Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger joins 'The Daily Briefing' with the latest.

More than 2,600 ballots in Georgia’s Floyd County that have not been tallied were recently found during a recount in the state for the 2020 presidential election, according to reports.


Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger blamed the problem on Floyd County election officials failing to upload votes from a memory card in a ballot-scanning machine.

Georgia began recounting its nearly 5 million ballots by hand on Friday after President Donald Trump and the Republican Party requested a statewide audit.

The 2,600 previously uncounted ballots in the county marked the most significant issue so far uncovered in the recount process. Floyd County Republican Party chair Luke Martin called the mishap “concerning” but insisted that it “doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue.”



“I’m glad the audit revealed it, and it’s important that all votes are counted,” Martin told the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. 



Other counties so far have not found uncounted ballots, with recount figures closely matching their original numbers, Raffensperger said.

Though President Trump has decried alleged voter fraud, the accounted ballots will likely do little to close the 14,000-vote gap with President-Elect Joe Biden. If Biden does emerge victorious, he will have clinched the Peach State's 16 electoral votes -- flipping a historically-red southern battleground.

Gabriel Sterling of the Secretary of State’s office told WSB-TV that the newly discovered ballots will hand Trump an additional 800 votes – which still leaves Biden in the lead.



At a Monday evening news conference, Sterling called for Floyd County’s elections director to step down.



“The secretary of, since this was such an amazing blunder and they had issues in August, would like to see that elections director in Floyd County step down from his position,” Sterling said.

Fox News reached out to the Floyd County Board of Elections and Voter Registration for comment but did not hear back.

What a ridiculous and outrageous state of affairs when this country is unable to conduct an election that can be trusted.  If our lawmakers and the officials who are responsible for this most elemental part of democracy can't be counted on then heads should roll.  I don't mean that symbolically; I mean heads should literally roll.  That's right, the death penalty is in no way too severe for anyone who seeks to steal the rights so many have died for.

I'm betting if the penalty for cheating were tough enough, those in power could figure out a fool proof system in very quick order.  Step number one--positive voter I.D.  Step number two--no computers involved in any way.  Step number three--total open observation of the handling, validating and counting of all votes.

Agreed Sir, trouble is, the only ones that can change it is the ones doing the cheating.  Pic ID is a must.CHARLIE.

Georgias' recount is a sham. Republicans aren't allowed close enough to examine the ballots to see if their legit, or even check the signatures, and dates.
Their governor sucks.

But would Georgia be enough to tip the scales in Trumps favor? Maybe keep the Senate. We knew mail in voteing would be a problem, but we never foresaw this big of a problem.

Biden sat on his ass during the entire campaign. Why?

Because the powers running the show, police themselves.  They still are.

Trump is an outsider, Biden is an insider. Insiders are in charge of supervising the election recount.
