Asked if the current Biden lead will hold, Sec. Raffensperger said, "we believe the ballots were counted accurately and the Risk Limiting Audit will confirm that."
They all KNOW the truth. Just have to get them all to publicly accept it!

(2,882 posts)They are calling it an audit because GA doesn't require automatic recounts. Trump could ask for a recount, but he isn't entitled to a hand recount.
So SOS ordered a so-called audit, which will consist of GA recounting all ballots by hand.

Hand recounts take a long time.

(53,342 posts)would have required more work to identify the necessary number of random ballots in each county. It was easier and probably quicker to just recount the whole shootin' match
but it's not necessary. the outcome isn't going to change w/a greater than 14k lead!
Carville did call it right before the elections (PA, MI, WI, NV, AZ and GA).

(10,132 posts)Moscow Mitch doesn't care that Trump lost as long as he still controls the Senate. If he can discourage Georgia voters from showing up in the January run-off there's a good chance he'll hold on to those two seats. If he loses both of them he loses the Senate; if he loses one he has a 1 vote majority which gives him the Senate but with a razor-thin margin. So he's having GOP minions sow doubt about the Georgia election process and give voters the feeling that turning out is futile.
