COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Channel 2 Action News has learned that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has finished the signature audit in Cobb County over the November election.
Earlier in the month, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said his office had investigated credible allegations that Cobb County improperly performed signature matches during the June primary, so he ordered a signature audit for the November election in that county.
Channel 2 investigative reporter Justin Gray spoke with Raffensperger late Tuesday afternoon, who said there were only two mismatched signatures among the more than 15,000 votes in the audit.
The audit was a first of its kind in Georgia.
President-elect Joe Biden won Georgia by roughly 12,000 votes.
Following President Donald Trump’s November loss, top Republican leaders, including the president, made calls for the same type of audit.
Georgia county elections offices had already undergone a hand recount audit, and a machine recount at the president’s request before dozens of lawsuits with unsubstantiated fraud claims were thrown out of courts across the country.
A claim about Cobb County signature match surfaced in one of the lawsuits. So Raffensperger ordered the audit to clear the air over claims of voter fraud and misinformation.
The limited signature audit required teams of GBI agents and state election investigators to examine about 15,000 absentee envelope signatures, which were separated from the actual ballot when they were processed. That ensures a secret ballot, a right that’s cemented in the state constitution. Signatures were matched twice during the ballot count process.
The signatures were then compared to public state records, including driving services forms.
awww this is such horseshit....Cobb County was NEVER part of the problem here in GA...it was Fulton and Dekalb Counties that had so many allegations of fraud. WE knew from the moment Kemp announced this signature audit and which County it was going to be held in that he was going to say "see America we don't have any problems here in GA"...such a scam.....why not audit the Counties where so many discrepancies' happened Mr Kemp????....Crooked Governor!!! Don't pay attention to these findings America...it was all a ploy to take your attention away from our corruption here in Georgia.
