Trump Files Lawsuit In Georgia Over Late Ballots

Democrat Joe Biden edged closer to a potential upset in Georgia – and to a White House win – coming within 1 point of President Donald Trump in the traditionally red state Wednesday night.

As the race narrowed, Trump’s campaign announced that they had filed a lawsuit in the state, alleging that a GOP poll observer witnessed 53 late absentee ballots added to a pile in Chatham County, where Savannah – a Democratic-leaning urban center – is located.

‘We will not allow Democrat election officials to steal this election from President Trump with late, illegal ballots,’ Deputy Campaign Manager Justin Clark said.

More totals from Georgia are expected Wednesday night. Trump held 49.9 per cent of the vote, while Biden had 48.9, with the president about 46,000 votes ahead.

The Georgia lawsuit was just the latest in a series of legal maneuvers Trump’s campaign made Wednesday as his path to re-election got narrower – and as the president made unfounded claims on Twitter about fraud.

On Wednesday afternoon, Biden all but declared he’d win the election, as Wisconsin and Michigan were called in his favor.

With Michigan – and with Arizona called for Biden by some networks – the former vice president was just 6 electoral votes away from the 270 he needs to claim the White House.

If he can get any one of the four remaining states to tilt his way – Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia or Pennsylvania – he will win.

Trump will only gain a second term if all four go his way. Trump has been up by around 76,000 votes in North Carolina.
