It’s understandable why Georgia politicians support a lawsuit against their own state, according to Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga. on Newsmax TV.
"There’s been so much concern about the election security and election integrity here in Georgia and other places that the suit is going forward and it gets it to the Supreme Court and, as the president said, brings it into one final push," Collins told host Grant Stinchfield on Thursday’s Stinchfield.
"This is an original jurisdiction case for the Supreme Court. That means it's not like other Supreme Court cases that they hear. They are actually acting as a trial court, so they can look at evidence. They’re not determining if something was done wrong in a lower court, they’re actually the arbiters of the original jurisdiction here. We’ll see It’s an uphill battle."
Earlier, Georgia State Senator William Ligon told Stinchfield 15 fellow state senators and 12 state representatives joined together to support the lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against four battleground states, including Georgia, lost by President Donald Trump.
Paxton claims election results were inaccurate due to unconstitutional and late changes to the election process.
"In Georgia, we’ve got to have some clarity and some more push down here because what we saw has left a lot of people really concerned about what could happen on Jan. 5,” said Collins, citing the date of the US Senate runoff elections. “That’s the biggest issue we have in the country right now.”
Collins also was asked why Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger refused to order verification of signatures from the November election.
"They’re trying so hard to say nothing was wrong down here. Now let’s think about this, there was a run election, the vast majority of the counts were fine,” Collins said. “Right now, he has over 258 investigations going on out of his own office. The [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] and the governor has ordered that law enforcement can look into this – I want to see more of this.”
