As I’ve noted before, I’m generally one of those people who view election night results I’m unhappy with from an “okay, so and so won, I’m gonna grumble about it for a bit and then get to work countering their agenda” perspective. My first thought is usually not to allege the election was not “STOLEN!” It’s “what can our party do better so that we can get the results we want next time around?”
But when things look fishy and smell stinky, they definitely deserve a calling out, and some of the things going on in the state of Georgia right now deserve a lot more sunlight than they’re getting from the national media.
My RedState colleague Brandon Morse reported earlier about how Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced today that some counties in the state somehow forgot to click the “upload” button when submitting updated vote totals for their respective areas. Not surprisingly, the counties were blue counties.
What should also be sounding off alarm bells for all Georgia voters as well as the Republican party and the Trump campaign is that the number of votes “left to count” in Georgia conveniently keeps rising. Normally when votes are counted, the numbers left to count should be decreasing. Instead, they are going up in Georgia.
Check out what WSB-TV tweeted this morning:
NEW: Georgia Secretary of State just said LIVE on Channel 2 that there are now under 25,000 ballots left to be counted and should be done by noon today.
As of 6:20 a.m.,18,540 votes separate Trump and Biden according to SOS website: https://t.co/ol9E9A8XEh pic.twitter.com/jWwEB39wjG

But then:
UPDATE: The Secretary of State's Office says there are actually 50,000-60,000 uncounted ballots remaining as of 8:30 a.m., more than initially thought early this morning: https://t.co/27Al5xzlvc

And later:
Latest update from @GaSecofState is 61,000 outstanding ballots. Here’s a breakdown by county pic.twitter.com/0kEDIr6c9V

I’m sorry, but this just doesn’t make sense. Why are the numbers rising when they should be decreasing? I’m with this guy:
Am I the only one who finds it somewhat odd that the number of votes remaining to count has been steadily rising all morning? Does the Sec of State need a math lesson, are the county offices incompetent or is something strange going on? Help me here. Please.

On top of that there are the provisional ballots and military ballots that need to be counted, the numbers of which we don’t have:
Important to note that Georgia’s outstanding vote totals do not include provisional ballots or military ballots – it’s unclear how many of those there are. Those need to be in/resolved by Friday and ballots needing “cured” also have Friday deadline.

Georgia’s got a big transparency issue going on right now on a number of fronts, and Raffensperger is coming off as a front guy for what at the very least looks like gross incompetence on the part of the election officials at the county level in Georgia.
As is the case with what the state board of elections is doing here in NC with outstanding absentee ballots that are not yet accounted for, the “forgetting” to upload vote totals and the “finding” of extra votes to count that just so happen to be in blue areas of Georgia inspires zero confidence in the process and only causes more people to question whether or not the election result numbers are genuine or have been massaged in some way to help put Joe Biden over the top.
The margin between Trump and Biden in the state right now is razor-thin, and the next state “called” for Biden could put him near or over 270. Trump should be having lawyers blanketing the state like a blizzard in the wintertime. This stinks to high heaven.
3:52 p.m.
Channel 2’s Justin Gray has learned that 8,899 military and overseas ballots in Georgia that have been requested are still not in. They are not required to be in until Friday.
2:45 p.m.
The total number of outstanding votes in Georgia is now 47,000, according to the Secretary of State.
The votes break down by county as follows:
Chatham 17,157
Clayton 6,026
Cobb 700
Floyd 682
Forsyth 4,713
Fulton 7,305
Gwinnett 4,800
Harris 3,641
Laurens 1,797
Taylor 456
Trump’s lead is 12,765 as of 4:00
Aren’t they still voting there?
This has never happened before in Georgia and it has Stacey Abrams written all over it.
Aren’t they still voting there?
I mean why stop at a month? of voting?
Yes it makes sense.
They are trying to fix the election.
Well, they recounted and then recounted again; and, I believe on the 3rd recount, voila, Christine Gregoire was the Gov of Washington.
Yes, they recount and recount and recount until they get the result that they want.
They do it because they can and because there are never any consequences for this behavior.
Yes, and none of the "found" ballots are votes for the other candidate. They are all for the Dem preferred candidate.
just asking.. what do you think of kemp bypassing collins for the senate seat now?
ya think maybe collins coulda gotten this finished?
I didn’t like it at the time, but I like both Loeffler and Collins. Loeffler voted with Trump 100% of the time during her interim. She is also very outspoken about the fraud and she and Perdue are fighting it as well. She also donated to the Trump fraud defense fund. Trump endorsed both of them at his Rome rally in GA.
I believe it doesn’t do any good to put down Loeffler right now no matter how you feel about her personally. We need to galvanize behind this senate seat and not give liberals ammunition against her with infighting
collins pulled out snd is helping loeffer..
collins would have had a better chance as an encumbant.. he was liked and served the Pres well in hearings.
kemp was asked in calls and emails to give that seat to collins . he refused.
collins is the man.. she is not..
collins i like very much. loeffler did the unthinkable first thing. whether she knew or not..it didnt go well.
fox had her on frequently and i didnt like that, since both were after the senate seat.
lastly.. loeffer sent out mailers calling collins names and descriptions that were untrue.. i got them in the mail. did not get a single negative from collins.
Now is not the time for this. Before, yes, in the future, sure. Not NOW
CollIns will have a place in Trump’s administration, bank on it.
its a time for me to blow.. sorry.
Trump already put collins in charge of the ga count.
I read an analysis earlier that showed how the dems - by going to court - got the “ID” for mail-in ballots reduced to either matching the voter’s registration signature, OR to matching the signature on the application.
No republicans involved.
