Powell and Wood have made wild accusations about voter fraud and filed lawsuits in recent weeks challenging election results after Trump’s projected defeat.
Powell, whom the Trump campaign distanced itself from after making baseless claims of widespread voter fraud, reportedly encouraged “all Georgians to make it known that you will not vote at all until your vote is secure — and I mean that regardless of party.”

In his pitch to voters, Wood reportedly said “This is Georgia. We ain’t dumb. We’re not going to go vote on Jan. 5 on another machine made by China.”
The comment appeared to refer to Dominion Voting Systems, which has been the subject of baseless claims alleging that it has ties to countries such as Venezuela and China, and to the families of prominent Democrats amid Trump’s projected defeat. The company has disputed the claims.
Wood also said that Perdue and Loeffler have not “earned” votes, and asked “Why would you go back and vote in another rigged election, for God's sake? Fix it! You gotta fix it!”
The remarks come as Trump is preparing to travel to Georgia to campaign for Loeffler and Perdue ahead of the state’s crucial runoff elections. The winners of the races will determine which party controls the upper chamber.
