Georgia Gov. Kemp Teases Audit of Election Results
Newsmax ^ | 11/21/2020

Posted on 11/21/2020 10:46:07 AM PST by Beave Meister

Gov. Brian Kemp certified the state's slate of 16 presidential electors, but acknowledged that will still permit President Donald Trump's legal team to officially call for a recount.

The move will "formalize the certification," but it "paves the way for the Trump campaign to pursue other legal options and a separate recount if they choose," Kemp said Friday night, per The Associated Press.

Kemp expressed concern the completed Georgia audit looked only at ballots, not the signatures on the absentee ballot applications or absentee ballot envelopes.

"As a former Secretary of State, he is the first to know and confirm that a signature is matched twice prior to an absentee ballot being counted," Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs said in a statement.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified results reported by the state's 159 counties that show Biden with 2.47 million votes, President Trump with 2.46 million votes, and Libertarian Jo Jorgensen with 62,138. That leaves Biden leading by a margin of 12,670 votes, or 0.25%.

It is my understanding that any “recount” will simply be running the ballots through the same counting machines.

Hardly and audit.

Recounting the same unverifiable ballots is ....’Hardly an audit.’

I’m not sure I understand what an envelope / signature audit could do.

Yes, you might find 100,000 envelopes with bogus signatures. But then what do you do? The envelopes are not matched to ballots anymore because the ballots are secret vote. The ballots were removed and put in the stack. They become anonymous at that point.

So you might want to erase 100,000 votes, but which votes do you erase? You could never randomly erase ballots. Equal Protection clause would stop that.

So I don’t know what can be done with an envelope audit. Though . . . it might certainly cause the legislature to act.

Kemp is teasing by raising both middle fingers to conservatives.

“We certify, and we’ll check for fraud later - maybe next spring.”

I think he is trying to fix it for the Senate run off and for the election in 2022. Hopefully he losses the primary. He is better than Nathan Deal.

In March of this year, Georgia changed the rules on signature verify and did so with no legislature involvement. They (the SoS) essentially removed a reqmt for signature verify and this election was conducted under that new rule.

The SoS is a never Trumper.

The Constitution does not permit changing rules without legislature involvement.

The ballots have been separated from the envelopes. Extracting specific ballots from the count is not possible, but an envelope audit could provide justification to the legislature to act.

Word is that right after the certification the Shredders were brought in to destroy evidence.

Envelopes can be cured and it’s not clear what that means given that signature verify was not required. Probably address errors were cured. It would be good to have details on this.

The State has to certify I order for the campaign to file a dispute.

It’s part of the process.

No one should be worked up about this.

There is no ID verification on mail-in ballots. There is no way to prove any mail-in ballot is legitimate.

Why is it we have been keeping bank accounts straight for many years, but we cannot count election votes?

That makes no sense. How did the ballot reach the recipient.
