President Donald Trump and Georgia GOP Chairman David Shafer filed a lawsuit, Friday, against Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger contesting his certification of the 2020 election results.
Shafer announced the filing of the suit on Twitter, saying that the suit does not address allegations of voting machine glitches, but rather focusses on several "low tech" examples of voting irregularities, adding that the summation of these tangible examples are enough to swing elections results.
"Our lawsuit does not rely on theories about the voting machines. These theories will be explored in other lawsuits. Instead, we painstakingly show thousands of examples of “low tech” voting irregularities and fraud sufficient in scale to place the election result in doubt," Shafer tweeted.
He continues, saying that the lawsuit demonstrates that votes were cast and handled by people who were not registered to vote, weren't registered by the deadline, were too young to legally vote and who voted more than once, along with several other irregularities.
"Georgia officials who have fecklessly asserted that the general election was an 'amazing success' “with no credible evidence of irregularity” are undermining public confidence in the integrity of our elections," Shafer asserted.
"We will only restore public confidence in our elections by moving to eradicate the systemic unlawfulness that this lawsuit exposes," he continued.
President Trump is scheduled to speak later this evening in Georgia at the "Victory Rally" likely addressing his recent tireless efforts to verify the legitimacy of election results in Georgia. He will speak alongside Georgia Senate runoff candidates Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Sen. David Perdue.
