President Donald Trump’s campaign recently filed a legal challenge in Georgia, and each of the allegations has merit, according to attorney Cleta Mitchell.
Most recently, the campaign filed a lawsuit in Georgia, alleging that several election officials “repeatedly violated election laws” that led to illegal voting and counting.
The complaint, filed Dec. 4, identifies multiple illegal voting groups, including “2,560 felons; 66,247 underage voters; 2,423 unregistered voters; 1,043 people registered at post office boxes; 4,926 people registered in other states who voted in Georgia; 395 people who voted in two states; 15,700 people who voted in two states; 15,000 people who voted in two states; and 3,000 people who voted in two states. Ballots came from people who moved out of state before the election; 40,279 ballots came from people who moved to new counties but have not re-registered; and another 30,000 to 40,000 absentee ballots were not properly signature-matched and certified.”
Mitchell has been involved in the preparation of the Johns County case. In a recent interview with the English-language Chronicle’s “American Thought Leaders,” she said that every claim made in the complaint has a basis in fact and that eyewitness testimony has been reviewed to ensure that the most salient elements are included in the lawsuit.
She said, “There is not a single allegation in the pleadings that has not been proven and supported, and (the testimony on each allegation) has been testified to under oath by eyewitnesses under the penalty of perjury, or by experts who have studied and analyzed state election data.”
The Trump campaign and Republicans have launched a series of challenges in several battleground states across the country alleging election irregularities in those states and challenging election results.
While election officials have denied the allegations, and many in the media have described the allegations as “baseless,” testimony supporting the allegations began to emerge as the legal challenges continued. At the same time, attorneys from Trump’s legal team and Republicans held hearings in several states, giving witnesses the opportunity to testify about election irregularities in front of members of Congress.
On Dec. 7, Joe confirmed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden as the winner of the state after two recounts without verified signatures. Of the nearly 5 million ballots cast, Biden won 12,670 more than Trump, according to official results on the state’s website, a smaller margin than the number of invalid votes noted in Joe’s lawsuit.
Mitchell said the seriousness of the allegations means the court should order a new presidential election or order the Legislature to set aside the ballots and elect a presidential elector for the state.
The lawsuit also asks the court to order state officials to “provide 10,000 absentee ballot applications and ballot envelopes from the defendants …… and provide a voter registration database sufficient to complete a full audit.”
Mitchell said the Trump campaign has asked Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger five times to conduct a signature comparison audit of the ballots, but has been denied.
The case was filed in Fulton County Superior Court, Trump v. Raffensperger, Case No. 2020CV343255.
Prominent attorney Sidney Powell also filed suit on behalf of several Republicans in the state. She alleges “massive fraud” in the state, specifically vote fraud through the Dominion voting system, voter manipulation, and seeking to invalidate election results. A federal judge dismissed the case, and she appealed to the circuit court.
