“There will be a recount” – Georgia Secretary of State

by The Right Scoop

Georgia’s Secretary of State just announced that there will be a recount in Georgia:

Georgia’s Secretary of State Raffensperger says that out of about 5 million votes cast, the end result will be a margin of only a few thousand.

He says the next step is to do a recount, to ensure that all legal votes are counted.

I’m not sure if Raffensperger addressed it, but I read this morning that there are still thousands of military absentee ballots that have yet to be counted:

There were 8,899 absentee ballots from military and overseas voters that hadn’t yet been returned to election offices in Georgia as of Thursday morning, according to the secretary of state’s office. Another 17,529 overseas ballots had already been returned and counted.

Military and overseas ballots have a later deadline than other absentee ballots, according to federal law.

While Georgia’s deadline for domestic absentee ballots is 7 p.m. on Election Day, overseas absentee ballots will be counted if they’re postmarked by Tuesday and received at county election offices by Friday.

In addition, voters have until Friday to correct problems with provisional and absentee ballots.

I would expect those to swing hard Trump’s way and should put him over the top, especially with a recount.
