NEW YORK (Dagbladet): On Sunday night, Kemp and the deputy governor, Geoff Duncan, sent out a new press release. There, they make it clear again that they will not convene Georgia State Assembly for an extraordinary meeting to reverse the presidential election result and nominate 16 voters who support Trump instead of the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, reports AP.
Biden won the state with about 12,000 votes, but Trump still claims that Biden won due to extensive electoral fraud. However, the outgoing president has not provided any evidence for these allegations.

Takes to counter
Republican leaders in Georgia, who until now have been very loyal to Trump, have in recent days strongly opposed the president’s attack.

“Any attempt by the state assembly to change the process of the November 3 election retroactively will be unconstitutional and immediately end up in the judiciary and result in a long legal dispute and no solution in the short term,” Kemp and Duncan said in a statement.
Georgia is the focus of the entire political United States at the moment. On January 5, the state will hold a new round of elections in two Senate elections, which will determine whether Republicans manage to retain their narrow majority in the Senate.
On Saturday, Trump was in Valdosta, Georgia to campaign for the two Republican senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, who are fighting Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
Only 27 Republicans recognize Biden
Fear of the election
Just hours before this, Trump called Kemp and asked that the governor convene an extraordinary meeting to overturn the election result. The governor is said to have refused to do so. This is said to have made Trump furious, and on Sunday he tweeted new and undocumented allegations that the Georgia election was full of election fraud and accused Kemp and Duncan of not doing anything about it.

In Georgia, many Republicans fear that Trump’s accusations of conspiracies and electoral fraud will cause Republican voters to lose confidence in the electoral system and not turn up to vote in the Senate election.
– Proud
On Sunday, both Duncan and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger – both Republicans – also gave interviews to defend the electoral system.
– I am proud that we are able to look up after three recountings and see that the election was fair. Was it perfect? Absolutely not. “I do not know of any election in history that has been perfect in this country,” Duncan told CNN.
“Right now we do not see anything that can change the will of the people here in Georgia,” Raffensperger told ABC.
Fear that Trump will cost them the election
– Voted for him
Republican Gabriel Sterling in charge of the electoral system in Georgia also took a strong stand against Trump on Sunday.
– The president’s statements are untrue. They are misinformation. They ignite anger and fear among his followers. And hell, I voted for him, “Sterling told NBC.
The elected representatives in the state assembly can even hold an extraordinary meeting, but it requires that 60 percent of the members of both chambers require it in writing. This is unlikely as more than 40 percent in both chambers are Democrats. Four Republican state senators, who attended Trump’s rally on Saturday, have so far called for such a meeting.
