Georgia Recount

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the preliminary results of a manual recount of 5 million ballot in the Peach State is likely to leave Joe Biden the winner in the state:

A manual recount of 5 million ballots cast in Georgia showed Thursday that Joe Biden won the presidential election, validating initial results.

The recount found that Biden received 12,284 more votes than President Donald Trump.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger plans to certify the election by Friday, a deadline set by state law to finalize results.

The hand recount, which also functioned as an audit of the election, mostly aligned with initial machine counts. It also uncovered almost 6,000 ballots in four counties that had been overlooked in the initial tally, resulting in Trump closing his deficit to Biden by 1,400 votes.

Both counts found the same outcome: Thousands more voters in Georgia chose Biden than Trump.

Barring something dramatic in Pennsylvania or Michigan, it’s over. Trump should concede and put us all out of our misery.

    The “perfect juror” shouldn’t say things like that before the case is made. There is an uproar that Powell didn’t lay out the case in the press conference. Only a fool would do that. And she’s no fool.

    That there was fraud is indisputable. The issues are how much, is it enough, and can it be proven. For something of this magnitude people should be willing to take a bit more misery. After all, we have been putting up with baseless anti-Trump BS for 4 years.

    They open the mail-ins, throw away the envelope and tally the vote.
    No matter how many times you recount them, there’s now no way to certify them as valid. What you’re actually doing is trusting that no entity would manufacture mail-ins.
    How realistic is that, given the stakes.
