About two weeks before retirement, US President Donald Trump, who is unwilling to disagree with the presidential election, pressured the Georgian state secretary to overturn the results of the election. Washington’s politics are invading because it is the first time that a currency containing illegal circumstances that the president pressed against the state government has been released. It is also expected to affect the results of the final vote of the two seats in the Georgia Senate on the 5th.
According to a file obtained by the Washington Post (WP) on the 3rd, President Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Rapunsperger on the 2nd for 62 minutes to “find 11,780 votes” that could reverse the election results. . Georgia, which has a strong conservative tendency, is a traditional Republican dominant region, but in the November presidential election last year, elected Joe Biden won a new victory with a difference of 11,779 votes (0.25 percentage points).
The result was confirmed after President Trump demanded a manual recount, saying he could not accept the election results originally announced by the state government. Nevertheless, he couldn’t give up and found 11,780 more votes than this, and forced him to overturn the result.

President Trump insisted that’thousands of ballots were discarded’,’the same vote was counted three times’, and’the vote was made in the name of the deceased’ and said, “This criminal offense should not occur. You can be in danger,” he even made a threatening statement. “The residents of Georgia and the people of this country are angry (because of my defeat in the presidential election). It’s not wrong to say you’re going to recalculate the votes.” He said he couldn’t have lost in Georgia and won by hundreds of thousands of votes.
President Trump said the issue would work against the Republican candidate in the election on the 5th. “If you correct it before the election, you will be respected. In many ways, the price will be very high.” Minister Rapunsperger said, “President, your objection is wrong. We have already recounted and there have been no fraudulent elections.”
The US media reported that it could be a violation of the law for the president to press the state’s electoral officer to overturn the results. Congressman Alexandria Okaciocortez (Democratic New York), famous for anti-Trump greetings, criticized it as “an act that can be impeached. President Trump also admitted to the call on Twitter on the 3rd. “Rafensperger was reluctant or unable to answer questions about voting fraud, ballot disposal, and deceased voters. He has no idea.”
-President-elect Trump and Biden each visited Georgia on the 4th day, one day before the election, to support the bipartisan candidates. Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler, Democratic black political rookie Rafael Warnock, Republican Senator David Purdue and Democrat John Osoff are fighting fiercely within the margin of error. According to the results of analysis of various opinion polls on the 3rd by Five Thirds, a political website, candidate Osoff leads Purdue (47.4%) with a 49.2% approval rating. Candidate Warnock also beats Congressman Loeffler (47.2%) with 49.5%.
In the end, it is analyzed that, like the presidential election, the participation rate of pre-voters with high propensity to support the Democratic Party and the degree of gathering of black voters will determine the market. More than 3 million out of 7 million registered voters participated in the pre-voting held from the 14th of last month to the 1st of this month. This is the highest figure in the history of the Georgia runoff.
