At a Wednesday press conference , after a reporter asked if Trump still thinks that he “ has a path to win , ” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany self-confidently replied that “ the president has said he believes all legal votes should be counted and all illegal votes should not be counted , and in fact , the campaign is pursuing that litigation ” in certain battleground states .
These remarks might obscure the outrageousness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Local election officials around the country , the Department of Homeland Security , and Attorney General Bill Barr — a Trump loyalist !

Whether or not the recent presidential election was secure is not an open question. Ignorance, willful or otherwise, of the basic security measures that are in place around the country does not translate into those basic security measures magically disappearing. Top Trump ally Rudy Giuliani, who the outgoing president has so far stuck close by as the campaign’s legal fights proceed with Giuliani at the helm, has repeatedly claimed that a centrally planned Democratic conspiracy to rig the election for Biden unfolded during the recent presidential race. There is zero meaningful evidence for this claim.
At the Wednesday press conference, McEnany also yet again tried to tie Democratic leaders to support of violence. High-profile Democratic leaders, including Joe Biden himself, have unequivocally condemned all forms of violence over and over again. These leaders have shown zero acceptance of rioting, looting, or violence in any form. Trump allies still sound like they’re living in some fantasy world where Joe Biden is trumpeting his support for violent rioting through a metaphorical megaphone.
On Wednesday, McEnany belligerently insisted that “if you can loot businesses, burn down buildings, engage in protest, you can also go to a Christmas party; you can celebrate the holiday of Christmas responsibly.” Even to the very end of their time in power, as Americans literally suffer and die through a raging pandemic, the Trump White House sounds more committed to scoring political “gotcha!” points than meaningfully leading the nation.

bipartisanreport--2020-12-02--Sidney Powell Submits Embarrassing, Mistake-Riddled Wisconsin Lawsuit

Sidney Powell — the attorney who President Donald Trump recently announced as a member of his legal team before an unceremonious apparent firing after she threatened to “ blow up ” Georgia ( metaphorically speaking ) with a lawsuit — has filed a new lawsuit in Wisconsin in which she inexplicably demands footage from a voting and ballot-counting center in Michigan .
In her Wisconsin lawsuit , Powell seeks to overturn the state ’ s results as they presently stand , asking for a decertification of the state ’ s presidential election results , which neither she nor anyone else @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Local reporter Jeramey Jannene says that Powell insists that “ she would accept the Wisconsin Elections Commission and Governor Tony Evers picking Trump as the winner ” — because of course she would .
Powell ’ s Wisconsin lawsuit asks for the “ immediate production of 48 hours of security camera recording of all rooms used in the voting process at the TCF Center for November 3 , 2020 and November 4 , 2020 ” — which is in Detroit , Michigan .
The inclusion of the request for footage from Michigan seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and its allies have repeatedly targeted Detroit ( and Michigan as a whole ) in their ramshackle crusade against the election results , leading Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel ( D ) to recently observe that many of the Trump team ’ s challenges seem based in the ideas that “ Black people are corrupt , Black people are incompetent and Black people can ’ t be trusted.
” Besides the city of Detroit , Trump and his allies have also singled out Philadelphia , and both cities have substantial Black populations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an air of racism .
Powell ’ s Wisconsin errors don ’ t stop with requesting footage from Michigan .
Her lawsuit also repeatedly misspells the name of Milwaukee Election Commission executive director Claire Woodall-Vogg , who Powell refers to as “ Claire Woodall-Voog.
” Powell ’ s lawsuit “ also incorrectly names a number of county election commissions , ” Jannene explains .
In her Wisconsin lawsuit , Powell claims that “ Smartmatic and Dominion were founded by foreign oligarchs and dictators to ensure computerized ballot-stuffing and vote manipulation to whatever level @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hugo Chavez never lost another election ” — but no Wisconsin county uses Smartmatic software , according to Wisconsin Elections Commission member Dean Knudson .
Also , Hugo Chavez died about 7 years ago , which underlines the utter ridiculousness of Powell ’ s theory that a pro-Chavez plot underlined an election fraud scheme perpetrated through Smartmatic and Dominion technologies .

bipartisanreport--2020-12-02--Desperate Trump Supporters Claim That Obama Was Arrested

Is there just about any conspiracy theory that some of Donald Trump ’ s most cultishly devoted followers would be unwilling to push ?
Conservatives on social media have been posting about the supposed arrest of former President Barack Obama and the claim that President-elect Joe Biden is wearing an ankle bracelet .
Both of these claims are mind-numbing nonsense — but they ’ ve taken off in certain corners of the web nonetheless .
Claimed arrests of high-profile figures have been a central part of the right-wing QAnon conspiracy theory , which claims the existence of a Satanic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who posted about Obama ’ s supposed arrest include Angela Stanton-King , who received a Trump pardon for a years-old conspiracy conviction .
King ran for Congress as the Republican standard-bearer in the Georgia Congressional district where the late civil rights icon John Lewis served .
King originally announced her candidacy when Lewis was still living and ended up facing off against Nikema Williams on the ballot in November .
Williams received about 85 percent of the vote , delivering her a resounding victory — and now , her defeated opponent is floating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Other characters spreading the Obama arrest conspiracy include Shane Smedley , an Air Force veteran who has written books about UFOs , including one which claims to present “ proof of aliens and UFOs on earth.
” Smedley said on Twitter that the “ arrest in question may have taken place “ some time ” ago , ” saying that “ things are happening ” and “ all should stay vigilant.
” These things are not happening .
Grifters are taking advantage of gullible right-wingers — that ’ s what ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama arrest conspiracy , also pushing the idea of Biden ’ s ankle bracelet .
One conservative commentator going by “ Ann Vandersteel ” who has over 70 thousand followers on Twitter posted a video whose original author claims that “ [ our ] Chinese whistleblower friend says that Biden turned himself in.
” These events unequivocally did not take place .
It ’ s worth noting — these ludicrous claims are not spreading in a vacuum .
Donald Trump himself has pushed the lie that Obama and Biden have committed crimes .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ team was caught “ spying ” on the Trump campaign , which is simply false .
Judicially-supervised surveillance of ex-Trump ally Carter Page simply does not equal spying on the Trump campaign .
Nevertheless , Trump ’ s nonsense helps give cover for this other right-wing nonsense .
Trump has explicitly suggested that Obama and Biden should be jailed , which is an authoritarian fever dream .

Two heavyweight champions stepped into the Oval Office ring. Bad Boy Donald Trump, wearing a black suit and no cape has more ring experience than his Attorney General William Barr. But the Double AG (once for President George H.W. Bush and once for this president) dressed in a dark charcoal three-piece has been battling bad guys on a national level since 1992.
The president has been in the squared circle of the WWE since Andre the Giant was king. He hosted WrestleMania IV and V in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was performance art.
Trump dropped tens of thousands of dollars from the rafters of the arena onto his clapping fans. He was the first WWE Hall of Famer to reach the White House, and it has been a knockout drag-out since the day he opened the Oval Office door with Americans getting knocked around and with the bruises to show for it.
On the other hand, Barr knew what he was getting into when he had his one-of-a-kind resume ferried over to Trump.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sat in a ringside seat until the referee sent him to the locker room. Standing between the Trump and Barr was former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani who has been unabashedly biased toward the president. The word is he had been making $20,000 a day for his loyalty.
For months before the fight, Giuliani had been feeding his guy a steady diet of conspiracy theories. Plus, he has been telling anybody who would listen that the Democrats dumped “millions of illegal votes into the system with no evidence,” according to The Associated Press.
This week, the president gave Barr an invitation he could not refuse that led to the lengthy clash of the Titans. One individual familiar with the meeting spoke on the condition of anonymity and told CNN: ‘The interview had caused his boss to erupt, multiple people familiar with his reaction said.’ Trump was also angry that Barr’s long investigation had not provided him with a report from John Durham. He believed it would come out before the election and further help him. He asked repeatedly: ‘Where is it?’ ABC News first reported that the meeting was “tense.” Officials did not want to see Barr fired, but Trump has always been capricious, dancing from foot-to-foot saying he could dance like a butterfly and sting like a bee. According to CNN: ‘The source described the [Barr-Trump] meeting as contentious but said the President was not screaming at Barr. Trump was deeply frustrated with Barr long before the interview but said it only added to his anger. Two White House officials said that while Trump had certainly considered firing Barr, he’s being advised against it by several people. Whether he ultimately will is anyone’s guess.’ Trump looking no worse for wear met with White House reporters and took a few questions. One reporter asked him whether he still had confidence in AG Barr. The president hit his attorney general below the belt on that one: ‘Ask me that in a number of weeks from now. They should be looking at all of this fraud.’ Still ready to go another round, Trump gave the reporters “massive fraud” from the left and another hit from the left, repeating it was “a rigged election.” Barr hit back, supported by state officials, and said: ‘There is no evidence of widespread election fraud.’ Giuliani has sparred with Barr on and off. The former mayor said, according to The Associated Press: ‘We have many witnesses swearing under oath they saw crimes being committed in connection with voter fraud. As far as we know, not a single one has been interviewed by the DOJ. The Justice Department also hasn’t audited any voting machines or used their subpoena powers to determine the truth.’ However, Barr said earlier that people were confusing the use of the federal criminal justice system with allegations that should be made in civil lawsuits, according to The Associated Press. He said a remedy for many complaints would be a top-down audit by state or local officials, not the U.S. Justice Department: ‘There’s a growing tendency to use the criminal justice system as sort of a default fix-all Most claims of fraud are very particularized to a particular set of circumstances or actors or conduct. … And those have been run down; they are being run down. Some have been broad and potentially cover a few thousand votes. They have been followed up on.’ Trump pounded Barr claiming: ‘He hasn’t done anything. He hasn’t looked [for fraud in the Georgia election.]’ After the “intense” meeting, the Department of Justice (DOJ) had no comment at first, but then came back and issued an off-the-record statement: ‘[The DOJ has not finished the fraud investigation and therefore not] announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election. The department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible.’ ABC News first reported on the tense White House meeting. This was far from Barr’s first fight. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris took him down during a Senate hearing: Trump was reportedly worried about a battle in the legal arena once he was a citizen again.

bipartisanreport--2020-12-03--Georgia Fraud ‘Hearing’ With Giuliani Devolves Into Total Nonsense

On Thursday , the Trump team took their parade of lies to Georgia , where top Trump ally Rudy Giuliani and others participated in a so-called hearing covering supposed election fraud in the state .
The so-called hearing mirrored gatherings that have taken place in other swing states , including Pennsylvania and Arizona , and like elsewhere , Trump ’ s allies at the Georgia hearing peddled ignorant and deceptive nonsense .
For instance , Trump ’ s allies have alleged that video footage proves that ballot-counting unfolded in Fulton County without supervision — but the very video footage that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ onsite from the Georgia Secretary of State ’ s office .
Reporter Stephen Fowler , who observed the Georgia “ hearing ” proceedings firsthand , reported that none of the witnesses were under oath while delivering their so-called testimonies .
Trump ’ s allies have repeatedly raised bombastic claims of supposed systematic fraud — some of which simply have not emerged in actual court cases , perhaps due to the fact that lying to investigators is a crime .
Besides the lack of meaningful truth underlying the entirety of Republican claims of systematic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is also a wreck — Fowler reported that Rudy Giuliani himself was “ reading from an affidavit that doesn ’ t even get the name of Georgia ’ s voting vendor right.
” That same affidavit also “ misunderstands how absentee votes are counted and recorded , ” Fowler added .
Why should observers take the Trump team seriously if they can ’ t even get very basic facts right ?
As Fowler summarized , the so-called hearing in Georgia on Thursday hinged on “ speculation from people who can ’ t even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , masquerading as facts , given credence by elected officials in Georgia.
” Evidently , the Trump campaign did not even seriously bother to look into the identities of the people in the scrutinized video that emerged of ballot-counting in Fulton County .
If they ’ d done so , then they could have discovered that one of the people right there in the video is an official observer from the office of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger , a Republican .
Trump allies zeroed in on the fact that footage shows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that had been stored under a table after partisan observers left… but where else were the election workers supposed to store the ballots they were counting ?
On shelves in the other room ?
On their heads ?
Trump seems to have been paying attention to the nonsensical so-called hearing in Georgia .
On Thursday afternoon , he tweeted that “ Blockbuster testimony [ is ] taking place right now in Georgia , ” claiming that “ Ballot stuffing by Dems when Republicans were forced to leave the large counting room ” took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ footage of election workers moving ballots from one place to the other in a room does not equal actual evidence of fraud !

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has now denied a Republican request to put one of their own recent rulings on hold .

bipartisanreport--2020-12-03--Ivanka Angrily Rants On Twitter After Deposition For Spending Investigation

Ivanka Trump , the president ’ s daughter and adviser , recently sat for a deposition as part of an investigation from D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine into spending connected to Donald Trump ’ s inauguration in 2016 .
As CNN legal analyst Laura Coates summarizes , Racine alleges the “ abuse of nonprofit funds by grossly overpaying for space at the Trump Hotel in DC , among other things , ” on the part of the Trump inauguration committee .
The committee spent over $ 1 million to rent a ballroom for four days at Trump ’ s D.C. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two events there .
On Thursday , Ivanka angrily complained on Twitter about Racine ’ s investigation , insisting that the probe is mere “ vindictiveness.
” In her angry post about her recent deposition , Ivanka included a copy of an email that she said that she submitted to the D.C. A.G. ’ s office .
In the email , she admonishes those involved in procuring space for the Trump inauguration festivities to charge a “ fair market rate ” to Trump ’ s inauguration committee .
In short , this email @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spread across a mere two lines , does not conclusively refute underlying allegations , although Ivanka may think otherwise .
Notably — a report emerged recently in The New York Times , saying that Donald has considered the possibility of issuing preemptive pardons for his three oldest children , including Ivanka .
On Thursday , Ivanka said as follows : ‘ This week I spent 5+ hours in a deposition with the Democrat D.C. AG ’ s office where they questioned the rates charged by the Trump Hotel at the inauguration .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years ago where I sent instructions to the hotel to charge a “ fair market rate ” … which the hotel then did .
This ‘ inquiry ’ is another politically motivated demonstration of vindictiveness & waste of taxpayer dollars.
’ The talk of a potential preemptive pardon for Ivanka suggests that there might be some conscientiousness of potential criminal exposure within Trump World .
According to The New York Times , the president and Rudy Giuliani have also discussed a potential preemptive pardon for Giuliani , although it ’ s unclear what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the two of them may have had in mind .
Presidential pardons only cover federal offenses , either way .
Recently , Ivanka posted a similar Twitter rant after news dropped that New York authorities were apparently looking into tax deductions that the Trump Organization claimed for so-called consulting fees — some of which seemingly went to Ivanka herself .
Ivanka called the New York investigations “ harassment pure and simple.
” Check out Twitter ’ s response to Ivanka below :

Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and adviser, recently sat for a deposition as part of an investigation from D.C.

On Thursday, Ivanka angrily complained on Twitter about Racine’s investigation, insisting that the probe is mere “vindictiveness.”

This ‘inquiry’ is another politically motivated demonstration of vindictiveness & waste of taxpayer dollars.’
Check out Ivanka’s post below:
The talk of a potential preemptive pardon for Ivanka suggests that there might be some conscientiousness of potential criminal exposure within Trump World. According to The New York Times, the president and Rudy Giuliani have also discussed a potential preemptive pardon for Giuliani, although it’s unclear what precise potential criminal proceedings against Rudy that the two of them may have had in mind. Presidential pardons only cover federal offenses, either way. Recently, Ivanka posted a similar Twitter rant after news dropped that New York authorities were apparently looking into tax deductions that the Trump Organization claimed for so-called consulting fees — some of which seemingly went to Ivanka herself. Ivanka called the New York investigations “harassment pure and simple.”
This is harassment pure and simple. This ‘inquiry’ by NYC democrats is 100% motivated by politics, publicity and rage. They know very well that there’s nothing here and that there was no tax benefit whatsoever. These politicians are simply ruthless.https://t.co/4dQoDzQlRX — Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) November 20, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-12-03--Republican Caught Conducting Large Illegal Voter Fraud Scheme

The Republicans are losing their minds over the two upcoming Alabama Senate races , because they are desperate to win the Alabama Senate .
It is a vital race that will rip the Senate out of Moscow Mitch McConnell ’ s greedy little hands , or it will remain with the do-nothing Republican Senate leaders .
What is the problem ?
In a word : Trump .
The GOP wants his base voters , so the temporary president will go down to campaign for the Republican incumbents .
However , POTUS has been on a tear ever since he lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number of votes .
The Republicans are afraid that the man in the White House will campaign for his agenda — calling the Alabama election “ a fraud.
” Why should his people vote , when the whole thing is a sham ?
One Florida man has an idea .
He will temporarily move to Florida , and invited a million Floridians to go have a slumber party at his brother ’ s Georgia house before illegally voting , too .
When caught , the guy said he was “ joking.
” What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” business with people in Donald Trump ’ s orbit ?
Of course , the temporary president is the king of “ I ’ m kidding.
” Take his terrible suggestion to drink household disinfectant to kill the coronavirus .
When POTUS was laughed at , he came up with his “ Just kidding ” bit .
The Washington Post fact-checking reported on this odd phenomenon , calling it “ insincere : ” The Florida attorney is under investigation for voting illegally in Alabama in the January 5 Senate runoff .
He has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moving to Georgia and staying with his brother .
Not only that , he has invited two million to join him .
It appears that there really is voter fraud after all .
Attorney Bill Price gave a speech to his local Bay County , Florida Republican Party members .
That was where he explained what he was going to do to support their party , and then he posted the evidence of his crime on Facebook .
He invited “ each and every one of you to be my roommate in Georgia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more : Georgia ’ s office of Secretary of State Spokesperson Walter Jones said that registering with no intention of permanent residency is a felony : The state hopper said he had filled out the registration online .
However , he was only doing so to “ expose Democrats ” trying to do the same .
And the logic is where ?
He said he was “ joking : ” In the video , Price gave out his brother ’ s Georgia address several times : Chair of the Board of Elections in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tried to register , said : Alabama officials opened up the investigation on Price .
They contacted Holden as part of it .
She said : The Mueller Report Adventures : In Bite-Sizes on this Facebook page .
These quick , two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people .
Mueller Bite-Sizes uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery .
Interestingly enough , Mueller Bite-Sizes can be read in any order .

The Republicans are losing their minds over the two upcoming Alabama Senate races, because they are desperate to win the Alabama Senate. It is a vital race that will rip the Senate out of Moscow Mitch McConnell’s greedy little hands, or it will remain with the do-nothing Republican Senate leaders. What is the problem?
In a word: Trump. The GOP wants his base voters, so the temporary president will go down to campaign for the Republican incumbents. However, POTUS has been on a tear ever since he lost the presidency by a substantial and ever-increasing number of votes. The Republicans are afraid that the man in the White House will campaign for his agenda — calling the Alabama election “a fraud.” Why should his people vote, when the whole thing is a sham?
One Florida man has an idea. He will temporarily move to Florida, and invited a million Floridians to go have a slumber party at his brother’s Georgia house before illegally voting, too. When caught, the guy said he was “joking.”
What is this “I’m kidding” business with people in Donald Trump’s orbit? Of course, the temporary president is the king of “I’m kidding.” Take his terrible suggestion to drink household disinfectant to kill the coronavirus. When POTUS was laughed at, he came up with his “Just kidding” bit. The Washington Post fact-checking reported on this odd phenomenon, calling it “insincere:”
‘Trump, the Tony Clifton (comedian Andy Kaufman character) of presidents, has proved equally adept at sustaining the put-on. He never breaks character. He never laughs at his own jokes (or anyone else’s, for that matter). ‘
The Florida attorney is under investigation for voting illegally in Alabama in the January 5 Senate runoff. He has a video telling people that he was moving to Georgia and staying with his brother. Not only that, he has invited two million to join him. It appears that there really is voter fraud after all.
Attorney Bill Price gave a speech to his local Bay County, Florida Republican Party members. That was where he explained what he was going to do to support their party, and then he posted the evidence of his crime on Facebook.
He invited “each and every one of you to be my roommate in Georgia,” and “two million” more:
‘If we lose the Senate on Jan. 5 in Georgia, we will become Venezuela and I will invite each and every one of you to be my roommate in Georgia. I’m changing my voter registration right now, and I’m inviting two million people to be my roommate.’
Georgia’s office of Secretary of State Spokesperson Walter Jones said that registering with no intention of permanent residency is a felony:
‘Registering without the intention of permanent residency is a felony. Only permanent residents are eligible to vote in Georgia. Secretary Raffensperger has made it clear he has no tolerance for election wrongdoing and will investigate any credible evidence of it.’
Price continued the phone interview with Fox News:
‘It’s only for a couple months. We’ll have buses leaving right out here, going to Atlanta the day before Jan. 5 and I might need you guys to help me move back to Florida on Jan. 6.’
The state hopper said he had filled out the registration online. However, he was only doing so to “expose Democrats” trying to do the same. And the logic is where? He said he was “joking:”
‘I wanted to see how easy it was to do it. I’m not actually moving to Georgia. I was joking.’
In the video, Price gave out his brother’s Georgia address several times:
‘We have to start fighting back and we have to do whatever it takes. And if that means changing your address for the next two months, so be it. We’ll make room for you at the dinner table.’
Chair of the Board of Elections in Paulding County Deidre Holden, where Price tried to register, said:
‘An attorney should know better. This is fraud especially after his speech on Facebook.’
Alabama officials opened up the investigation on Price. They contacted Holden as part of it. She said:
‘I’m a Republican, but I just think it’s wrong when someone tries to vote illegally and then tell other people to do it.’

President Donald Trump sounds increasingly desperate as his angry fight against the results of the presidential election drags on .
Recently , even Attorney General Bill Barr , a decisive Trump loyalist , admitted to the Associated Press that no evidence has emerged indicating fraud that swung the election outcome , but Trump and some of his top allies have sounded totally undeterred in their quest to prove otherwise .

Prominent Trump ally Rudy Giuliani has desperately alleged a centrally planned Democratic conspiracy to perpetrate election fraud, which there’s simply no meaningfully substantive evidence for, whatsoever. On Thursday, discussing his broader agenda, Trump angrily complained on Twitter about Republican Senators and the Republican governor and Secretary of State of Georgia.
As for the Senators, Trump has threatened to veto the defense spending authorization bill for next year unless Congress undoes legal protections for social media companies, who’ve previously been exempt from legal liability for much of what’s posted on their platforms.
Back in August 2019, the Trump team prepared an executive order that would have admonished social media users to file complaints of alleged social media company bias with the Federal Trade Commission. Under the provisions of the order, the Federal Communications Commission would investigate the complaints “to see if they justify removing a platform’s “good faith” provision under,” The Verge explains. In other words, the attack on Section 230 seems meant to punitively punish social media companies, and Trump himself has publicly feuded with Twitter in the past. He’s claimed — among other lies — that Twitter artificially adjusts its “trending topics” section to make him look bad. There’s zero real, meaningfully conclusive evidence of this claim.
Looks like certain Republican Senators are getting cold feet with respect to the termination of Big Tech’s Section 230, a National Security and Election Integrity MUST. For years, all talk, no action. Termination must be put in Defense Bill!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2020
Trump also went after Georgia leaders — again. He insisted that Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, both of whom are Republicans, “MUST immediately allow a signature verification match on the Presidential Election,” adding that the verification process would mean that “we quickly and easily win the State and importantly, pave the way for a big David and Kelly WIN!” This so-called “signature verification match,” on a basic level, has already taken place. When Georgia authorities receive mail-in ballots, election workers verify signatures — and then, these workers separate ballots and their envelopes, which contain the signatures. This envelope separation step, which helps protect the secrecy of individual voters’ decisions, means that a meaningful second round of signature verification re-checks is physically impossible.
The “Republican” Governor of Georgia, @BrianKempGA, and the Secretary of State, MUST immediately allow a signature verification match on the Presidential Election. If that happens, we quickly and easily win the State and importantly, pave the way for a big David and Kelly WIN! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2020
Georgia hearings now on @OANN. Amazing! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-12-03--New Georgia Special Election Poll Shows Great News For Democrats

Two Senate elections are slated for January in Georgia that will decide control of the chamber for the next two years .
If Democrats win both seats , then they ’ ll win control of the Senate , because the chamber will be 50-50 , but vice presidents break ties — and with Joe Biden in the White House , the vice president will be , of course , Kamala Harris .
Now , new poll results have emerged for the Georgia Senate races in which both Democratic candidates lead their incumbent Republican counterparts .
The new SurveyUSA polling has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his Republican challenger , David Perdue , sits at 48 percent .
Democrat Raphael Warnock stands at 52 percent in the polling , compared to just 45 percent for his own Republican challenger , Kelly Loeffler .
Only two candidates in each race will appear on the ballot in January , because the races have proceeded to run-offs after no candidate hit 50 percent or above in November , which is required for a victory in the first round .
In run-off Senate elections in Georgia , only the top two finishers from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a second time .
Notable exclusions include Georgia Congressman Doug Collins , a vocal Trump ally who ran for the Senate in the first round but finished behind Loeffler .
Going forward , talk has emerged among some Republicans of sitting out the Senate races altogether as some kind of protest over a perception of leaders failing to fix supposed fraud .
Of course , there ’ s no meaningfully conclusive evidence of any kind of systematic fraud — and even Attorney General Bill Barr , a Trump loyalist , has confirmed as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have proven undeterred in their efforts to prove otherwise .
At a so-called “ Stop the Steal ” rally in Georgia this week , prominent Trump-allied attorneys Lin Wood and Sidney Powell essentially called on attendees to sit out the upcoming Senate elections .
Recently , Trump himself announced Powell herself as a member of his own legal team , shortly before her unceremonious apparent firing following her threat to “ blow up ” Georgia ( metaphorically ) with a lawsuit over alleged fraud .
At Wood and Powell ’ s Georgia rally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
” .. about Brian Kemp , the current Republican governor of Georgia !
In other words , the crowd seemed receptive to Wood and Powell ’ s sentiments , to say the least .
At another recent in-person event in Georgia , one Republican attendee asked Republican National Committee ( RNC ) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel why the GOP should trust the upcoming Senate elections at all if the outcome is already decided .
McDaniel insisted that the outcomes aren ’ t decided — but the GOP simply can ’ t put their @ @ @ @ @ @ @

! Lin Wood retakes the stage and completely undercuts Jones, saying people shouldn't vote for Loeffler or Perdue without a complete overhaul of the GA voting system. "Why would you go back and vote in another rigged election." — Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) December 2, 2020
At Wood and Powell’s Georgia rally, attendees chanted “Lock him up!”.. about Brian Kemp, the current Republican governor of Georgia! In other words, the crowd seemed receptive to Wood and Powell’s sentiments, to say the least.
