Donald Trump once baselessly claimed that 5,000 dead people voted in Georgia. Four dead people voted in the 2020 election in Georgia, according to state officials who said relatives filed fraudulent ballots.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said on Monday that the State Election Board sent a total of 4 dead voters to the Attorney General. There is not enough evidence to overturn the 2020 elections. We need to look forward, not look back.
Absentee ballots were sent in by relatives in four instances. One case involved a widow who sent in an Absentee Ballot for her husband who died in September 2020.
She said she was going to cancel his ballot because he was going to vote Democrat. Barry Bishop, an attorney for the woman, told the State Election Board that it was a joke. She carried out his wishes after receiving an Absentee Ballot. She realized that was not the right thing to do.
The State Election Board can impose fines for improper use of Absentee Ballots.
There are a number of groundless assertions made by Trump regarding the 2020 election. He tried to overturn the results by making a false claim that the election was stolen from him. The pressure was put on Raffensperger to find votes to overturn the historic win of President Joe Biden. Biden won the state by 11,779 votes.
There are dead people. The number of dead people who voted is close to 5,000. They went to obituaries. During a January 2 phone call, Trump said that the minimum number of voters was close to 5,000.
The target of the former president's ire was Raffensperger, who refused to give into Trump's demands.
President Trump did not win the state of Georgia. My party is grieving over that. "We have not won the popular vote nationwide since 2004, so we have to face the brutal truth."
The deadly insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6 was caused by Trump's lies about the 2020 election. He was impeached a second time for inciting the riot. Over a year since Election Day, Trump has not acknowledged that he was defeated by Biden.
