Gabriel Sterling, a Georgia election official, has stated
that President Donald Trump will be held accountable for any violence relating
to the United States election.
Sterling is the state’s Voting Systems Implementation
Manager.
At a news conference in Atlanta on Tuesday, he condemned the
President’s claim that widespread irregularities were perpetrated during the
November 3 poll which Joe Biden won.
Sterling warned that the American leader’s attitude will get
someone “killed”.
The Republican said a 20-year-old contractor in Gwinnett
County for Dominion Voting Systems and his family had received death threats.
Sterling disclosed that he himself has a police guard
outside his home.
He added that the wife of Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brad
Raffensperger, was “getting sexualised threats through her cell phone”.
“Mr President, you have not condemned these actions or this
language. Senators, you have not condemned these actions or this language. We
need you to step up and if you’re going to take a position of leadership, show
some!
“Death threats, physical threats, intimidation, it’s too
much, it’s not right, they’ve lost the moral high ground to claim that it is.
You have the right to go to the courts.
“What you don’t have the ability to do, and you need to step
up and say this, is stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence.
Someone’s going to get hurt, someone’s going to get shot, someone’s going to
get killed, and it’s not right.
“Be the bigger man here, and stop, step in, tell your
supporters, don’t be violent, don’t intimidate. All that’s wrong, it’s
un-American. It’s all gone too far! All of it! It has to stop!”, Sterling
fumed.
Tim Murtaugh, Trump campaign spokesman, said the President’s
camp wants to ensure all legal votes are counted and all illegal votes are not.
“No-one should engage in threats or violence, and if that
has happened, we condemn that fully”, Murtaugh said.
Georgia is conducting a second recount of votes due to Trump
campaign’s request.
Biden, a former Vice President, was declared winner of the
first count.
Aside Georgia, Trump is challenging the results in Arizona,
Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
