Democrats, with an assist from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, have effectively withdrawn the red from the state of Georgia, according to Trump campaign pollster John McLaughlin on Newsmax TV.
"Georgia's no longer a decisive Republican state," McLaughlin told Saturday's "The Count."
McLaughlin pointed to the Amistad Project's report on the $500 million in funding from Zuckerberg that helped place dropboxes in Democrat-controlled areas more than Republican strongholds, if not violating election law than at least violating equal protection under the law as prescribed in the U.S. Constitution.
"It's crazy that the Republican National Committee has not filed an FEC [Federal Elections Commission] complaint against Mark Zuckerberg on this," McLaughlin told host Tom Basile. "It's a corporate contribution. The dropboxes are in Democrat areas.
"They spent about $47 per voter in the Democrat areas and only $4-$7 in the Republican areas."
Also, McLaughlin noted from his exit polling Nov. 3, 17% of the vote in Georgia was taken from the mail-in ballots at dropboxes and Biden won those voters at an eye-popping 73%-27% margin.
President Trump did get 68% of Election Day in-person vote versus 30% for Biden, but McLaughlin said Sens. David Perdue, R-Ga., and Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., likely need that and more Jan. 6.
"They need that turnout again just to come close," McLaughlin projects.
