Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “A recount in Georgia’s presidential race found more than 2,600 ballots in Floyd County that hadn’t originally been tallied, likely helping President Donald Trump reduce his 14,000-vote deficit to Joe Biden. Trump could gain about 800 net votes from the newly discovered ballots, said Luke Martin, chairman of the Floyd County Republican Party. The problem occurred because county election officials didn’t upload votes from a memory card in a ballot scanning machine, according to the secretary of state’s office.”
“The previously uncounted votes were cast during in-person early voting at the Floyd County Administration Building, which includes the county’s elections office, Martin said. Over half of 5,000 printed-out ballots cast on an optical scanner weren’t initially recorded. ‘It’s very concerning,’ Martin said. ‘But this doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue. I’m glad the audit revealed it, and it’s important that all votes are counted.’ The uncounted ballots in Floyd County is the most significant issue found so far during Georgia’s recount. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has said that other counties’ recounted figures closely match their original numbers.”
