Contradicts. Politifact reported that Georgia GOP senators alleged election malfeasance without citing specific malfeasance or evidence, and Georgia's Republican election chief was not shown to have committed any.[1]
Contradicts. Georgia officials certified Ossoff's January 2021 runoff victory over Perdue, Perdue conceded, and no evidence has emerged to support claims that the election was rigged.[4]
