This was the final step after the Sec of State certified and it is now done!

[soothsayer]

1. Hallelujah! Huzzah! Woof woof!

[BComplex]

2. Charge them a fortune for a recount!!!

Georgia is going to need the money!

[Cha]

9. They should but i read Georgia

would do a "recount" for free.

We're gonna see.

[Mr.Bill]

12. I don't get it.

Didn't they just have a recount?

[klook]

14. Georgia taxpayers would have to pay for a mechanical recount.

Trump has two business days to request one, per the AJC. I fully expect him to do so, since it prolongs his stupid charade and costs him no money. We’ll see.

3. He did it grudgingly enough. Suck it up buttercup!

[Alex4Martinez]

4. SENATE NEXT, Georgia!

I'm sending $100 to each Dem candidate.

[Hortensis]

5. Step by step. Kemp's glad of an excuse to be rid of Trump. Eventually. nt

[question everything]

6. Meanwhile, Kimberley Strassel, the most rabid columnist of the WSJ says in an op-ed

Have not read, just the highlighted sentence:

Republicans shouldn’t take the Jan. 5 runoffs, or their majority in the Senate, for granted.

[Bleacher Creature]

7. Na na na na, na na na na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye!

[Cha]

8. That's nice of Kemp to sign on

to PE Biden being certified in Georgia!

TY, NewsCenter

21. You are most welcome, my dear Cha!

It was, indeed, a pleasure to share such wonderful news with the board. Today was one of the best days since the networks called the race with the coup attempt failing all over the place. Have a lovely evening out there in Hawaii!

[Cha]

22. Mahalo, NC.. you have a great evening

wherever you are!

I'll leave this Kemp tweet that aged poorly..

10. Kemp is a dirty tool.

Couldn't just announce the certification - has to also promote the Clown's phony legal efforts.

He is undermining Democracy too.


Wake up Georgians!

[crickets]

11. Oh, we know. Undermining democracy is how he got his job. 😒

[Cha]

23. Yeah, but he still has to EAT CROW..

13. "Paves the way for other legal actions...and a separate recount" WTF???

[klook]

15. See post #14.

It’ll be a meaningless exercise, but so has the rest of their post-election posturing.

[bringthePaine]

16. thank you Governor Abrams🎉

[Tarc]

17. Didn't they just do a recount?

How can another one be asked for?

[SMC22307]

19. They did a hand recount, a "risk-limiting audit."

It's very confusing, trying to keep all these damn states straight!

Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the hand audit last week, citing the close margin of the race.

The four counties with new vote totals must recertify their results. Statewide election results must be certified by Friday. The Trump campaign then has until Tuesday to request an additional recount, which would be by machine rather than by hand.

24. Crazy stuff

[SheltieLover]

18. Yaaaaaay!

Tyvm!

20. This must make it WAY harder to launch a lawsuit and have a court agree to hear it.

Not to mention WIN it. Great, great news!
