Statement from the Trump legal team on Georgia

"Today, the Trump campaign filed a petition for recount in Georgia. We are focused on ensuring that every aspect of Georgia State Law and the U.S. Constitution are followed so that every legal vote is counted. President Trump and his campaign continue to insist on an honest recount in Georgia, which has to include signature matching and other vital safeguards. Without signature matching, this recount would be a sham and again allow for illegal votes to be counted. If there is no signature matching, this would be as phony as the initial vote count and recount. Let's stop giving the People false results. There must be a time when we stop counting illegal ballots. Hopefully it is coming soon."

Trump campaign statement on Georgia

"Headlines are already falsely reporting that Joe Biden is declared the winner in Georgia. Sorry, media, that's not how it works. The State of Georgia has not certified its results, and it should not. This so-called hand recount went exactly as we expected because Georgia simply recounted all of the illegal ballots that had been included in the total. We continue to demand that Georgia conduct an honest recount, which includes signature matching. We intend to pursue all legal options to ensure that only legal ballots are counted."

-Jenna Ellis, Trump Campaign Senior Legal Advisor

"Every American should be outraged by the dysfunction of our national voting system."

President Trump recently tweeted the following short clip highlighting ballot 'miscounts' in Fayette County and Floyd County:

"This whole Georgia recount thing. In Fayette County they had 2,600 ballots not counted. Floyd County 2,700 ballots not counted. That's about 7 and 8 percent of the total voters in those counties, Brad. But I mean this is significant. If it was a larger county, if a larger county turns up this is one of those things that is a big issue."

"This is an outrage. Every American should be outraged by the dysfunction of our national voting system having fifty different standards. If anything it shows a light that we need a national uniform voting standard for all 50 states. We should be voting the same in California as we do in Alabama as we do in New York and elsewhere.

"Ben, thank God for Donald Trump not conceding because we would never have known these things. This would have been swept under the rug. The press wouldn't have focused on it. Donald Trump is doing a great service in exposing the dysfunction and the criminality and the negligence and the incompetence of our voting system. It's not the Russians or the Chinese who are interfering with our election. It's us."

The Georgia recount is a sham

The Georgia recount is a sham. Only one observer is allowed per ten tables, so observers are only able to watch 10% of what happens. They are't checking signatures. They aren't matching absentee votes with addresses. Fraudulent ballots are simply being recounted.

Here's a short video recorded by one of the observers at the hand count:

"This is Susan Knox. It's Friday, November 13th. I'm in Cobb County, Jim Miller Park. We are looking at the recount for President, and if you tell me you could see what these people are doing and which box they're putting this in. I mean this is horrible for our integrity of our election process."
