Georgia secretary of state says voting machine audit is complete, no sign of foul play
BY JORDAN WILLIAMS - 11/17/20 02:40 PM
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) on Tuesday said that an audit of the state's voting machines has been completed and has found no signs of foul play.
The audit comes as Raffensperger is overseeing a hand-recount of ballots cast in the Nov. 3 elections while under pressure from a number of Republicans following President-elect Joe Biden's win in the state.
Georgia is also conducting a risk-limiting audit of paper ballots before certifying its election results.

(7,367 posts)Apparently there is no mechanism to do it. And no reason to. The state already conducted an audit. This wasnt just a recount. I think he knows this. Its just a play to make Trump stop mean-Tweeting about him. He doesnt want to be primaries in two years.

(12,423 posts)what Kemp said was the now a recount could be asked for, not that he's demanding a recount, which won't make a fucking bit of difference.
