Stacey Abrams on Georgia recount: 'I wish them well' but we know Biden won

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams on Thursday expressed certainty that Georgia’s recount of the 2020 election results will uphold that President-elect Joe Biden won the state.

During an appearance on "The View," Abrams said she doesn’t know how long the recount would take, but that she’s “absolutely certain” that Biden’s lead is “insurmountable” and “absolute.”

“I wish them well, but we know that Joe Biden is going to be, not only the president of the United States, but the first president in 30 years from the Democratic Party to carry Georgia,” Abrams said.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) announced a hand recount of the ballots cast in the state as Biden holds a slim lead over President Trump amid pressure from the GOP to take action. The audit is expected to be done by Nov. 20, when the state must certify its election results.

... Stacey is great.

This recount needs to be called, "A waste of Georgian taxpayers money" over and over. Then, name areas where that money could be spent... health care, etc... whatever things voters in Georgia want. Repeat it, over and over... "Waste of money" should be said more than "Good morning" in GA.
