President Donald Trump’s “absurd” demands in a new lawsuit to reverse his election loss in Georgia are too late to be valid and rely on rehashed voter-fraud claims that have already been “flatly rejected” in similar cases, the state’s Republican governor said in a court filing.
Trump seeks a court order requiring Georgia to “de-certify” its election result and allow the state’s GOP-led legislature to declare the winner instead -- a strategy that the president and his allies tried without success to force on several swing states after Trump’s decisive loss.
