Republican David Perdue has made election fraud the centerpiece of his run for Georgia governor. But if he hopes to win in this year’s midterm elections, his supporters will have to use the same democratic system he says they shouldn’t trust.

The only way to win a rigged election, he says, is to turn out in such high numbers that the Democrats can’t get away with cheating.

“If we get out the vote, if everybody votes, we will win,” Perdue told his audience at a campaign speech last month.
