James Ibori celebrates Donald Trump’s loss in Georgia court

James Ibori

Former Delta State governor James Ibori on Thursday night appeared to celebrate the failure of US President Donald Trump and his campaign to get a Georgia court to ensure a coastal county was following state laws on processing absentee ballots.

Chatham County Superior Court Judge James Bass did not provide an explanation for his decision on Thursday at the close of a roughly one-hour hearing.

However, Mr Ibori tweeted the court’s judgement and exclaimed: “Democracy at work!”

The suit had raised concerns about 53 absentee ballots that poll observers said were not part of an original batch of ballots. County elections officials testified that all 53 ballots had been received on time.

Trump, a Republican, is seeking re-election amid fierce competition from Democrat and former Vice President Joe Biden.
