WASHINGTON — Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) released the following statement after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee opened an investigation into alleged voting issues within the state of Georgia:

“Chairman Cummings’ request makes one thing clear: Democrats are bringing out their full arsenal of weapons to re-litigate November’s election in preparation for an upcoming election. Elections within the state of Georgia are just that – an issue to be addressed by state and local officials within our state. The fact that a U.S. congressional committee is inserting themselves into a statewide issue squarely outside of their jurisdiction exposes their purely political objectives.

“Democrats alleging voter suppression after an election results in an unfavorable outcome is becoming a growing trend. They questioned the outcome of the 2016 presidential election after their candidate lost, and now they’re still re-litigating the 2018 gubernatorial race. It’s past time they accept the decisions of the American people and move on.”
