GA - Gwinnet County has finished counting!

Gwinnett approves additional votes, widens the vote margin for Biden in Georgia
Almost a week after Election Day, Gwinnett County is officially done counting more than 416,000 votes.


The Gwinnett County Board of Voter Registration and Elections met Monday morning to approve provisional ballots, which are votes cast on paper when a voter cannot be found on a polling place’s voter roll or does not have proper identification. Those who cast provisional ballots must cure them by presenting proof of address or ID.

Of 935 provisional ballots cast, 669 were approved by the board Monday and added to Georgia’s total vote count. Once the final ballots were counted and submitted to the state, the board certified the election results, formally bringing the count to a close.

Gwinnett’s transit referendum was still incredibly close when the vote count was complete. “No” slightly led, with 50.13% of the vote — just 1,013 votes ahead of “Yes.” READ MORE from Gwinnett

The Georgia Secretary of State updated its unofficial statewide tally to show Biden with a lead of 10,610 votes over Trump in Georgia.

And Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan became the latest Republican elected official to say there’s no evidence of voter fraud or irregularities in Georgia.





UPDATED totals (looks like other counties still going):

Biden: 2,467,747
trump: 2,456,155
Other: 62,404

New Biden: 1,111
New trump: 142
New Other: 14

% New Biden: 87.69%

Since it is in the range of an automatic recount they will wait for that. Recount may not be finished till Thanksgiving week.

Remember, FL had 1 million MORE votes in 2000 than GA does in 2020 and only a few hundred vote change was the result of the "shortened" recount

They claim the election process in Georgia hasn't been transparent. They are so pissed that Brad didn't CHEAT for them.

they counted under several different standards- dimples, hanging chads, etc.
gore won by over 100 votes.
ya know why nobody knows that? cuz a day or 2 later was 9/11.

Biden's campaign must have gone hard for GA and Arizona plus the upper midwest states. It's very interesting how states evolve over time for various reasons.

Now if we can pass some voter rights protections to fight suppression, more supposedly red states might become purple.

i was one of them. GA blue? nah. i had grave doubts about AZ.

but what really sucks is that I thought the state where i live, NC, WOULD go blue. it's likely that the USPS interference impacted the outcome here, but it also sucks that it was even close. very disappointed, and very happy for GA and AZ.

The margin is big enough that there's zero ways for the outcome to change. Georgia is over, it's Blue.

all bets are off on how much fraud and irregularities (aka criminal acts) the Republicans here in Georgia will commit.

Kemp and Raffensperger are getting an earful from the Georgia GOP far right.

They're no doubt twisting his arm to get him to appoint Trump electors.

the voting is over, it affects nothing to call it. Biden won pending a recount will suffice for me.
Color the state blue.
