************************** UPDATED*****************************
Pedes starting this morning Counties across the State of Georgia will begin the Election Audit & Recount Process and we need observers to be present!
While it is being left up to the individual Counties to decide the actual date these recounts start, ALL Counties across the State will be starting over the course of next few days, and they are ALL open to the public for observation.
Because these are open public events, the individual county MUST provide fair notice of WHEN and WHERE these recounts are being held on the website for the specific County. So Check with the website of the County you are interested in Observing to find out when these events are being held.
You can & should also call your local County election board to find this same information!
FELLOW GA PEDES, GET OUT AND OBSERVE!!!
From what I understand there's:
Recounting - They count all the paper ballots by hand. This would find fraud of the type alleged by the Dominion whistleblower, where they scanned the same ballots multiple times.
Auditing - They check all the ballots for deficiencies and signs of fraud. This would find fraud of the type alleged by other whistleblowers like identical signatures over multiple ballots, lack of necessary information on some ballots etc.
Recanvassing - They check if the vote totals transmitted from a polling station to the State Board of Elections is correct. So SBE has a certain number of votes from a certain polling place and they check if the polling place has the same number of votes. This would eliminate any errors in transmission, however I'm unaware of any fraud allegations, that could be found that way.
Who conducts audit and recanvass? Basically are we asking the cheaters to check their work?
Great question. I'm guessing it's the same people doing the counting, however one would suspect the AG has the power to put his own team in place... or at least this time around observers will be allowed to oversee the entire process.
For the Dominion issues that wouldn't necessarily be true: a red county could use the machines without having any idea they were compromised.
