VALDOSTA, Ga. (WCTV) - Georgia will begin its audit of the presidential race Friday morning at 9 a.m. and it must be finished by next Wednesday, November 18, at midnight.
Local elections offices in all 159 counties connected for training on Thursday, which included detailed instructions on how to recount all of the ballots by hand.
Hand-counting ballots may seem self-explanatory, but election officials in Lowndes County say the process involved is all new.
Lowndes County Elections Supervisor Deb Cox is gearing her team up for, what the state is calling, an audit, recount and recanvas all in one.
“They’re excited to do something new. They’re excited to be part of the state-wide process to verify that Georgia’s on the top of the heat for security and voter accuracy,” Cox said.
But after the state took some heat from the Trump campaign earlier this week, the president’s recount group leader, Doug Collins, insisted Tuesday it all be done by hand.
“This is a victory for integrity," Collins said. "This is a victory for transparency, from our campaign’s perspective. The Secretary of State has agreed to the hand recount, and now the people of Georgia can see the transparency of an election here in Georgia.”
“Let me be perfectly clear on this, if it was 14,000 votes the other way, we would be doing the exact same thing," Gabriel Sterling with the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office said on Thursday.

I volunteered to head out there to help the campaign. Sounds like it’s going to be a long week.
The Secretary of State Raffensperger made the change in a settlement with democrats in March 2020. In essence, he agreed to change the law, circumventing the GA legislature.
So basically, the same thing PA did according to L Lin Wood.
It was supposed to be an audit but according to the corrupt SOS
@GaSecofState “According to law Georgia passed in 2019— Georgia is required have a state-wide hand Risk Limiting Audit (RLA), trigging a recount.
We are committed to counting every legal ballot. Georgia voters deserves accurate, secure results. We stand by our numbers.“

So they are already going to make sure the recount comes to what they said it was. Why else say, “we stand by our numbers”. This is bullshit.
He has said that every day since last Wednesday. He has also said there was no fraud all week, then walked it back to “no widespread fraud”, but I know for a fact people, even some on FR, who have called the SOS because someone else voted in their name and it was a real hassle to get it straightened out.
Plus, how many people even go to the trouble to check that their absentee ballot wasn’t discarded. It’s a real mess.
As an aside, my elderly FIL voted absentee due to dementia and other issues, and he is 80% blind and his signatures never match because he is trying to see when he is writing. I spoke to our county election supervisor and said I would bring him in to show his drivers license. I’m guessing his ballot will get challenged during this count because he voted Trump.
Just a coverup for the RiNO fraud.
The SOS is covering up his corruption.
Doesn’t sound like they are checking to see if signatures match or addresses are correct so your father has nothing to worry about. This is a freaking disaster.
They were sued by the Democrat party. Georgia, due to its history, is under strict scrutiny of Federal judges for “voter suppression.”
If that's true, and if SCOTUS follows the Constitution, all those votes will be tossed.
If . . .
Here is the settlement agreement:

Yeah, I even told the election supervisor that we were fine with him filling out the absentee ballot in front of him, but he said it was not necessary. Crowds freak him out and those machines, omg, he can’t even figure out how to work his phone which has four buttons.
Now think about all the illegal ballots cast like that from people not honest like you. It’s way more than enough to the flip the election and none of that will be picked up in this recount sham.
He is the same guy who mailed absentee ballots to all voters during the primary.
He also refuses to address the burst pipe fraud in Fulton county even the Australian media reported the blatant cheating that happened there.
There is something deeply suspicious about him.
Is he paid of by the likea of Sorus,Bloomberg etc.
I know.
By far, to me, the two biggest challenges in this is the middle of the night “counting“ that happened illegally after GOP were sent home. And the same lawsuit that Trump just won in PA applies to GA because our SOS did the same thing, did an end run around GA legislature.
I bet GA will end up before the Supreme Court.
We are the only state in the country that had these machines in every county. There were several lawsuits against him in the months leading up to the election about the fact that the machines weren’t secure.
Yep and don’t forget the fake water pipe break in Atlanta where they sent everyone home telling them they sent Republicans home telling them they would resume counting in the morning. Instead, the demonrats kept counting and all of a sudden biden took the lead.
Someone on FR posted that there were not even any work orders for Fulton County for any water breaks.
Here was the GA GOP chairman’s statement on this:
Let me repeat. Fulton County elections officials told the media and our observers that they were shutting down the tabulation center at State Farm Arena at 10:30 p.m. on election night only to continue counting ballots in secret until 1:00 a.m.
No one disputes that Fulton County elections officials falsely announced that the counting of ballots would stop at 10:30 p.m. No one disputes that Fulton County elected officials unlawfully resumed the counting of ballots after our observers left the center.

Where’s Newt?? Isn’t he from GA? Can’t he oversee the coordination of this mess?
I know he’s a history teacher, and not an attorney, but maybe he can oversee some organization inside of this vital effort.
We need all hands on deck and high profile folks, experienced in levels of Govt
