President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, reposting a long conspiracy theory screed alleging mass voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, and calling for the state’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, to be jailed, alongside Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Atlanta poll worker Ruby Freeman.
“BREAKING: The Georgia Board of Elections just dropped this BOMBSHELL revealing that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of ballots in Georgia in the 2020 presidential election were counted twice and it was NOT by human error – but by INTENTIONAL HUMAN INTERVENTION, which was in fact MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD that STOLE the election from the actual winner of Georgia, President Donald J Trump,” said the original post, made by the account @Joshua2024.
“It’s official guys and the evidence is all out after 5 long, painful years: The 2020 election was STOLEN from all of us and President Trump was the lawful winner of the state of Georgia,” said the post. “Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Governor Brian Kemp and other top Georgia elections officials were paid off to ‘look the other way’ and knowingly certify this FRAUDULENT election. So when do the arrests start? Ruby Freeman should have to pay Rudy back reparations and every single penny that she got off of him based on a BIG LIE AND A FALSE PRETENSE. And her, Raffensperger, Kemp and every single one of their fellow ELECTION RIGGERS MUST BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW.”
“This was the POLITICAL CRIME OF THE CENTURY and they should never be allowed to show their faces in the public again without being shouted down by we the people for stealing our vote and our President from us,” the post concluded. “RESIGN NOW, YOU RINO TRAITORS. When President Trump was talking about the enemy from within, he was talking about people like them.”
“Thank you Joshua. Total Crooks!!!” Trump replied while screenshotting the post.
The claims made in the post refer to an admission made by an attorney representing Fulton County earlier this month, that some tabulator tapes — a record of voter counts used in the verification process — were not correctly signed by poll workers in accordance with state law. These tapes represented receipts for around 315,000 early votes.
There is no evidence, however, that any of the ballots on these tapes were “counted twice” or that this oversight altered the outcome of the election. Raffensperger has clarified, “Georgia has the most secure elections in the country and all voters were verified with photo ID and lawfully cast their ballots. A clerical error at the end of the day does not erase valid, legal votes.”
“Donald Trump’s 2020 election conspiracies are hogwash, and he should stop endorsing messages calling for Governor Kemp and Secretary Raffensperger’s arrest,” posted Georgia State constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis on X. “It’s unfathomably stupid and irresponsible.”
