Updating with Gov. Brian Kemp’s response:

The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen.

For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward - under oath - and prove anything in a court of law. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor.

The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus.

    When Donald Trump first claimed the election was rigged. The Republican led Michigan state legislature, prior to deciding electors, invited him and his cabinent to present their evidence at an open session of their legislature; with the implications that if indeed there was legitimate evidence of widespread fraud in the state of Michigan they would use their Constitutional right to choose electors to modify who they sent to Congress.

    Trump didn’t show, he didn’t send a representative he sent zero evidence. He was 100% hot air then, he’s 100% hot air now.

      He was a known grifter before he even ran for president, how anyone voted for him in the first place is utterly flabbergasting. His go to move for the longest time has been hiring companies on the verge of bankruptcy to do expensive work for him, and then stiffing them on the bill and telling them to sue him for it knowing they can’t afford to take him to court. Interestingly enough, it looks like now he’s doing the same schtick to his legal teams, as several of his lawyers who are now in legal trouble (Rudy reportedly among them) are struggling to pay their own legal costs after being stiffed by Trump for the work they did for him.

    I thought we were going to get all the evidence 3 years ago. Or was that his own DOJ saying there weren’t any materially significant voting irregularities? Honestly, it’s hard to keep up anymore.

      Remember when he had a crack team of people investigating Obama’s birth certificate in Hawaii and we “wouldn’t believe what they’re finding” fun stuff.

    In Trump’s dyspeptic liver of a brain “irrefutable” simply means bigly.

      I’m pretty sure he also was supposed to bring out the proof a few years ago. I never saw any of it. Only mindless conspiracies that weren’t founded in reality.

    Didn’t we already get that information, from the grand jury in Georgia? I suppose it’s not “irrefutable proof” of election fraud but they make a good case for it

    A promise to produce an “Irrefutable REPORT” is self-breaking as it’s likely not possible to produce such a report about any subject, let alone one about the subject matter promised.

    EDIT: There’s a reason why “not guilty” and “reasonable doubt” exist as concepts in law. It’s very difficult to 100% prove that something happened, only that there was a high certainty that that’s what occurred, and it’s 100% impossible to prove a negative.

      Ehhh, just to be that guy, it is quite possible to prove a negative in certain circumstances. One of those is by exhaustive search, another is by proving a positive which is incompatible with the negative claim. I can prove the statement, “Sarah Silverman is not waiting in my bed for me right now,” fairly trivially by a quick check under the covers. One could also prove it by showing that she is actually somewhere else. A less-trivial example is the statement, “The election was not stolen by widespread voter fraud in 2020,” which has been proved by the efforts of countless election officials who have done both, ruling out the possibility of significant fraud anywhere, and positively proving the vote through multiple, routine election-integrity measures.

        If you scope it all the way down to something miniscule then yes, but it’s not possible to prove negatives more generally.

        Proving non-existence of a divine entity for instance.

      I’d say it’s 100% impossible to prove a positive as well. It can be close to 100%, assuming our knowledge of reality is correct, but there’s always the chance of something crazy, like everything being a simulation or whatever. Now, that concept isn’t useful so there’s no point considering it beyond that it’s possible so it should be ignored. Still, it could be true.

    Said the liar:

    A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey. Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others – There will be a complete EXONERATION! They never went after those that Rigged the Election. They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!

    Oh, good. I was beginning to think maybe it was all false hype. Glad he’s finally gonna show us how it happened. /s

    It warmed my heart that the author worked in the Four Seasons Total Landscaping stunt. Hahaha. What a joke. How anyone took their side seriously after that embarrassment is beyond me. Some people are very stupid.
