In a series of Tweets Georgia GOP Chair David Schafer has accused Fulton County election officials of improper behavior.
Schafer said Fulton County election officials counted ballots in a secret after-hours session.
“Let me repeat. Fulton County elections officials told the media and our observers that they were shutting down the tabulation center at State Farm Arena at 10:30 p.m. on election night only to continue counting ballots in secret until 1:00 a.m.” Schafer tweeted.
Fulton County is the most populous county in the state with just over 1 million residents.
“No one disputes that Fulton County elections officials falsely announced that the counting of ballots would stop at 10:30 p.m. No one disputes that Fulton County elected officials unlawfully resumed the counting of ballots after our observers left the center,” Schafer said in another tweet.
Schafer also called out the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for its non-reporting on the issue.
“The @AJC is gaslighting you when they report that there is no evidence of irregularity in the election,” Schafer said in a final tweet.
The latest vote counts show Joe Biden's lead over Donald Trump in Georgia to be 12,651 votes.
