Peter Navarro, a key White House adviser to President Trump, is urging Georgia officials to delay by a month the Jan. 5 runoff races in that state that will determine control of the U.S. Senate so that GOP concerns about November election irregularities can be resolved first.

"It is a cesspool," Navarro said of Georgia's election system.

Navarro, the president's chief adviser on manufacturing and trade issues, recently issued a report as a private citizen entitled "Immaculate Deception" that catalogued six categories of irregularities in the presidential election that have concerned Republicans. He told Just the News that Georgia encountered problems in all six categories, and the state needs to restore confidence among the electorate, especially Republicans, before proceeding with the all-important Senate runoffs.

Republicans have secured 50 seats in the next U.S. Senate, with Democrats holding 48. The runoff races between GOP incumbent Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue and their respective Democratic challengers, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, will determine which party controls the Senate.

No.
We may NEED those two seats if there is "an objection" in the Senate to the electors on January 6.

I agree with a suggestion I read earlier, where both Loeffler and Perdue pledge to raise an objection to the electors if they themselves are re-elected.

I can't see how this will hurt them, and it just might bring out enough Georgia voters to put them over the top.
