four of the legal challenges to the vote
count are being litigated now in georgia
president trump was in the state over
the weekend there he urged voters to
support
republicans kelly leffler and david
perdue in their senate runoff races
against radical dems and socialists
the two senators speeches were cut short
but clear demands from president trump's
supporters
listen to this
thank you thank you thank you we're
fighting
we're going to fight like you never saw
before thank you
the president not blushing but clearly
moved by the crowd's demand that we
fight
for trump president trump's rally took
place before today's voter registration
deadline for those
critical georgia runoff races fox news
correspondent jonathan cerry has more
now from decatur georgia
jonathan hi there lou well today georgia
election officials
recertified the results of the
presidential race they say that after
three counts the outcome remains the
same
georgia secretary of state brad
raffensberger
is now calling on both sides of the
aisle
to stop the conspiracy theories take a
listen
all this talk of a stolen election
whether it's stacey abrams
or the president of the united states is
hurting our state
the secretary of state is trying to
instill voter confidence as the peach
state heads towards
january 5th runoffs for both of its u.s
senate seats
last night republican senator kelly
lefler debated democratic challenger
rafael warnock
on largely national talking points
including covet 19
and the economy take a listen i'm a
matthew 25 christian that's what i am
i was hungry and you fed me i was
thirsty and you gave me something to
drink
i was sick and you visited me love your
neighbor
and for me that means you don't get rid
of your neighbor's health care
particularly in the middle of a pandemic
i'm not going to be lectured by someone
that uses the bible to justify
abortion to attack our men and women in
the military
in a separate debate george's other
republican senator david perdue chose
not to participate so he was represented
by an empty podium as his democratic
challenger jon ossoff
fielded questions alone and lou midnight
is the deadline for
new voters to register online in time to
participate
in the january 5th runoff elections for
these two
senate seats that will determine the
balance of power in the u.s senate lou
back to you
jonathan it's got to be deeply
concerning i was going to say for the
people of georgia but frankly for the
american people
nothing has been changed as far as i
understand it about the electoral system
in georgia
there has been no response to the cries
of corruption
uh and irregularities and video proof
of them what is the the sense that you
get
uh in terms of registration as you put
it to the deadline tonight
for this upcoming january 5th election
are we seeing a surge
is there disquiet and
fewer people stepping up to register
yeah you know it's the question everyone
wants to know we will probably have to
wait until tomorrow
until we get the uh exact numbers of
people registering
uh one of the frustrating things you
wanna
know you know does this do these new
registrations favor democrats do they
favor republicans
well georgia is an open primary state
and so
until a primary election where you
request a democrat or republican ballot
you don't declare upfront you don't
register as a democrat
or republican so the number that we will
get
is going to be overall registrations you
have individual
organizations democrat and republican
recruiting voters
both of them are claiming that they're
getting
massive registrations but we don't have
a scientific figure just yet on which
party is favored
how about an anecdotal indicator as to
whether or not the invitation by some of
the
democrats for people to come into the
state particularly young people to
register
have we got an indicator as to whether
that occurred or not
the secretary of state's office which is
run by a
republican as soon as they caught wind
of it
they very publicly said don't game our
system
and so while there may have been some
efforts early on to get people to move
to the state
well with the threats of the being
charged with a felony
and being thrown in jail it appears that
those efforts very quickly
fizzled out early on lou
good news
