There's no strategy here because GA goes auto-recount if the opponents are close enough, this is normal
It felt like it took 5 centuries just for the mail-in ballots to be counted. And now they have to hand count ALL of them by next Friday? How is that going to be possible?
I believe the reason why the last ballots take so long is that they're the ones that are questionable/need to be cured, etc and take actual scrutiny by humans instead of just going into the machine. Once it's resolved it'll be processed as fast as a normal ballot the next time through. Also what I saw is a "selected" hand recount so they'll just do a sample and double check while the full machine recount goes through.
Ah, fantastic then. Thanks for the info.
My poll worker friend always said that having to count ballots by hand was her worst nightmare come true, lol. Can't help wondering if she's among those involved with this year's election. (We haven't spoken in several months.)
No it does not.
No it does not.
.Election Recount Rules in Georgia
State law does not require an automatic recount of votes. However, a candidate can request a recount if the difference between the number of votes is not more than 1%. That request has to be made within two business days of the results being certified. Other common situations where a recount may...georgia.gov
Other states due but Georgia is not one of them.
Georgia law doesn't require a recount if the final results are 0.5% or under. It can be requested if it's that close.It is auto-recount, unless I misunderstand your meaning.
Why would you even say something this insensitive?
It's actually not clear (maybe the SoS will clear it up) that they intend to hand count 100% of the ballots. What they determined was that collecting a sample of ballots was going to be a waste of time/effort but since the goal here is to audit the ballot counting system unless major discrepancies are discovered early on there may be a threshold where the SoS feels satisfied that a large enough number of ballots were checked to end the audit.
The way it works is the ballot can't be tossed unless reps from both review it and they can't just get tossed arbitrarily.
Sorry that did come across as insensitive. I am proud for everyone that voted and I happy to see the state flip. I'm just annoyed with Trumps shit. So it was more of a go ahead ass hole your still leaving in Jan.
Yes, because there'd be nothing suspicious about there being significantly less ballots than the first count. I can't wait for all this election stuff to be over and for all the doomposting and pessimism to be done with
An audit reversing the count would be devastating.
Or throw some in....this is not gonna be pretty. Hopefully they keep the cameras and observers rolling!
Thanks.
