Tensions are running high among conservatives right now because of a growing rift centering on the pivotal, upcoming Senate race in Georgia.
If President Donald Trump fails in his challenges of the 2020 presidential election, and Republicans lose the Senate race in Georgia, then Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden will be elected president with full, unequivocal power.
And so it’s of extreme importance to conservatives, including the president himself, that Georgia Republicans vote for incumbent Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
Case in point:
I strongly stand with Kelly & David. They are both great and MUST WIN! https://t.co/eqr95Lc2aC
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 16, 2020
Yet two of the attorneys ostensibly fighting on the president’s behalf, Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, have been urging Georgia Republicans to boycott the election.
During a joint press conference Wednesday, Powell said, “There should not be a runoff. I think I would encourage 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.”
Wood added, “Where’s Kelly Loeffler? Where’s David Perdue? They outta be standing right here. They have not earned your vote. Don’t you give it to them. Why would you go back and vote in another rigged election, for god’s sake! Fix it! You gotta fix it!”
“There should not be a runoff,” says Sidney Powell. “I think I would encourage all Georgians to make it known that you will not vote at all until your vote is secure.”

Wood, who lives in Georgia, has vowed to personally “boycott” the election.
Look:
If @GOP & @GOPChairwoman do not take immediate action to expose fraud & correct 11/3 election, Republican Party will cease to be viable.
Supporters of @realDonaldTrump will abandon GOP & you can kiss goodbye the Senate runoff in GA.
Start fighting for Trump NOW or adios GOP.

Let’s speak truth about @SenLoeffler & @sendavidperdue.
Why are they doing little or nothing to support efforts by GA citizens to address unlawful election & need for @BrianKempGA to order special session of legislature?
If not fixed, I will NOT vote in GA runoff.
Will you?

To be fair, he’s always coated his threat of a boycott with stipulations that, if followed, would be enough to convince him to go ahead and vote.
The problem is that one, the president himself — whom Wood is supposed to represent — hasn’t called for a boycott or issued any stipulations.
And two, a widespread boycott of the Georgia race could lead to Perdue and Loeffler losing, a fate that could engender devastating consequences for all Americans:
- The implementation of the Green New Deal.
- The national adoption of California’s catastrophic AB5 bill.
- The packing of the Supreme Court.
- The elimination of the filibuster.
- The passing of Medicare-for-All.
- The mandating of transgender bathrooms/locker rooms.
- The expansion of censorship.
- Etc.
And so because of all that’s at stake, Wood and Powell have now become targets of some conservatives, including even the “right-wing” folks at Breitbart.
On Wednesday the conservative publisher ran a stunning report accusing Wood of being a long-time Democrat voter who not only voted for former President Barack Obama but then went on to vote for Perdue’s challenger in the 2014 midterms.
“Georgia records show that Wood has voted in every general election dating back to 2000, in person in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014 — and then via absentee or mail ballot in 2016, 2018, and 2020,” Breitbart reported.
“State records also show that Wood has not voted in a Republican primary since 2004, but did request Democrat ballots in the 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2018 primary elections in Georgia. That means that even when Trump was president, in the 2018 midterm elections, Wood requested a Democrat primary ballot in Georgia.”
The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office says that despite his denials, Lin Wood has a Democrat voting record, including voting in the 2018 Stacey Abrams Democratic Primary in Georgia.

This document purports to be Lin Wood’s voting record. He denies it, but today the Georgia Secretary of State’s office said this is his voting record. pic.twitter.com/Nn6yZQM34m

New: I’ve confirmed attorney Lin Wood has not voted in a Republican primary in 16 years @cbs46

Some conservatives have also pointed out that Democrats en masse have been extolling Wood and urging Republicans to listen to his supposed wisdom.
Examples below:
Lin Wood is right: If you still believe Georgia’s election was rigged (🙄), you definitely shouldn’t vote for Loeffler & Perdue next month! #UnitedForGeorgia https://t.co/nBmdVCS70t

I never thought I would encourage people to listen to Lin Wood, but 2020 😏 #MAGAIsOver https://t.co/5MHH4AB0A2

Brilliant strategy! Republicans, “Listen up! #LinWood is right. You shouldn’t agree to vote on those Hugo Chavez voting machines.” https://t.co/K4aZW92JBw

They should totally listen to Trump lawyer Lin Wood #justsayin https://t.co/tezDKNerPX

All of the folks seen above are far-left personalities who’d love to see the agenda of the Democrats’ most radical members — think AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar — be implemented, yet here they are praising Wood.
None of this is to suggest that the legendary attorneys — both Wood and Powell — aren’t staunch supporters of the president. It does however seem to raise concerns about their judgment calls, especially at a time when America’s future hangs on a precipice.
Responding to Breitbart’s reporting late Wednesday, Wood fired off a set of tweets accusing the publisher of being “dishonest” and arguing that voting in the Georgia race is pointless right now because “the runoff election will be rigged too.”
Look:
The problem is that the runoff election will be rigged too. Same machines, same absentee ballots, same fraud.
Fix the fraud. Then exercise your vote in an election which has integrity.#FightBack for Honest Election https://t.co/ss09Vlsb9S
— Lin Wood (@LLinWood) December 3, 2020
I want @KLoeffler & @sendavidperdue to demand that @BrianKempGA order special session of GA legislature to fix fraud in 11/3 election. Vote Electors for @realDonaldTrump & order new HONEST down ballot election in 1/21. Why are Kelly & David NOT making same demands???
— Lin Wood (@LLinWood) December 3, 2020
Oh no!!! I thought Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43, & Herman Cain were Republicans!
Did they all lie to me or is @BreitbartNews lying to you?
You choose. Choose wisely. https://t.co/7P1KzgsGmH

1. Breitbart is dishonest. Historically, I am nonpartisan. This year, I was partisan because I love @realDonaldTrump.
I donated $375K to Trump PAC. @sendavidperdue solicited a $25K donation & I gave it to him. I gave $5,600 to @RepDougCollins & hosted a fundraiser for him. https://t.co/CuhZoI6V7K
