Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is resisting calls for his own party to resign. The Republican explains that the accusations are “ridiculous” and that there will be no resignation. His fellow party members, two senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, accused him of mismanagement and lack of transparency in a joint statement on Monday and called for his resignation. “We believe that failure must be revealed, even if it is in his own party,” said the two Republicans who are currently in the US Senate for the state of Georgia. They did not provide any specific information about the alleged misconduct. Georgia’s electoral vote is likely to be for Republican Joe Biden, who leads with about 11,400 votes. An unpleasant surprise for Republicans, for whom Georgia has historically been a safe bet in the election.

+++ Trump attorneys file Pennsylvania lawsuit +++
The campaign team of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has filed a lawsuit against the counting of votes for alleged electoral irregularities in the federal court of Pennsylvania. The reason given in the complaint is that the vote-by-mail system in Pennsylvania “does not have the necessary transparency and verifiability” that apply to voting at polling stations.
