ATLANTA (AP) – Georgia’s governor is once again telling lawmakers he won’t call a special session to reverse Georgia’s election results and appoint 16 presidential candidates who will support Republican President Donald Trump instead of democratically elected President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump: If you don’t vote in Georgia, the Socialists will win
Republican Brian Kempe on Sunday met Republican Lt. Gov. In a joint statement with Geoff Duncan, he said that following the current relevant law would violate state law on naming voters by the General Assembly which asks the governor to certify voters after certifying the results.
Both said in their statement, November. Any attempt by the Legislature to reverse the process for the 3rd election will be unconstitutional and ordered by the courts immediately.

Trump and Kemp spoke by phone hours before a rally in Valdosta on Saturday. The president asked the camp to order an legislative session and the governor refused. According to a tweet from the governor, Trump also asked him to order an audit of absentee ballots from the presidential race in his state. Kemp has said he will not be able to do this because he has no right to interfere in the election process on Trump’s behalf.
Trump on Sunday tweeted more unsubstantiated allegations that Georgia’s election was rigged, blaming Camp and Duncan for inaction.
“Someone has told the so-called (saying he has no power to do anything!) To Governor @BrianCampji and his puppet Lieutenant Governor @Giofdunkanga, that they can easily solve this mess, and call for a WIN. Signature check and special session.” Easy! ”
Duncan and Secretary of State Brad Raffinsperger appeared on television on Sunday to defend the integrity of the election.

Duncan told CNN’s “State of the Union.” On said, “I am proud that we have been able to look at the three ricunts and see that this election is worthwhile.” “Was it perfect? Not sure. I don’t know if any election in the history of this country was fair. ”
“Right now, we don’t see anything that will overturn the will of the people here in Georgia,” Rafensperger told ABC.
Gabriel Sterling, who is in charge of implementing Georgia’s voting system, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Trump was inciting unrest.

“The president’s statements are false. They’re disinformation. They are instilling anger and fear in their supporters. And hell, I voted for him. The situation is getting worse and so is the environment that has been built up over the years, “said Sterling.
State legislators may call a special session on their own, but only if 60% of the members of both houses of the General Assembly request a session in writing. That is unlikely, especially since more than 40% of the current members of the state House are Democrats.
On Saturday, four Republican state senators, including William Ligon of Brunswick, Greg Dolezal of Cumming, Brandon Beach of Alpharetta, and Bert Jones of Jackson, filed a written request seeking to collect signatures to push for a special session. The four attended Trump’s rally in Valdosta on Saturday.
“I do not believe there is a will in the General Assembly for a special session,” said Raffensperge. He said if the legislators go ahead “they will rescind the will of the people.”
Camp and Duncan said going to court is the “only viable – and quickest option” for those challenging Georgia’s presidential election results.
