Warnock ‘very concerned' about Georgia elections board ruling requiring hand-counting of ballots

2024-09-23

[Washington Examiner] Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) voiced his concerns about the Georgia State Election Board ruling on Friday that will require ballots in Georgia to be hand-counted by election workers the night of the election in addition to the normal machine tallies that take place.

Speaking on Inside with Jen Psaki Sunday, Warnock said he is "very concerned" about this ruling, linking it to former President Donald Trump’s efforts to "find" votes in Georgia in 202

"I’m very concerned, Jen. All of us should remember that famous phone call, a man from Florida, calling in to Georgia saying he needed 11,780 votes. He didn’t get it. And apparently, these members of the state board of elections whom he calls pit bulls are out there doing his bidding and trying to create a scenario in which they can declare by fiat who the winner of Georgia is. ... This is how voter suppression happens, undermine votes a little bit here, a little bit there," he said.

The Georgia senator then claimed that this effort from the elections board is evidence that Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats are "winning" in Georgia.

"The news that Georgia voters ought to be paying attention to is this: The fact that they’re doing this means that they know we’re winning. They know that the momentum is with Kamala Harris, and this effort to turn the democracy on its head ... it won’t stand," Warnock said.

#5 Im curious, having seen the left misquote him over and over again (bloodbath...).

What exactly was the conversation he had with the GA officials?

Fulton County alone showed well over 17K more votes cast, than the number registered voters

That's obvious evidence of fraud/misfeasance/malfeasance/dumbfeasance. It should be a perpetual headline or leading paragraph whenever election integrity is talked about, but it isn't.

#3 If I understand this correctly, "hand-counting" means that after the paper ballots are tabulated by machine, the ballots themselves are counted to make sure the number of ballots run through the tabulators matches the total number of ballots cast.

When Hillary ran for Prez and lost, the City of Detroit tried to do a recount. This effort was abandoned because, for too many precincts, the number of actual ballots did not match the written count on the boxes they were stored in.

tl;dr: they are counting sheets of paper, not the votes *on* the paper.

#2 ^ Ditto.

We here in GA know and the court records and even Videos of the Poll Worker, Mules and even Vans showing up after 12 Mid with newly "found" ballots.

Hell even Court records show Fulton County alone showed well over 17K more votes cast, than the number registered voters.
