The suit could further Perdue's effort to sew up the votes of Trump backers who believe the election was stolen as he tries to come back from his Senate election loss, saying that's how he'll unify the Republican Party and beat Kemp in the primary and then Abrams. Above, the former senator speaks during a rally in Augusta on December 10, 2020. Trump also encouraged Perdue, a longtime ally to the former president, to run for governor.ĭavid Perdue, a Republican candidate in Georgia's gubernatorial race, has joined a lawsuit that claims former President Donald Trump was the victim of voter fraud in the 2020 election. Kemp has been criticized by Trump for allegedly failing to prevent voter fraud by certifying Georgia's election results. "Keep in mind that lawsuit after lawsuit regarding the 2020 election was dismissed in part because Perdue declined to be listed as a plaintiff." "David Perdue is so concerned about election fraud that he waited a year to file a lawsuit that conveniently coincided with his disastrous campaign launch," said Cody Hall, a spokesman for Kemp. His campaign thinks Perdue's decision to join the lawsuit is meant to cover up a faulty campaign. Kemp doesn't seem too worried about the new development. Whoever wins the nomination likely will run against Democrat Stacey Abrams for the seat. Perdue is running against Governor Brian Kemp and others-Vernon Jones, Kandiss Taylor and Catherine Davis, so far-to secure the Republican nomination. Perdue's new involvement in the lawsuit comes after he had said that he wouldn't have certified the state's 2020 election results if he had been governor. "We are asking a judge to consider the evidence after our forensic examination of the absentee ballots is completed and hold those persons responsible who engaged in this wrongful conduct." "I want to use my position and legal standing to shine light on what I know were serious violations of Georgia law in the Fulton absentee ballot tabulation," Perdue said through a statement from his lawyers. The suit claims that fraudulent votes were counted in Fulton County, despite ongoing investigations that say no voter fraud took place.
