Trump Campaign, Georgia GOP Cry Foul As State Begins 'Fake Recount' With Not Enough Monitors
[AMGREATNESS] The statewide recount of ballots cast in Georgia in the 2020 election began in earnest Friday morning, and the Trump Campaign and Georgia GOP are already crying foul due to the nontransparent process.When Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger announced that there would be a hand recount in Georgia, he indicated that a full audit would take place "to ensure that every legal vote is counted, and that any voter fraud is identified."

Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Patriots said in a statement Friday that the actual process his office was directing "falls far short of that goal."

She complained on Twitter that the state was not allowing enough monitors to observe the process, slamming it as "a fake recount."

"As it stands now, neither campaign will be satisfied with the current process," Martin said. "More importantly, Georgia voters will not have confidence in our electoral process without a transparent, open process that is done right and counts every legal vote."

"Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is doing a tremendous disservice to the people of Georgia by conducting what can only be described as a ’fraudit’ which fails to provide a complete examination of the election system, the voter rolls, and the eligibility of those who voted," said Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning in a statement today.

#1 You have the state houses, and the Gov - so DO SOMETHING about it! Emergency session. The US Constitution explicity empowered the State Lgislations to set the standards. If nothing else, meet NOW so as to prevent a repeat of this mess in December-January for the runoff in both senate seats.

#2 Specifics? Well, here's one.

An election observer shared a short video of the proceedings in Cobb County, where poll watchers were being kept far away from the counting.


I used to live in Cobb County; it's Fulton County I am more worried about.

#3 So, how do you keep poll watchers away from the counting? So many things just don't add up.

#4 I'd move to GA to vote, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be welcome....

#6 Ref #4: Your record speaks for itself Bill. You may be just the type of citizen we are looking for. Rural properties in the Northern counties are readily available as are vets and reasonably priced farriers and feed stores. Veteran discounts are available.
