The Georgia Republican Caucus issued a statement on the "millions" of calls from Georgians concerning the 2020 General Election.

“We will fix this,” the statement reads. “Our state constitution precludes us from calling a special session due to the lack of a three-fifths majority in both chambers. As constitutionalists, we must respect that.” 

The statement noted that the state’s laws have no avenue to allow them to retroactively alter the Nov. 3 results even if they could secure the required number of votes.

“However, an avenue to move this matter even quicker than special session now exists and is pending before the United States Supreme Court,” the statement reads.

The Republicans are asking for elections officials to engage the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) to investigate fraudulent activities and ask that counties preserve data from the election for the purposes of conducting a forensic audit.

The majority party is also conducting public hearings regarding alleged fraud and for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to release a certified list of all voters in the election and a certified list of all newly-registered voters in the state between Oct. 5 and Dec. 7.

“Posterity and legitimacy of our Republic – guaranteed to us by our Constitution – require no less than our diligence, our time, and our utmost attention,” the statement read. “Do not fall prey to the ploys of the Left, who would have you stay home and not exercise your right to vote on January 5, 2021.”

The statement urged everyone to vote in the run-off election in January.

“We cannot protect the Republic without you,” the statement said. “Join the Senate Republican Caucus to ensure we get every possible legal vote cast in the run-off election. An overwhelming victory for our Senators and our Public Service Commissioner on January 5, 2021 will send a strong message!”
