Why will not Governor @BrianKempGA, the hapless Governor of Ga, use his emergency powers, which can be conveniently performed, to overrule his obstinate Secretary of State, and do a match of signatures on envelopes. It will be a “goldmine” of fraud, and we will simply Gain the state….

….Also, swiftly check out the number of envelopes compared to the quantity of ballots. You may well just come across that there are lots of extra ballots than there are envelopes. So straightforward and so quick to do. Ga Republicans are angry, all Republicans are offended. Get it finished!

The envelope examining has been stated to Trump around and in excess of yet again. Signatures are checked in Ga when a voter requests an absentee ballot.

Kemp’s, or any other governor, does not have the ability to overturn an election. Each and every point out has a legislation and a approach for figuring out an election winner.
