A senior electoral officer in Georgia has made an urgent appeal to incumbent US President Donald Trump in the face of ongoing doubts about the election results and threats of violence against those involved in the election. “Show your size, stop it. Step in, tell your supporters: Don’t be violent. Stop threatening. All of this is wrong, it’s not American, ”Gabriel Sterling said in a statement to the press in Atlanta.
Addressing Trump, the official said: “You have the right to go to court,” he said. But he appears to be unable to “stop getting people to commit possible acts of violence.” Sterling warned, “Someone is going to get hurt. Someone is going to get shot. Someone will be killed. ”
Sterling said he was angry at the threats electoral officials had to endure in the southern state. Trump was narrowly defeated by election winner Joe Biden there. A second vote count is currently in progress. However, those responsible do not expect any change in the result this time either.
Sterling accused Trump and senators of failing to condemn threats. It’s about elections and thus about the backbone of democracy. “All of you who didn’t say a damn word were complicit,” he said. “Death threats, threats of violence, intimidation. This is too much.”
Trump and his confidants have been raising the mood for weeks against those responsible for elections in Georgia, for example against Republican State Secretary Brad Raffensperger, who claims to have received death threats.
On Monday, one of the president’s lawyers, Joseph diGenova, called on a television show and said that Christopher Krebs, the former head of the U.S. cybersecurity agency, should be shot. Krebs was fired by Trump after he said there was no evidence that voting was compromised.
