Georgia officials rejected President Donald Trump’s effort to pressure them to reverse the state’s election result, a day after he repeated unfounded claims of voting fraud and berated the Republican governor and secretary of state.
Trump has suggested calling a special session of the Georgia legislature to consider overturning President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the state, a move that Governor Brian Kemp isn’t planning to make, Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan said on Sunday.
