I hope every single vote is counted in front of a camera. They have to find a way to appease the Republican crybabies. :)
my main hope is that the recount tallies no more/no less votes than originally presented!!
It won't remove suspicion that the ballots in the count shouldn't all have been there in the first place, either because they were harvested or submitted late nor will it remove suspicion that ballots were destroyed at mail centres - it should remove suspicion of (or expose) any counting computer hacking.
well, one way or another it'll hopefully resolve the situation and restore faith in the US of their electoral system.

Even if Joe Biden wins by further (very unlikely) it's the only way to restore faith in the election process. Raffensperger even said a couple of days ago there is no doubt people voted twice and some people voted even though they didn't meet the state's requirements.
He wasn't talking about the Presidential election he was referring to a primary in June when some people voted twice. Worth noting most were Republicans who were responding to Trump telling people to vote twice to test the system.

Thanks and let's hope it's all found, should be a serious penalty for knowingly defrauding the electoral process.

GA want it done by Nov. 20 which seems very optimistic to me but considering the states sign off the electoral winner in early Decemeber it makes you wonder if PA, WI, MI, AZ and NV will follow suit.

Nov 20 does look unlikely, the Republicans are happy to drag this out as long as possible. What a mess! :oops:

I know I was pissed for most of the 1990s but I'm still surprised I don't remember any of those commercials. :)

I had the exact same thought. For the 'home of the brave and the land of the free' its really quite sad. The US is such a young country and has achieved so much, it would be a shame to be humiliated by turning their back on democracy.
There will always be anomalies when 150 million vote. If there is fraud on the Democratic side, wouldn't there be equal fraud on the Republican side.

Apparently the audit was planned regardless of how close/important it is, it's not because Trump wanted it even though he would have

Brad Raffensperger has been pretty offended by his own party (ergo -trump) -i see this as a vindication excercise also

o dear:

US actor Jon Voight has posted a video saying the fight against a Joe Biden victory is the "greatest since the Civil War, the battle of righteousness versus Satan. Yes, Satan".

In Georgia, ballots where the voter ONLY voted for President:
• Trump: 818
• Biden: 95,801

Ballots where the voter voted for President and at least one other race:
• Trump: 2,456,915
• Biden: 2,376,081

Interesting stat, free of one-sided conjecture. Thank you.
