Georgia Recount Yields Few Changes in Vote Totals, Democrats Say

Source: Bloomberg

Georgia’s hand audit of ballots cast in the presidential election is proceeding rapidly with little change in the results so far, according to lawyers working for President-elect Joe Biden’s campaign.

Some 48 of the state’s 159 counties have finished their examination of the ballots with either no change or minor shifts -- differences of fewer than five votes in some instances, they said. Four counties that have finished their retallies reported having no changes.

Biden won the first count by over 14,000 votes. Election officials on Saturday started auditing almost 5 million ballots.

“More Georgians voted for President-elect Biden than voted for President Trump,” said Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic lawyer who’s aiding the campaign. “There is nothing that the recount’s going to do to change that.”

They're certainly not going to reverse a 14,000 vote difference election.

Our modern day voting and vote counting processes and technologies are very good. They're never off by much.
