I wouldn't trust a Republican's "word" as far as I can spit. We all know they'll say one thing then the next day go in the complete opposite direction and say that what they'd said the day before "never happened"

The plan as you outline it seems right to me femmedem Nov 2020 #14

I think GA has passed above the 0.25% threshold that triggers an automatic recount, so one less prob Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2020 #17

I'm not worried about a recount, gab13by13 Nov 2020 #32

I think it is that in other states. Prob w recounts is the DELAY, their main strategy per OP Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2020 #37

PA was already sequesterring those ballots anyway. DLCWIdem Nov 2020 #93

The threshold in GA is less than or equal to 0.5%. zackymilly Nov 2020 #118

You are right. No automatic recount, but within 0.5% campaign can request a recount Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2020 #39
