总统唐纳德·特朗普周五下午在佐治亚州提起新的诉讼，正式对2008年的结果提出质疑选举并请求在一系列长期合法投标到目前为止，该州的共和党选举官员对此进行了顽强的抵抗。
这起最新的诉讼声称，该州的选举法“被忽视、抛弃、忽视、修改和以其他方式违反”，从而允许“足够数量的非法选票被包括在内”。
特朗普竞选团队及其盟友已经提出申请类似的诉讼全国各地超过46次，并尚未获得牵引力。在竞选团队提交新的佐治亚州诉讼的同一天，支持特朗普的法律努力在密歇根州和内华达州遭到失败。
一名内华达州法官尖锐地裁定，特朗普团队“未能履行提供可信和相关证据的责任”...参加2020年11月3日的大选。”
新的佐治亚州案件特别对选举前所做的修改提出异议，这些修改涉及邮寄投票做法和签名匹配规则。它还包括几十项基于证人宣誓书的欺诈指控，但证据很少。
作为一种补救措施，特朗普团队建议该州“下令尽早举行新的总统选举”。

民主党人乔·拜登在佐治亚州的胜利是微弱的——根据目前的投票结果，他以11769票的优势获胜机器重新计数特朗普竞选团队要求的。但是重新计票的结果手工审计根据格鲁吉亚国务卿的说法，这表明竞选的结果不会改变。
格鲁吉亚副国务卿乔丹·福克斯(Jordan Fuchs)开玩笑说，特朗普“在选举后比选举前花了更多时间在格鲁吉亚竞选”。
“佐治亚州正在结束第三次合法投票，结果没有改变，”福克斯说。
Trump mounts another legal challenge to election, asking Georgia for a do-over
PresidentDonald Trumpfiled a new lawsuit in Georgia Friday afternoon officially contesting the results of theelectionand requesting a do-over -- another in a series oflong-shot legal bidsthat have so far met with stiff resistance from the state's Republican election officials.
This latest suit alleges that the state's election code was "disregarded, abandoned, ignored, altered, and otherwise violated," thereby allowing "a sufficient number of illegal votes to be included."
The Trump campaign and its allies have filedsimilar lawsuitsaround the country more than 46 times, and have yet to gain traction. On the same day the campaign submitted the new Georgia suit, pro-Trump legal efforts met with defeat in Michigan and Nevada.
A Nevada judge ruled pointedly that the Trump team "failed to meet their burden to provide credible and relevant evidence ... to contest the November 3, 2020 General Election."
The new Georgia case specifically takes issue with changes made prior to the election involving mail-in ballot practices and signature matching rules. It also includes dozens of allegations of fraud based on witness affidavits, but with little evidence.
As a remedy, the Trump team suggests the state "order a new Presidential Election to occur at the earliest opportune time."
Democrat Joe Biden's victory in Georgia is narrow -- he's winning by 11,769 votes, according to the current results of themachine recountrequested by the Trump campaign. But the result of the recount -- which follows an earlierhand audit-- indicates that the outcome of the race will not change, according to Georgia's secretary of state.
Jordan Fuchs, Georgia's deputy secretary of state, joked that Trump has "spent more time campaigning in Georgia after the election" than before it.
"The state of Georgia is wrapping up its third count of legally cast ballots, and the results have not changed," Fuchs said.
