Trump Urges Georgia Governor to Strengthen Recount Using Emergency Powers
Charlie Spiering 30 Nov 2020
President Donald Trump on Monday warned Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) of a “goldmine of fraud†without signature matching for mail-in ballots in the state recount.
“Why won’t Governor Brian Kemp, the hapless Governor of Georgia, use his emergency powers, which can be easily done, to overrule his obstinate Secretary of State, and do a match of signatures on envelopes,†Trump asked, referring to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R).
Trump channeled anger from Georgia state Republicans about the election results and the subsequent hand recounts that did not revisit the signature verification.
“Georgia Republicans are angry, all Republicans are angry. Get it done!†he wrote.
Raffensperger has claimed that matching the signatures is no longer possible because the ballots have been separated from the outer envelope.
But Trump argued that verifying the signatures in the recount would eliminate any potential fraud — both in the 2020 election and the Georgia Senate runoff election.
“It will be a ‘goldmine’ of fraud, and we will easily WIN the state,†Trump wrote.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp Rejects Trump’s Call to Strengthen Recount with Emergency Powers
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Monday shot down President Donald Trump’s call to bolster the state’s recount using his emergency powers.
“Georgia law prohibits the governor from interfering in elections. The Secretary of State, who is an elected constitutional officer, has oversight over elections that cannot be overridden by executive order,†Cody Hall, a spokesperson for Kemp, said in a statement to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “As the governor has said repeatedly, he will continue to follow the law and encourage the Secretary of State to take reasonable steps – including a sample audit of signatures – to restore trust and address serious issues that have been raised.â€
Earlier Monday, President Trump criticized Kemp for failing to tackle the “goldmine of fraud†in the state’s presidential election by not signature matching mail-in ballots.“Why won’t Governor Brian Kemp, the hapless Governor of Georgia, use his emergency powers, which can be easily done, to overrule his obstinate Secretary of State, and do a match of signatures on envelopes,†the president tweeted in reference to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R).

Kemp has a really big bully pulpit in his state and is refusing to use it for some reason to urge the claim of fraud to be examined.
He is not a very good governor for his citizens.

Kemp is not going to do anything that would expose Dominion fraud. Which is why he should fully support signature checks on mail-in ballots. The fact that he is not shows that he is being blackmailed by those who have the dirt on him regarding Dominion.
