The Georgia Secretary of State announced that it would investigate any justified allegations of electoral fraud, while always protecting its integrity.

Georgia State Secretary-General Brad Raffensperger said on November 30 that his office is investigating more than 250 alleged "election fraud" and will review any credible allegations of abstinence.

Raffensperger said 23 investigators in his office were looking at allegations of absentee voting, as well as allegations of double voting, dead people voting, or improperly located.

However, Gabriel Sterling, the top official in Secretary-General Raffensperger's office, said these investigations did not appear likely to change the state election outcome.

The Georgia Secretary of State also responded to charges online and in the lawsuits that the state's election results were damaged by "rampant fraud".

"There are people who are trying to provoke the emotions of many supporters of President Donald Trump with strange allegations, half-truths and false information. To be frank, they are also misleading the President."

A lawyer during President Trump's campaign on Tuesday also sent a letter to Secretary-General Raffensperger requesting a check of signatures on absentee ballot applications.

Trump on the same day tweeted that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, a Republican, should use his emergency powers to "bypass the stubborn Secretary-General and check the matching of the signature on the envelope with the vote"

The US President said on November 29 that he felt ashamed to support Kemp in the 2018 Georgia election because he "did nothing" to challenge the state's election results.

Georgia is one of the battlefield states facing the most legal challenges from the Trump campaign.
