From the Press Release:
- First, there must be a full comparison of absentee ballots cast and in-person and provisional ballots cast throughout the state.
- Second, there must be a check for felons and other ineligible persons who may have cast a ballot.
- Third, and most importantly, the Secretary of State should announce a full hand-count of every ballot cast in each and every county due to widespread allegations of voter irregularities, issues with voting machines, and poll watcher access. We can – and we will – petition for this in court after statewide certification is completed if the Secretary of State fails to act, but we are hopeful he will preemptively take this action today to ensure every Georgian has confidence in our electoral process.
What is at stake? 16 Electoral College votes.
“This will help build confidence,” Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said. “It will be an audit, a recount and a recanvas all at once.”
