The Trump campaign said in a statement its new lawsuit would include sworn statements from Georgia residents alleging fraud. Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, like Trump, and other state officials have said repeatedly they have found no evidence of widespread fraud in the November 3 election won by Democrat Joe Biden. President-elect Biden won the election with 306 Electoral College votes - against the 270 required - to Trump's 232. Trump's campaign has spent nearly $9 million on its unsuccessful bid to overturn the results of the election, including nearly $2.3 million to lawyers and consultants. The campaign and the Republican National Committee have raised at least $207.5 million since Election Day, much of it from solicitations asking for donations to an "Official Election Defense Fund."
