Former Republican senator and current Georgia gubernatorial candidate David Perdue<\/a> has joined a lawsuit seeking to reexamine ballots cast in the 2020 presidential election, pushing Donald Trump\u2019s lie that widespread fraud plagued the election in the state after it went to Joe Biden. Perdue, who announced his campaign earlier this week, claims \u201cserious violations\u201d occurred in Fulton County, where ballots have already been examined and re-tabulated by local and state election officials. They found no evidence of fraud. The former senator said, \u201cI 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.\u201d Georgia\u2019s secretary of state said Perdue\u2019s suit is \u201ctrying to curry favor with the Trump base by pushing election conspiracy theories.\u201d A spokesperson for Gov. Brian Kemp, Perdue\u2019s opponent, said, \u201cDavid Perdue is so concerned about election fraud that he waited a year to file a lawsuit that conveniently coincided with his disastrous campaign launch.\u201d Fulton County\u2019s commission chair called the lawsuit a \u201cdesperate attempt to appeal to believers of the big lie.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
