Saying he has "not told anyone not to vote," Georgia attorney L. Lin Wood on Newsmax TV implored an investigation and a special session of the legislature to "fix" fraud before the Jan. 5 Senate runoffs and the Jan. 6 House certification of the presidential election.
This is not a runoff boycott, according to Wood, this is a maximum pressure campaign to fix fraud that Democrats and even hesitant Republicans do not have the courage to fix.
"The whole down ballot was contaminated by fraud," Wood told Thursday's "Greg Kelly Reports." "So it's a matter of whether you stand up to truth, or whether you go into a election that you know by definition is going to be a lie, because it's rigged.
"America doesn't deal in elections that are rigged. If we start doing it now, it's a slippery slope. We'll never be able to climb back up that hill and get back to do the days of an honest vote."
Incumbent Sens. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., and David Perdue, R-Ga., are facing tight runoffs for Georgia's two Senate seats that can bolster the Republican majority, and they need to support Wood's call for an investigation and a special legislative session, Wood told host Greg Kelly.
"The people of Georgia are mad," Wood said. "They knew who they voted for. They knew their vote was stolen.
"I'll tell you right now: I don't live in Venezuela; I'm not going to go vote in a rigged election, because you're going to be validating and affirming that it's O.K. to do so. If you go voting in one rigged election, you have turned over the power in this country to the highest bidder that can buy the election.
"That's not American."
Wood is leading the "stop the steal" movement in Georgia, "fighting for the president" and "the American people."
"I am fully convinced there was an attempt to steal this election from the president, to steal it from the American people," Wood said. "And the fraud that was involved in trying to steal it, it's mounting up, the evidence.
"It's mounting up every day."
Wood suggested "the right to vote in a free and fair and honest election" is important enough to pressure Republicans who want to preserve the Senate majority to join President Trump's fight to contest the election in the Supreme Court.
"Why in the world would you go and vote in another rigged election?" Wood said.
Otherwise, that Senate majority will not matter anyway.
"If they lose, they can blame me if they want to, but they ought to be blaming themselves, because they're the ones that are not demanding the governor [Brian Kemp] to take action," Wood continued. "They're the ones that are not demanding the election be fixed, so who's really at fault?
Wood noted Senate Republicans already have 50 seats and Vice President Mike Pence would give the GOP the majority if Trump ultimately wins reelection.
