Georgia lawmakers hosted former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani on Thursday for a second time to air unchecked claims of fraud in Georgia’s presidential election.
Giuliani, who is President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, rolled out witnesses and experts involved in a lawsuit to overturn the election results at a Georgia House Governmental Affairs Committee hearing.
Not sure I believe much of this. But every Georgia citizen that filled out an affidavit with election issues should be heard. I doubt it will change the results. But it is NOT enough for the SOS or his colleagues to just say there is nothing to most of it. If a Georgia citizen is willing to fill out an affidavit and swear under penalty of perjury so should those that provide the explanations or answers. If ONE Georgia citizen was a victim of fraud it should be remedied. For instance, the college student who tried to vote in person in November only to find out someone had already voted on her behalf via absentee ballot. It appeared the Democrat and Republican Georgia Legislature believed her and hopefully give her some justice. Republicans hold the line. Vote, Vote, Vote!
Many of the affidavits are of this variety: "I heard a guy saying that he heard someone talking about seeing something that may have been fraud." If a person did hear somebody say that & filled out an affidavit to that effect, there is no penalty for perjury for that person, even if there is no evidence of fraud. But, that doesn't mean that affidavit, with no supporting evidence, indicates fraud. Should valid allegations of fraud be investigated? Absolutely. Most of them actually have, it's just that some refuse to believe the results of those investigations. Should a few valid allegations of fraud be grounds for delaying validating election results if those allegations would not change the outcome? Absolutely not. We should believe the overwhelming evidence presented by officials on both sides: This was the most secure election in U.S. history.
