Trump-Backed Perdue Gets Behind Another Big Lie Lawsuit After Launching Georgia Gov Bid
Fresh off of announcing his campaign for Georgia governor, former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) on Friday doubled down on his push of the Big Lie of a stolen 2020 president election by filing a lawsuit over absentee ballots in Fulton County, further signaling that his bid for Georgia governor centers on proving his loyalty to former President Trump.
In his lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Perdue alleges that through unlawful acts and omissions, election officials in Fulton County circumvented the majority vote of the people of the State of Georgia and thereby affected the outcome of the statewide General Election on Nov. 3, 2020 in several races.
Perdue also takes aim at Fulton County Board of Registration Elections director Richard Barron and his staffers, arguing that they negligently, grossly negligently or intentionally engaged in and/or permitted multiple unlawful election acts.
Perdues lawsuit comes just days after he launched his challenge against Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who has been targeted by Trump for refusing to play along with his election fraud falsehoods. Perdue has made clear that he is centering his campaign around Trumps bogus claims, telling Axios last week that he wouldnt have signed off on his states 2020 election results if he were governor at the time.
