence of fraud.
“Georgia Republicans are angry, all Republicans are angry. Get it done!” he wrote.
Raffensperger has claimed that the matching of signatures is no longer possible because the ballots have been separated from the outer envelope and that there is no way to re-combine them.
Trump has also suggested comparing the number of envelopes to ballots, claiming that unequal numbers would also reveal inconsistencies.
“Also, quickly check the number of envelopes versus the number of ballots,” he wrote. “You may just find that there are many more ballots than there are envelopes. So simple, and so easy to do.”
