Barr says ‘no reason’ to seize voting machines as he pushes back on Trump conspiracy theories

“Let me just say that there are fraud in, unfortunately in most elections, I think we’re too tolerant of it and I’m sure there was fraud in this election,” Mr Barr said.

“But I was commenting on the extent to which we had looked at suggestions or allegations of systemic or broad-based fraud that would affect the outcome of the election and I already spoke to that and I stand by that statement.”

Make no mistake: President Trump continually telling Georgians that their votes were manipulated or tossed to benefit President-elect Joe Biden could potentially make the difference between a Republican-controlled Senate and a Democratic-controlled Senate. Attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, whose calls for boycotting Georgia next month over alleged voter fraud have resulted in heavy blowback from the Republican old and current guard, are also throwing kerosene on the fire. Polls show a razor-thin advantage for Democrat Raphael Warnock over Kelly Loeffler, while Jon Ossoff and Sonny Perdue are deadlocked, respectively. If just enough Republican voters stay home, it will be easy to discern why that occurred.
