Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., said that there were “very serious problems in Georgia’s election,” although he hasn’t seen evidence of voter fraud in the state like the kind alleged by attorney Sidney Powell.
Hice told Newsmax TV's “John Bachman Now” that he hasn’t “seen anything” like the allegations of fraud from Powell, the lawyer that the Trump campaign recently said is not working with them despite appearing at a press conference hosted by Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani.
He added that Powell has “been making some pretty outlandish allegations, which is fine if you have the evidence to back it up, and if she does have the evidence she needs to start coming forth” with it. “Otherwise, it just kind of disincentives the base. They want to know if there’s real fraud, let’s see it and let’s deal with it.”
Hice said, “I think the majority of the country actually feels that way. They want fair and honest elections, and they’re willing to give time, right now, for the Trump team to prove those types of allegations, but when there are potentially allegations with nothing to back it up, that becomes problematic.”
However, he added, “there have been very serious problems in Georgia’s election, and we do need to have a recount,” despite the state’s recent audit, which included a hand recount, that did not change the results of the election.
