With Georgia in the midst of a manual recount of votes cast in the Nov. 3 presidential election, pro-Trump supporters rallied outside the Georgia governor's mansion in Atlanta on Wednesday.
Holding U.S. and Trump flags and banners, the largely maskless crowd chanted "stop the steal!" as president-elect Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by some 14,000 votes.
Far-right conspiracy theorist and InfoWars head Alex Jones also attended the protest where he spoke to the crowd, demanding that the state legislature hold an "emergency session" to "take control of oversight as massive fraud is found all over."
While staying out of the public eye, Trump has persisted in venting his anger on Twitter, where he made claims of election fraud, some of which were unsupported by evidence while others are demonstrably untrue.
Trump has refused to concede to Biden and claims without evidence that he was cheated by widespread election fraud. State election officials report no serious irregularities, and several of his legal challenges have failed in court.
The Republican president is clinging to hope that a manual recount ordered by the state of Georgia can erase Biden's lead there and is also challenging results in the swing state of Michigan.
States face a Dec. 8 deadline to certify election results in time for the official Electoral College vote on Dec. 14.
