Things are coming to a head for President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign and the attorneys who represent it.

Georgia State Legislators are set to introduce a petition that will call for a special session to review the results of the 2020 election on December 8, The Post Millennial reported.

The petition would need to be signed by three fifths of the members of the House and then presented to the Secretary of State.

State Senator Burt Jones said "we believe we have reached the point that the results of this election are untrustworthy.

“Such pervasive disregard for election laws by our election officials requires a decisive response. It is time for our legislative body to do its job," he said.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Sunday warned that a special session of the Legislature that would change the state’s election results “would be then nullifying the will of the people.”

“That's something that's beyond my office's calling,” he said when he appeared on ABC’s "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." “That's with the governor and the General Assembly, and I'm sure they'll have conversations.”

Raffensperger insisted that his office has not “found systemic fraud, not enough to overturn the election.”

“We have over 250 cases right now … [but] we don't see anything that would overturn the will of the people here in Georgia.”

Georgia Republican, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who spoke on CNN on Sunday, also insisted that no help for President Trump would be coming from Georgia.

"Calling the General Assembly back in at this point would almost be along the lines of a solution trying to find a problem," he said. "And we're certainly not going to move the goalposts at this point in the election. We are going to continue to follow the letter of the law, which gives us a very clear-cut direction as to how to execute an election."

But he does not get to make the decision. That decision will be made by the state legislature.

Raffensperger said that in spite of Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler calling for his resignation he still intends to vote for them in the January Senatorial election.

“I'm a Republican. I vote for Republicans. So I wish them well,” he said. “The job of the Republican Party is to raise money and turn out the vote. My job as secretary of State is to make sure we have honest and fair elections. It's as simple as that, and I think in my office integrity matters.”
