Georgia GOP Congress Members Misspelled 'Georgia' in a Letter Alleging 'Voting Irregularities' and the Jokes Came Streaming in

President Donald Trump and his allies are still rejecting the reality that President-elect Joe Biden defeated Trump's attempt at a second term in office.

The Trump campaign is falsely claiming that widespread voter fraud—of which there is no evidence—tipped the election to Biden. Both Trump campaign and Trump administration officials have peddled this lie while eroding Trump's supporters' faith in American democracy.


Republicans in the state legislature of Georgia—the typically red state which Biden narrowly won—are amplifying these baseless claims to Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

Members of Georgia's Republican Congressional delegation signed a letter to Raffensperger urging him to look into allegations made by the Trump campaign and the Georgia Republican party of "voting irregularities."

But in the address of its letter, the delegation misspelled the name of their own state.

See if you can spot it.

The delegation referred to Raffensperger as:

"George Secretary of State"

The typo, coupled with the bogus claims in the letter, instantly became the subject of ridicule.






In addition to the GOP state delegation, Raffensperger is facing an onslaught of pressure from other prominent Republicans in Georgia.

Georgia Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, both of whose races recently advanced to runoffs, recently issued a joint statement calling on Raffensperger to resign for what they said were irregularities in Georgia's voting. They apparrently failed to realize that their names were on the same ballots as Trump's, thereby calling their own elections into question.

News later broke that Trump threatened to withdraw support from Loeffler and Perdue if they didn't publicly bolster his claims of voter fraud.

Raffensperger said unequivocally that he would not resign, and others think the tactics of these Georgia Republicans are as deplorable as they are doomed to fail.



Raffensperger is pursuing an audit of the November election in Georgia, but with Biden leading by thousands of votes, the outcome isn't expected to change.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
