As votes were being tabulated Tuesday night in Georgia's two tight Senate runoff contests, President Donald Trump predicted election officials in the state would release a large tranche of results that would overwhelm the Republican candidates.
And he implied that it would be an act of voter fraud. “Looks like they are setting up a big ‘voter dump’ against the Republican candidates.
Waiting to see how many votes they need?” the president tweeted just before 10:30 p.m. ET.In reality, however, such lead swings and releases of voting results during an election are commonplace and ordinary.
HOW ARE THEY ORDINARY? They reflect the usual ebb and flow of a process that entails tabulating and releasing massive batches of results, with leads often.
