Supporters of President Donald Trump have called for a boycott of the crucial Georgia Senate runoff elections in a move that threatens Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell‘s plan to restrain President-elect Joe Biden.
The two Georgia runoff elections, scheduled for January 5 with early voting starting on December 14, will determine control of the Senate, meaning Biden’s ability to push through a Democratic agenda under his first term. But a number of pro-Trump Republicans have taken to Parler, the “free-speech” social media platform, to discourage members of their own party from voting.
Screenshots shared by reporter Marcus Baram showed Trump supporters invoking a conspiracy theory about “rigged” voting machines to urge a boycott of the upcoming elections in Georgia. “Don’t vote! Don’t be part of the corruption” one post read.
“DO NOT VOTE IN THE GEORGIA RUNOFFS, THE DEEP STATE WILL BE COLLECTING EVERYONE’S INFO. THIS IS A CHARADE, MEANT TO IDENTIFY PEOPLE WHO DON’T VOTE DEMOCRAT,” another user wrote. “STAY HOME. OSSOFF AND WARNOCK ARE A SMALL PRICE TO PAY.”
This formerly respected defense lawyer, Lin wood, (who is defending Kyle Rittenhouse) is one of those leading the charge:
Mitch cast his lot with Donald Trump… it may just blow back on him.
Update: Well, it looks like someone’s getting nervous, probably Mitch and the boys:
NO, Powell was definitely part of the team,:
In case you are wondering why this member of the “elite strike force” has been exiled, it’s because she’s been the one spearheading the idea that Loeffler and Perdue are in cahoots with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to steal the election in Georgia.
For real.
Here is Powell’s interview on Newsmax on Saturday in which she threatens to screw up the Georgia Senate election:
Levying explosive claims of widespread voter fraud specifically tied to Dominion Voting Systems and potentially a pay-for-play scheme with GOP Gov. Brian Kemp, Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell on Newsmax TV vowed to deliver a “biblical” voter fraud case this week.
“We’ve got tons of evidence; it’s so much, it’s hard to pull it all together,” Powell told Saturday night’s “The Count” co-hosted by Rob Schmitt and Mark Halperin, teasing the explosive allegation of the Georgia governor in a contested and key battleground state.
“Hopefully this week we will get it ready to file, and it will be biblical.”
“It’s a massive project to pull this fraud claim together with the evidence that I want to put in,” she added.
“You name the manner of fraud and it occurred in Georgia.”
Among the most explosive claims alluded to by Powell were:
Joe Biden votes being “weighted” at 1.25 times and President Donald Trump votes being parsed at 3/4.
Algorithms that gave Democrats 35,000 extra votes.
Modifications made to voting machines after statuatory cutoff dates for changes.
Past election victories, including Hillary Clinton’s primary victory over Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., being forced decided by Dominion Voting Systems.
Alleged pay-for-play kick backs to public officials, potentially even Georgia GOP Gov. Kemp for a late grant to use Dominion Voting Systems.
“Georgia is probably going to be the first state I’m gonna blow up,” Powell said rhetorically with her pending lawsuits alleging massive voter fraud.

And to think just a few days ago the RNC was singing her praises:
It sounds as though Mitch and the rest of the GOP finally stepped in but only because of the potential to suppress the vote in Georgia in the runoff. I hate to say though, they may be too late. This is the kind of conspiracy theory that once let out of the bottle on social media is very hard to contain. Unless Trump himself comes out and says its all a big lie — and I just can’t see him doing that — this could be a big problem even if Powell is deep-sixed.
