We see a tiny lead in the 2020 Georgia election now that an audit has been done. The lead is really nothing, but it shows that the race was far closer than previously shown.
Georgia Audit Confirms Trump Victory
https://sos.ga.gov/news/georgia-audit-confirms-trump-victoryThis week, all 159 Georgia counties conducted a post-election audit of ballots cast in the March 12th Republican Presidential Preference Primary. As part of the audit, every Georgia county was required to count randomly selected ballots totaling 413 batches from across the state, or 7.5% of ballots overall. The risk limiting audit was conducted with a 5% risk limit.
Below is a comparison of the vote totals for each candidate for the batches that were audited:
[Note that there is an image at the site that won't paste in here.]This small amount of difference is well within the expected margin of error for an audit of this size, and it is largely caused by human error during the hand counting process.
Georgia law mandates that risk-limiting audits must be conducted following any election with statewide or federal contests. All counties participated in the required Risk-Limiting Audit that confirmed the original result as tabulated by the voting equipment. Notably, every audit of a race in Georgia, including the hand-count audit of the 2020 election results, have confirmed that the system functioned properly and that the result was correct.
"Our county election directors are always going above and beyond," said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. "Their hard work secures our voting system, building trust in communities across the state."
As in November 2022, Georgia's audit was supported by VotingWorks and their Arlo auditing software.

lol, you thought this was some magatard election denier supporting article but it's actually just the opposite. (2024 primary audit using same system as 2020 general election. Trump won the 2024 primary, lost the 2020 general. Both outcomes legitimate)

What is your motivation for posting articles you don't care enough about to read past the headline?
What is your motivation for suggesting what my thoughts are, considering that you don't know? As usual, rather than explain what you know, you try to 'ad hominem' somebody that has different ideals than you.
You've shared your thoughts on the 2020 election with hundreds, probably thousands of posts and links.
The link you posted was about the 2024 GOP primary, which Trump won.
You didn't read the article, \the text that you copy pasted below the headline or even the date it was published (almost 6 months ago...) You probably found the article linked with an incorrect or misleading summary on one of your right wing rage bait/vitamin and supplement stores disguised as a media site with journalists. After clicking it, and before posting it here, you only read this much of the article:
And perhaps glanced at the table with the vote counts.
And then, instead of continuing to read the rest of the article, you just assumed that it was making one of the various arguments about 2020 election fraud which have been proven false and posted this:
We see a tiny lead in the 2020 Georgia election now that an audit has been done. The lead is really nothing, but it shows that the race was far closer than previously shown.
If you had read the actual article that you shared, you would have realized that:
- The audit was of the 2024 GOP primary
- The Georgia Secretary of State mentioned the 2020 election to point out that, like this 2024 GOP primary, the 2020 General election was also fair with no evidence of any fraud significant enough to swing the outcome.
You should read the articles you post before you post them instead of making assumptions.
If I'm wrong, you should explain why you posted "We see a tiny lead in the 2020 Georgia election now"
If I'm right, you should just attack me and not give any logical explanation for claiming "We see a tiny lead in the 2020 Georgia election now" while posting a link about the 2024 GOP primary audit that went on to defend the integrity of the 2020 election.
Here's the entire article:
Georgia Audit Confirms Trump Victory
March 22nd, 2024
Atlanta - Using the same equipment as in the 2020 election, an audit of the Republican race in the 2024 Presidential Preference Primary confirmed former President Donald Trump as the winner. This week, all 159 Georgia counties conducted a post-election audit of ballots cast in the March 12th Republican Presidential Preference Primary. As part of the audit, every Georgia county was required to count randomly selected ballots totaling 413 batches from across the state, or 7.5% of ballots overall. The risk limiting audit was conducted with a 5% risk limit.
Below is a comparison of the vote totals for each candidate for the batches that were audited:

Georgia is recognized as a national leader in elections. It was the first state in the country to implement the trifecta of automatic voter registration, at least 17 days of early voting (which has been called the “gold standard”), and no-excuse absentee voting. Georgia continues to set records for voter turnout and election participation, seeing the largest increase in average turnout of any other state in the 2018 midterm election and record turnout in 2020, and 2022. 2022 achieved the largest single day of in-person early voting turnout in Georgia midterm history utilizing Georgia’s secure, paper ballot voting system. Most recently, Georgia ranked #1 for Election Integrity by the Heritage Foundation, a top ranking for Voter Accessibility by the Center for Election Innovation & Research and tied for number one in Election Administration by the Bipartisan Policy Center.
