Trump blasts Georgia Governor for not backing his voter fraud claims
US President Donald Trump has blasted the Republican Governor of Georgia Brian Kemp for not backing his claims of voter fraud that he alleged cost him the election to his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.
Trump on Sunday condemned the use of Dominion Voting Systems machines in Georgia, which the president and some others say rigged the election in Biden’s favor.
Trump blamed Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for approving the rules of the election in Georgia, where Biden defeated Trump by just more than 12,000 votes.
"Everything has to be approved by the legislature, and they had judges making deals, and they had electoral officials making deals like this character in Georgia who’s a disaster," Trump said of Raffensperger, who has defended the integrity of the presidential election in Georgia.
"And the governor’s done nothing. He’s done absolutely nothing," Trump added of Kemp. "I’m ashamed that I endorsed him. But I look what’s going on. It's so terrible."
Trump has refused to concede defeat in the election and mounted multiple legal challenges to reverse the results in several key states. Biden was declared the projected winner.
However, his campaign’s efforts have so far met with little success in the courtroom or on the ground.
The court decision paved the way for Pennsylvania to certify Biden's victory there. On Monday, Pennsylvania certified Biden, who won the state’s popular vote, as its winner.
Biden won the state-by-state Electoral College votes, which decide who takes the White House, by 306 to 232, according to media reports.
