The Donald Trump Score Card

Perdue, who lost his Senate seat in 2021 in part because of Trump discouraging the GOP to vote by spouting baseless stolen election narratives, is running for governor of GA with Trump's endorsement against GOP governor Kemp (whom Trump endorsed in 2018 ) whom Trump now hates because he didn't overturn the 2020 election for him.


Perdue says he wouldn't have certified Biden's Georgia win as Republican effort to bypass future election results intensifies

excerpt:

"David Perdue, the former U.S. senator and Trump-endorsed candidate for governor in Georgia, said Wednesday that he would not have certified Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election in his home state, the latest move from state-level Republicans casting doubt on the integrity of future races.

Perdue, who served one term representing Georgia in the Senate before losing in a January runoff to Democrat Jon Ossoff, announced his intention to primary sitting Republican Gov. Brian Kemp this week. Kemp is among the Georgia Republicans who affirmed the election results, which were counted three times and showed a close win by Biden.

In an interview with Axios, Perdue said he wouldn’t have done the same."

 

New FOX 5 Poll: Dead Heat between Kemp, Perdue due to Trump endorsement

excerpt:

"In his endorsement, former President Trump wrote, "Glad to see that David Perdue is running for Governor of Georgia. He is a Conservative fighter who isn’t afraid of the Radical Left, and is the only candidate in Georgia who can beat Stacey ‘The Hoax’ Abrams in November. Brian Kemp has failed Georgia. He caved to Stacey Abrams before the 202 Election and allowed massive Election Fraud to take place. The signing of the Stacey Abrams-backed Consent Decree, so stupidly giving her and the Democrats everything they wanted, was a monumental mistake not only for Georgia, but also for our Nation!"

Calling Kemp a very weak governor, the former President added, "David Perdue and Herschel Walker (who I have already strongly endorsed) will make an unstoppable team for Georgia. Trump supporters will turn out to voter for these great leaders in big numbers. David Perdue has my Complete and Total Endorsement. He will not let you down!""

 

Trump brought up the issue of what he referred to as the consent decree during his pressure call to Raffensperger.


Trump rails against Georgia Gov. Kemp for consent decree aimed at helping minority voters

excerpt:

"The president appears to be referring to a consent decree from earlier in 2020 which concerned signature matching on mail-in ballots. Abrams spoke to the Los Angeles Times about the decree on October 4.

"[Y]ou could always vote by mail, that was never a problem. The issue was they threw out your ballot if there was a signature mismatch, which was twice as likely if you were Black or Latino, five times as likely if you're young," Abrams said.

"And a fairly high percentage of immigrants had their ballots thrown out. We were able to get a consent decree earlier this year where you'd get to fix your ballot if they think there's a problem."

A consent decree is an agreement entered into by parties to settle a dispute without admission of guilt or liability. As such, it was necessary for the state of Georgia to agree to it. This is what Trump has complained about on Twitter."

 

Trump has been spreading misinformation about what he refers to as the consent decree, claiming that it took away the ability to check ballot signatures.


AP FACT CHECK: Trump wrong on Georgia voter signature checks | AP News

excerpt:

"TRUMP: “The Consent Decree signed by the Georgia Secretary of State, with the approval of Governor @BrianKempGA, at the urging of @staceyabrams, makes it impossible to check & match signatures on ballots and envelopes, etc. They knew they were going to cheat. Must expose real signatures!”

THE FACTS: There is nothing in the consent decree that prevents Georgia election clerks from scrutinizing signatures. The legal settlement signed in March addresses accusations about a lack of statewide standards for judging signatures on absentee ballot envelopes.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, said that not only is it entirely possible to match signatures, but that the state requires it.

When a voter requests an absentee ballot on a paper application, he or she must sign it. Election officials compare that signature to the signature in voter registration files before a ballot is sent to the voter, Raffensperger said.

When those ballots are returned, the required signature on the outer envelope is compared to signatures in the voter registration system.

This process was spelled out in detail in the consent decree, a legal settlement that was signed March 6.

A lawsuit by the Democratic Party, which led to the agreement, argued that minorities were disproportionately affected when they had their ballots rejected. Among other things, the settlement sets steps for local election officials to notify a voter -- by phone, mail or email -- in a timely fashion about problems with a signature.

The changes were made by the state election board."

 

Trump's claim that governor Kemp signed what he refers to as the 'consent decree' appears to be false. The GA State Election Board approved a settlement agreement. Kemp and the state legislature weren't involved in signing it.

During his pressure call, Trump argued with Raffensperger that it was a consent decree. Raffensperger said he didn't think the document was called a consent decree, but wasn't completely sure because he didn't have the document in front of him during the time of the phone call.


David Perdue's launched his campaign on claims about Georgia elections. Here's why they're false

excerpt:

"In the lawsuit, a settlement agreement (not a consent decree) was reached, which dismissed the lawsuit so long as the state agreed to follow the new SEB rule and issue a bulletin to counties clarifying the process election workers used to validate signatures on absentee ballots to include the new rejection timeline.

It did not change the rules surrounding signature match, had nothing to do with Stacey Abrams or Brian Kemp, and did not need to involve the legislature.

In fact, the State Election Board rule was created because of the legislature's changes to state law passed in 2019's House Bill 316.

So no, Brian Kemp did not "cave" to Stacey Abrams and hand over control of the elections."

 

David Perdue who is running for GA governor against Kemp seems to be confused about how elections work in GA.

Perdue said he wouldn't have certified Biden's election win in 2020, but he would have little power to do this as a governor at his own whim.

Not certfying an election (which would be done by the Secretary of State, not the governor) would cause problems for people like Trump who wouldn't be able to file lawsuits contesting an election because it hadn't yet been certified.


David Perdue's launched his campaign on claims about Georgia elections. Here's why they're false

excerpt:

"Could David Perdue choose not to certify election results if he is governor?

According to state law, no. But any theoretical action is possible if you make a claim about what you would have done for something that already happened.

O.C.G.A. § 21-2-499 (b) says once the Secretary of State certifies results of the presidential election, the governor "shall" certify the slates of presidential electors — and with a deadline, too.
The only way around that deadline and mandate to certify the results is "by an order of a judge of superior court."

Also: Certification of results is an important milestone that then allows for elections to be legally challenged, so not certifying results would have delayed or prevented some of the challenges filed by Trump's allies (though the courts rejected them, all the same) in the weeks after."

 

Trump lost his case in the federal appeals court to block the Jan. 6 committee from obtaining White House records.


https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/09/tru...6-panel-from-getting-white-house-records.html

excerpt:

"A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected President Donald Trump’s effort to block a House select committee from getting White House records related to the invasion of the Capitol.

The decision comes a day after Trump’s former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows sued in Washington federal court, seeking to void two subpoenas related to him that had been issued by the committee as part of its investigation into the Jan. 6 riot.

At issue in both cases is Trump’s claim that many of the materials sought by the select committee — including a tranche of White House records and testimony from his former staffers — are covered by executive privilege, the legal doctrine that protects White House communications from being made public. The Jan. 6 committee objected to Trump’s claims, and President Joe Biden waived privilege over the disputed records."

 

Trump and Perdue have been spreading misinformation about Kemp supposedly being able to call for a special legislative session to overturn the election for Trump.

Such maneuvers would be against state laws in GA.


David Perdue's launched his campaign on claims about Georgia elections. Here's why they're false

excerpt:

"What about calling a special session?

Many of Trump's allies and current Republican lawmakers have claimed Kemp should have called a special session to address voter fraud and change election laws ahead of the Jan. 5 runoffs for U.S. Senate and public service commissioner. Kemp rejected those calls and stated that state and federal law did not allow a session to select a separate slate of presidential electors.

In a joint statement with Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, the governor also said "Any attempt by the legislature to retroactively change that process for the Nov. 3 election would be unconstitutional and immediately enjoined by the courts, resulting in a long legal dispute and no short-term resolution.""

 

Trump and company have no use for these...

 

A major loss for Trump. He will likely appeal to the Supreme Court and lose there as well.

 

The supreme court can have him on the docket by about June.....delay delay delay deflect deflect deflect

 

That means Trump also has to infiltrate courts with his loyalists, in addition to the election boards, secretary of state, members of the state legislature, and the governor.

 

Georgia Republicans purge Black Democrats from county election boards

excerpt:

"But this was an entirely different five-member board than had overseen the last election. The Democratic majority of three Black women was gone. So was the Black elections supervisor.

Now a faction of three white Republicans controlled the board – thanks to a bill passed by the Republican-led Georgia legislature earlier this year. The Spalding board’s new chairman has endorsed former president Donald Trump’s false stolen-election claims on social media.

The panel in Spalding, a rural patch south of Atlanta, is one of six county boards that Republicans have quietly reorganized in recent months through similar county-specific state legislation. The changes expanded the party’s power over choosing members of local election boards ahead of the crucial midterm Congressional elections in November 2022.

The unusual rash of restructurings follows the state's passage of Senate Bill 202, which restricted ballot access statewide and allowed the Republican-controlled State Election Board to assume control of county boards it deems underperforming. The board immediately launched a performance review of the Democratic-leaning Fulton County board, which oversees part of Atlanta.

The Georgia restructurings are part of a national Republican effort to expand control over election administration in the wake of Trump’s false voter-fraud claims. Republican-led states such as Florida, Texas and Arizona have enacted new curbs on voter access this year. Backers of Trump’s false stolen-election claims are running campaigns for secretary of state - the top election official - in battleground states. And some Republicans in Wisconsin are seeking to eliminate the state’s bipartisan election commission and threatening its members with prosecution."

 

Judge clears way for legal challenge to Georgia's restrictive voting law

excerpt:

"A federal judge on Thursday rejected a request to dismiss a legal challenge to Georgia’s restrictive GOP-crafted voting law, clearing the way for the suit to proceed.

The lawsuit, filed this spring by the Georgia NAACP and other groups, alleges that the state’s new voting limits threaten to illegally suppress the vote of minority groups.

Legal challenges immediately arose after Gov. Brian Kemp (R) in March signed a sweeping elections bill that limits the use of ballot drop boxes, adds photo ID requirements for absentee voting and imposes other restrictions.

Among the defendants are Georgia’s Republic Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia Republican Party and other state officials, who in May asked for the case to be tossed.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Jean-Paul Boulee, a Trump appointee, rejected that request."

 

As prospect of jail looms, Capitol riot suspects express regret

excerpt:

"From behind bars after his arrest in March and with a bond hearing upcoming, Bruno Joseph Cua penned a letter to his judge, assuring the court he was regretful and had been humbled by the experience. “Lesson fully received, your Honor,” Mr. Cua wrote, according to court documents.

Two months earlier Mr. Cua posted enthusiastic notes on social media saying he’d been part of history in joining throngs rushing the Capitol, charging documents say. He added in a sentence that jurors would likely take as an admission of guilt: “Yes, we physically fought our way in.”"

 

Kenyon and his wife have been charged with child endangerment in addition to charges against Kenyon for rioting at the Capitol.

Trump's Jan. 6 rally and riot affecting Bob Dole funeral.


An event planner for Bob Dole's funeral was dismissed over accusations of involvement in the Capitol riot

exceort:

"The Elizabeth Dole Foundation let go of Tim Unes, an event planner working on former Sen. Bob Dole's funeral, after the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot subpoenaed him, according to The New York Times.

Dole, who died on Sunday at age 98, lay in state at the Capitol on Thursday, and his funeral will be held at the Washington National Cathedral on Friday, per The Times. A spokesperson for the Elizabeth Dole Foundation told The Times that Unes helped plan the events in Washington, DC.

But Unes was removed from the preparations after the Dole family became aware of his alleged ties to January 6. Representatives to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke with a contact for the Dole family about Unes' reported involvement in the riot, according to The Times."
