Trump told reporters that the system in Georgia is fraudulent and actively discouraged his supporters from voting in the states Senate runoff.
Trump was asked, If you dont think the presidential election was legitimate if you think that it was stolen, what confidence do you expect voters to have when they go to the polls to vote for say Kelly Loeffler or Purdue?
Trump gave the one answer that Republicans fear the most, Well, I told him today I think youre dealing with a very fraudulent system. Im very worried about that. They are tremendous people. Kelly Loeffler, David Perdue are tremendous people. They should be in the senate, but I told him today, I said listen, you have a fraudulent system. You have a system where the flick of a switch or the putting in of a new chip can change the course of history. And you have to be very careful. I read this morning where Stacey Abrams has 850,000 ballots accumulated. Thats called harvesting. Youre not allowed to harvest, but I understand the secretary of state who was really hes an enemy of the people. The secretary of state and whether hes a Republican are not.
The reason why Republicans at the top of Georgias political leadership have been standing behind Joe Bidens win is that they dont like Republicans to believe the false fraud claims that the president is making and not show up to vote in the Senate runoff election.
Trump attacked mail-in voting and discouraged his supporters from voting by mail. Those attacks may have cost him the election. He is now telling his supporters not to show up and vote in two Senate runoff elections that look to be very close.

(46,104 posts)Trump is discouraging Republican voters from voting for the Run-Off Elections.
But he's also promising at least one rally. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142636869
Why? To rally his MAGAts NOT to vote?

(11,495 posts)donations to him, and then go on a rage about losing, and not let the two senators running even talk. It would be great though if he told everyone not to vote because he is pissed at the whole party for not "cheating" so he could win!

(5,124 posts)the candidate or not. Especially now that he's lost the election. He doesn't give a damn. If he has a rally, it will be a big whine session about how the election was rigged and stolen from him.

If Republicans were smart theyed ask the house to expedite new impeachment articles to frag his ass ASAP before he ruins their party for years to come.

(23,953 posts)as with much of the MAGA bullshit that tumbles out of the filthy pie-holes of Trump and his proxies, it's a smokescreen, probably intended to obscure coordination between Trump and the GA governor and SOS to GOTV for Republicans while suppressing Democratic votes in the runoff.
CatWoman
(79,302 posts)the GA SOS wrote this self pitying editorial for USA Today -- I think yesterday.
He bragged about how smoothly the election went.
It went smoothly due to Abrams' efforts - not his.
She sued his ass several times to ensure better equipment and election procedures.

(938 posts)Trump says he'll travel to Georgia to support Republican Senate candidates in runoff election
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump said Thursday he will travel to Georgia to support the state's Republican Senate candidates ahead of the January 5 runoff election.
"Speaking of Georgia, I'll be going there," the President said after his Thanksgiving video teleconference call with US service members, as he baselessly railed against the integrity of the state's election results.
White House press secretary Judd Deere said the President's visit is scheduled for Saturday, December 5.
"Maybe I'll go twice," Trump said at one point, noting that he'd love to do it in a stadium, "But you can't, because of Covid."

(4,438 posts)so it must be rigged for Biden now. Only paper ballots don't lie. And even with all the bullshit he and his puppets pulled trying to hinder the vote, he couldn't overcome the number of people that came out for Biden.

(9,899 posts)Ill believe Shitler is betting his survival on demonstrating to the GOP that he now controls their rubes. Its his only shot at remaining relevant, and any power leveraged from his political standing will be used to protect, and of course enrich himself.
Hell toss two senate seats in the dumpster to show he can and will put the hurt on them to keep everyone in line.
Im guessing it is his intent that he will be the focus of the opposition to the Democratic POTUS-Senate-House trifecta.
