BREAKING: Trump Requests Recount Of Georgia Election Results
Trump has requested a recount of Georgia election results.
OnyxNews Nigeria reports that President Donald Trump’s legal team said Saturday that his campaign has requested a recount of votes in the Georgia presidential race after results showed Democrat Joe Biden winning the state in the US Election 2020.
Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified the state’s election results On Friday, which had Biden defeating Trump by 12,670 votes out of about 5 million cast, or 0.25%. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp then certified the state’s slate of 16 presidential electors.
The statement from Trump’s legal team said: “Today, the Trump campaign filed a petition for recount in Georgia. We are focused on ensuring that every aspect of Georgia State Law and the U.S. Constitution are followed so that every legal vote is counted. President Trump and his campaign continue to insist on an honest recount in Georgia, which has to include signature matching and other vital safeguards.”

“Without signature matching, this recount would be a sham and again allow for illegal votes to be counted,” the statement added. “If there is no signature matching, this would be as phony as the initial vote count and recount. Let’s stop giving the People false results. There must be a time when we stop counting illegal ballots. Hopefully it is coming soon.”
Meanwhile, Georgia law allows a candidate to request a recount if the margin is less than 0.5%.
Scanners would be used to do the recount that read and tabulate the votes. County election workers have already done a complete hand recount of all the votes cast in the presidential race. But that stemmed from a compulsory audit requirement and isn’t considered an official recount under the law.
