As Georgia election officials on Jan. 5 announced a pause in vote counts in Chatham County, President Donald Trump stated that a big “voter dump” was being set up against GOP candidates Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue in the Senate runoffs.

Chatham County’s Board of Elections Chairman Tom Mahoney said the night of Jan. 5 that election workers at the county’s elections annex who were processing absentee ballots had been sent home for the night and would return the following morning.
