Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp rejected a call from President Donald Trump to call a special session of the Georgia State Legislature, according to Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan.

Duncan said that Kemp, a Republican, “is not going to call us into a special session ... We’re certainly not going to move the goal posts at this point in the election. We are going to continue to follow the letter of the law,” according to his interview with CNN on Sunday.
