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%.

Hardly and audit.
No, that wasn't the process in Georgia. The 100% hand recount audit was to audit the counting machines, thus they were not tabulated through the same counting machines. Yes the same ballots, no on how they were counted. Thus the ballots weren't audited but the counting machines were.
No one likes to hear it but the machine counts held up and there was no machine fraud exposed in Georgia. If there had been machine fraud, especially as extensive as 94,000 votes or some of the other counts thrown out there for Georgia, the hand recount audit would have exposed that.
It would be nice to shine some light on the signature matching question, especially before the Senate runoffs coming up January 5, 2021.
Joe Blow and Susie Q requested them. Since there was no need for any verification.
The rats have access to voting records and used those records to ‘cure’ the vote, while Republicans sat around and did nothing.
I agree with this.
Hand recount does indicate a pure machine at least at that point. It is of considerable concern that those machines were never attached to a network post election.
If they were, they could be reprogrammed to count fairly, vs not fairly during the initial count. Or with a thumbdrive if not networked.
One would think the machine has a record of updates stored within.
No. Check that. The recount did not differ much from the initial count. So no reprogramming happened.
The only way to fix this is an envelope audit. A few 10s of thousands of those would give the legislature cause to appoint Trump electors.
Translation: ‘I’m a republican governor and I just screwed a republican President but republican voters, note that he can still beg a court to let him go around me so it’s all good and you can continue to donate and vote for me. Thanks!”
I was a Poll Monitor. There was no way that you could see if the election drones were counting ballots correctly.
t is my understanding that any “recount” will simply be running the ballots through the same counting machines.
