Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Monday pushed Republicans to get out the vote in Georgia while also spreading claims that Democrats “steal” votes, Fox News reports.
Gingrich told “Fox & Friends” that members of the GOP “need to vote” in Georgia’s upcoming runoff elections “because the key to a Republican victory is to have more votes than the left can steal.”
Republicans must "turn out more votes than Stacey Abrams can steal,” he said.
Gingrich went on to claim that there were over 1 million unverified absentee ballots in the 2020 election that “nobody can explain.”
He added, “The agreement the Secretary of State [Brad Raffensperger] made with Stacey Abrams was crazy. They have their back now once again with these boxes where you can drop off ballots, which are an invitation to going out and gathering votes, which is illegal under Georgia law.”
Raffensperger has refused calls to overturn the results of the election in his state, which Joe Biden won by several thousand votes according to three statewide recounts, which included a hand recount and a machine recount. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has also rejected calls for a special legislative session to overturn the results, which were certified last month.
Gingrich went on to claim that “Republicans have learned they are spending an enormous amount of energy monitoring every one of these drop boxes,” and said that he had never before seen an election so “blatantly in favor of being stolen and unorganized.”
