Trump's legal team is now asserting that DOUG COLLINS, not KELLY LOEFFLER would be participating in the January 5 runoff if Brian Kemp hadn't rigged the voting machines.
Does LOEFFLER agree? Or will she admit that the Trump campaign's claims of voter fraud are BS.
Collins vote total was 292,760 behind Loeffler.
This is all getting to be an all-time award winner in the WTFness category. These aren't credible legal challenges at all and the individuals involved keep failing through incompetence. It might make more sense to presume that the goal here is not winning in the courts but rather encouraging insurrection and serious civic turmoil. For example, here's an interview Steve Bannon has just done with pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood (he's the celebrity lawyer who screwed the pooch with the Michigan/Minnesota population data fuckup)
Quote:STEVE BANNON (HOST): Do you have any, what would you like to tell our audience, about what they not just should look for, but how they can help, how they can assist and how they have to steel themselves for what's ahead? Because we're coming to a climax of one of the most important times in American history, we're going to be one thing or the other at the end of this, by December 14th, we're either going to be the republic that was bequeathed to us or something radically different. Do you have any words for the audience before we let you go?
LIN WOOD: I think the audience has to do what the people that were our Founding Fathers did in 1776. I think you've got to pledge your life, your money, and your sacred honor so that generations that come after us can live in freedom. I don't believe the people trying to take over our country are going to let go when it's exposed that the election was a fraud. I think there are plans in place to try to do other things to try to take over our government.
I think 2020 is the year they wanted to do it. Old George Soros said he was going to get it done and get rid of Trump, so I think the people need to have courage, I think they need to be prepared to fight for their freedom and I think at this time more than any time in my lifetime people need to have faith in God.
