These comments have raised some remarks in Republican circles that Republicans may not vote in the Georgia races because they do not accept the electoral system as true.
These fears were exacerbated by Trump allies Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, who advised last month that Georgia Republicans would be absent from the Senate circular for the time being, raising allegations of presidential fraud. But the Trump crusade litigation in the Peach estate was ignored and they did not provide evidence of fraud in court.
