Georgia state legislators call for special session to review election

Georgia State Legislators are introducing a petition to call a Special Session on December 8, 2020. The session would be meant to review the election results and alleged fraud. The petition must be signed by three-fifths of the members of each house. The lawmakers must also give a copy to the secretary of state.

This comes as Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger attests, “we don’t see anything that would overturn the will of the people.” Nonetheless, Senator Burt Jones said “we believe we have reached the point that the results of this election are untrustworthy.

“Such pervasive disregard for election laws by our election officials requires a decisive response. It is time for our legislative body to do its job,” he continued.

Joe Biden is certified to have won the state of Georgia by 12,284 votes.
