Attorney Sidney Powell took to Twitter on Tuesday night to post an open letter to Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Rafensparger requesting a zoom meeting, where state officials decided not to “audit the actual audit” during the recount.
Powell, who recently said he is not working directly with President Trump’s legal team in his efforts and instead represents “WeThePeople,” is criticizing both Republicans Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Rafansperger.
He told Fox Business’ Lou Dobbs on Tuesday that he expects to file a lawsuit Wednesday and described it as a “huge document.”
“Defendants will be the future of Georgia, for which they are responsible, presumably, for ensuring that elections in Georgia are held properly,” he said. “And there are countless incidents of voter fraud and election fraud in Georgia.”
He said he expects the extra suits to roll.
Raff Fensperger read on Powell’s tweet, “Please consider this open record act request for today’s #ZoomMeeting meeting with voters and electors to include an actual audit to include all documents required today. #Trumplandslide. “
Neither Powell nor Rafensperger responded to Fowell News emails.
Sense. Kelly Loffler and David Perdue, both Georgia Republicans, endorsed similar demands signed by the president on Sunday and vowed to resign Rafanspurger in a joint statement earlier in the week. Sen. Lindsay Graham, R.S.C., supported more signature-matches on Monday.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the Trump campaign and Republicans in the state will be “forced to double-check efforts to match the signatures of local election workers.”
Trump’s team has questioned the validity of absentee ballots on the state that helped Jai Biden win 12,670 votes in the PH state, where 5 million ballots were cast.
Gabriel Sterling, the state’s voting system manager, told the paper that such an audit was possible, but that “we cannot open an investigation based on generalizations. We are not happy with the outcome of the election.”
Ledger-Inquirer reports that signatures on absentee ballots are double-checked under state law, but once counted, they cannot be found back in their envelopes.
The paper reports that the envelopes are kept for two years and the state received an increase of about 350% in 2020 compared to 2018.
Powell said in an interview with Dobbs last month that he was preparing to “free the Kraken” in the context of the Scandinavian sea monster, which some believe the tide of evidence was on the horizon. But even some supporters of Trump’s legal challenge seem impatient to wait for a smoking gun, proving widespread voter fraud.
Critics of the president say the lawsuit is only delaying the inevitability and refusing to accept harms the transition.
Powell insisted that it was clear that “foreign infiltration has taken place in our voting systems and that the rubber will be where the road meets.”
Dobbs asked her about some important dates that are approaching, including a December 8 deadline for resolving election disputes at the state level. (All state calculations and court contests on the results of the presidential election are due to be completed by this date.)
“Yes, the deadline should be able to meet,” he said. “The evidence is so overwhelming that he almost knew they were guilty of it. They expected us to catch it, maybe it’s something that’s going to happen, I don’t know. “

Trump’s legal team has suffered heavy losses in the lower courts and was seen by some as a brief publicity stunt on Sunday when he distanced himself from former federal lawyer Powell, who represented General Michael Flynn in his case.

Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump’s lawyers, told Fox Business on Monday night that the legal shock would eventually reverse. He said a Pennsylvania court did not hear “a single fact.”
