On Monday, President Trump blasted Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp over the recounting process, leading Raffensperger to push back. While left-leaning articles highlight that two years ago it would have been unimaginable for Trump to attack Kemp as being soft on voter fraud, right-leaning articles highlight that Trump called on Kemp to override Raffensperger on matching signatures during the state’s recount.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that although both Kemp and Raffensperger have repeatedly warned about voter fraud in recent years, Trump still attacked Kemp on being soft on voter fraud. However, many Republicans have stayed pretty quiet about Trump’s allegations.
USA Today published a centrist article reporting that Raffensperger said “Truth matters, especially around election administration,” before announcing that officials are on schedule to finish the latest recount by the end of Wednesday. Raffensperger’s remarks come after Democratic Fulton County, which is home to Atlanta and the state’s most populous county, hit a recounting roadblock on Sunday as the mobile server from Dominion Voting Systems crashed.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that in a tweet, Trump called on Kemp to override Raffensperger on matching signatures during the state’s recount, as Raffensperger has said that matching the signature on the outer envelope to the absentee ballot on the inside is impossible. Trump told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that he’s “ashamed” he endorsed Kemp during his 2018 race against Democrat Stacey Abrams.
