President Donald Trump is attacking the integrity of Georgia’s elections ahead of pair of crucial Senate runoff elections that will determine the balance of power in the chamber for at least the next two years. 

In a series of tweets on Friday, Trump took aim at Georgia’s election management as he wrote, “Before even discussing the massive corruption which took place in the 2020 Election, which gives us far more votes than is necessary to win all of the Swing States (only need three), it must be noted that the State Legislatures were not in any way responsible for the massive. changes made to the voting process, rules and regulations, many made hastily before the election, and therefore the whole State Election is not legal or Constitutional.”

“Additionally, the Georgia Consent Decree is Unconstitutional & the State 2020 Presidential Election is therefore both illegal and invalid, and that would include the two current Senatorial Elections. In Wisconsin, Voters not asking for applications invalidates the Election,” he continued.

Finally, he said, “All of this without even discussing the millions of fraudulent votes that were cast or altered!”

Twitter added a warning that read, “This claim about election fraud is disputed.”

The Georgia consent decree was the result of a lawsuit earlier this year that argued minority voters were disproportionately affected by having their ballots rejected due to issues with ballot signatures. It allowed election officials to notify voters of the issue so they could attempt to correct it.

Georgia voters will go to the polls on January 5 to vote in two runoff elections for the state’s two Senate seats, which will control the balance of power in the upper chamber.

Trump is scheduled to travel to the state on January 4 to campaign for incumbent Sens. David Perdue (R) and Kelly Loeffler (R).

Since the presidential election, Trump has made baseless allegations of widespread fraud in several states, including Georgia, and has repeatedly attacked the state’s Republican officials.

Earlier this week, Trump blasted Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) as an “obstructionist who refuses to admit that we won Georgia” and called on him to resign.

Kemp later dismissed the president’s call as he urged Georgia residents to focus on the Senate elections, telling reporters, “There is a constitutional and legal process that is playing out, and I am very comfortable letting that process play out. But that horse has left the barn in Georgia, and it’s headed to D.C. right now.”

“People need to be focused on the vote that is happening here, and that is right now in early voting, and it will be on Tuesday,” he added.
