6. There's a reason a canvass is required

I've worked the canvass in Pennsylvania several times now. The results released election night are unofficial. A few days after the election, volunteers complete a canvass. As a D, I sit across from an R and we go through each precinct, making sure the number of voters matches the number of ballots cast. We remake any ballot that wasn't counted by the machine, count provisional ballots determined to be legally cast etc.

After we finish, the county runs tests with ballots from random precincts, doing hand counts to make sure the counters are working correctly.

Georgia isn't ensuring the accuracy of an election. They're trying to throw the election to Trump.
