In tweets posted Friday evening, President Donald Trump accused Georgia’s 2020 general election and upcoming Senate run-off elections of being “illegal and invalid.”
He argued that Georgia’s entire election process has been corrupted, meaning that any elections that have occurred or will soon occur in the state are by default invalid.
In making his case, he cited Georgia’s consent decree.
“[T]he Georgia Consent Decree is Unconstitutional & the State 2020 Presidential Election is therefore both illegal and invalid, and that would include the two current Senatorial Elections,” he wrote.

Before even discussing the massive corruption which took place in the 2020 Election, which gives us far more votes than is necessary to win all of the Swing States (only need three), it must be noted that the State Legislatures were not in any way responsible for the massive….

….changes made to the voting process, rules and regulations, many made hastily before the election, and therefore the whole State Election is not legal or Constitutional. Additionally, the Georgia Consent Decree is Unconstitutional & the State 2020 Presidential Election….

….is therefore both illegal and invalid, and that would include the two current Senatorial Elections. In Wisconsin, Voters not asking for applications invalidates the Election. All of this without even discussing the millions of fraudulent votes that were cast or altered!

Back in March, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger acquiesced to demands from left-wing activist Stacey Abrams and reached a legal settlement — the Georgia consent decree — concerning voter signature checks.
He reached this decree without approval from the Georgia General Assembly.
According to National Review, the decree made it harder to reject ballots by requiring that there be “consent” among election officials when rejecting a ballot.
“The consent decree signed earlier this year requires Georgia election officials to consult with their peers on mismatching signatures, to ensure one official isn’t making subjective assessments of a signature match,” the site notes.
The problem is that consulting with other election officials takes time and thus makes the signature-matching process far more complicated.
The decree also mandated that voters who filed a rejected ballot be given the “opportunity to cure” their ballot.
“If the absentee ballot is rejected, officials are required to notify the voter within three days with an ‘opportunity to cure’ — that is, sort out whether they really are who they say they are, and work out whatever problem led to the rejection of the ballot,” according to NRO.
The president has repeatedly claimed that this decree “makes it impossible to check & match signatures on ballots and envelopes.”
The Consent Decree signed by the Georgia Secretary of State, with the approval of Governor @BrianKempGA, at the urging of @staceyabrams, makes it impossible to check & match signatures on ballots and envelopes, etc. They knew they were going to cheat. Must expose real signatures!

….What are they trying to hide. They know, and so does everyone else. EXPOSE THE CRIME!

His allies have asserted the same and further accused Raffensperger and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp — who reportedly approved the consent decree — of having been “conned.”
“Stacey Abrams conned the Republican leadership in Georgia into a consent decree that basically adulterated the signature verification system so that you’re comparing the ballot signature to the application signature,” Sen. Lindsey Graham said earlier this month.
He was correct about the ballot signature being compared to the application signature.
The way it works is that when the state receives a request for a mail-in ballot, it compares the signature on the request/application to the signature on file.
When the voter later submits their actual ballot, officials then compare the signature on the ballot to the signature on the original request/application.
Graham and others believe this process is rife with fraud.
What happened in Georgia is outrageous and inexcusable. Needs to be fixed! @BrianKempGA #georgia
Stacey Abrams ‘conned’ Georgia Republicans into facilitating Biden victory: Graham https://t.co/AuddBmM9wf via @BIZPACReview— Alana Stewart (@AlanaKStewart) December 14, 2020
During his Fox News appearance, Graham suggested that Abrams had pursued this change — one that Raffensperger and Kemp were “conned” into accepting — because of the anger she still feels over losing the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race.
“The media doesn’t want to talk about this because Stacey Abrams said she was cheated out of the [2018] governor’s race. She was hailed as a hero by every media outlet in the country as fighting for democracy,” he said.
“Donald Trump is fighting to have a fair day and to change systems that I think are flawed, and all of a sudden he’s the enemy of the people.”
Despite concerns over the election process in Georgia, the president has nevertheless continued to campaign on behalf of incumbent Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler and had planned to hold a rally in Georgia for them this upcoming Monday.
On behalf of two GREAT Senators, @sendavidperdue & @KLoeffler, I will be going to Georgia on Monday night, January 4th., to have a big and wonderful RALLY. So important for our Country that they win!

Of course, with the president having since preemptively declared the Senate run-offs “illegal and invalid,” there’s a chance he may change his mind.
