Trump Calls Georgia Runoffs 'Invalid' As Polls Tighten, 3 Million Vote Early

With a record number of voters already having cast their ballots early in Georgia, President Donald Trump has attacked the Senate runoff election process in the Peach State, calling it "illegal and invalid."

Trump is scheduled to appear at a rally in Dalton on Monday to lend his support to GOP candidates Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Sen. David Perdue who are taking on Democratic challengers Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, respectively.

Tuesday's runoff will determine the U.S. Senate's balance of power and both parties are spending hundreds of millions of dollars and deploying heavy hitters to sway voters.

But on Friday night, Trump questioned the legitimacy of the Georgia votes and criticized the bipartisan decree agreed in March that established standards for judging valid signatures on absentee ballots.
