Georgia Recount Yields Few Changes in Vote Totals

November 15, 2020 at 9:36 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Georgia’s hand audit of ballots cast in the presidential election is proceeding rapidly with little change in the results so far, according to lawyers working for President-elect Joe Biden’s campaign,” Bloomberg reports.

“Some 48 of the state’s 159 counties have finished their examination of the ballots with either no change or minor shifts — differences of fewer than five votes in some instances.”
