This
was filed Monday (Dec. 6). It represents President Trump as a
direct named plaintiff for the first time, as well as Georgia
Republican Party Chairman David Shafer.
What it says: This suit differs markedly from the
"Kraken" suit in that it alleges significant voter fraud, enough to
change the election outcome, but not a conspiracy. Its central claim is
that there were thousands of votes counted - many more than the 12,000
margin by which Joe Biden has won Georgia - that were simply illegal;
votes cast by people under 18, for example, or by people who were not
listed in the state's records as actually registered to vote.
Instead of properly updating the voter registration lists, the lawsuit alleges that these fraudulent votes included:
- 2,560 felons
- 66,247 underage registrants
- 2,423 people who were not on the state’s voter rolls
- 4,926 voters who had registered in another state after they registered in Georgia, making them ineligible
- 395 people who cast votes in another state for the same election
- 15,700 voters who had filed a national change of address forms without re-registering
- 40,279 people who had moved counties without re-registering
- 1,043 people who claimed the physical impossibility of a P.O. Box as their address
- 98 people who registered after the deadline
- 10,315 people who were deceased on election day (8,718 of whom had been registered as dead before their votes were accepted)
- 305,701 people who, according to state records, applied for an
absentee ballot past the deadline (more than 180 days before the
election)
- 92 voters whose absentee ballots were cast before they even requested one
- 13 people who weren’t registered voted with absentee ballots
- 2,664 absentee ballots were mailed from elections offices before the earliest date permitted by law
- 50 peoples’ absentee ballots were counted despite being returned and accepted before the earliest allowed date
- 2 people whose ballot applications were rejected voted anyway
- 217 people who voted by absentee ballots were “applied for, issued, and received all on the same day.”
