Loss of GOP Senate candidate Doug Collins to lead Trump campaign Georgia recount

The Trump campaign announced today that newly defeated Representative Doug Collins, who lost the state Senate race this week, will now lead the GOP’s efforts to recount Georgia’s votes. According to the Associated Press, Collins got about 20% of the vote in the race for a special second round in January between GOP rival Kelly Loeffler and Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock. “Republicans support the ideal that every eligible voter should be able to vote legally and have them count,” Collins said Sunday in a joint statement with the Trump campaign, which continued to promote the narrative of “poorly collected ballots.” and significant illegalities or fraudulent voting. There is so far no evidence to support this claim.
