Title: A Full Hand Recount in Each County in Georgia.

Details included within the link, but not recommended for anybody who doesn't want to know!

An R.L.A. will be used to minimize the amount of time and work required by election officials.

--------------------------------------------------

And so, each country gets their hands on the ballots again and that has to offer huge opportunity for a fixed count. The absolute beautiful thing about that is in giving the Trump side the opportunity they need in just one county coming up with claims of a miscount in favour of Biden.

Then comes new energy in the minds of Trump's supporters to further pursue the claims of cheating as they carry it in their heads to imagine the amount of cheating that took place in other states!

This is very serious stuff on the part of Trump and his supporters. This is a very real challenge to America's democratic system. Americans should laugh it all off at their peril!

And here's how an R.L.A. can serve Trump's purpose perfectly!

Georgia was bound for an automatic recount.

There will be monitors watching right ?

If there was no funny business, then the results will likely not be interesting.

I don't see a problem here.

Just another grasping at straws for poor old donny. He showed no dignity at having won an election, so he'll certainly show none at having lost this one.

Every state could recount their votes 5 times, it doesn't really matter as long as the person with the most votes gets the proper amount of EC votes from each state.

I suppose in close states the loser has the right to a recount.  If things were counted more or less correctly the Democrats have nothing to fear and will win in the end again.  Small counting errors are to be expected in any election.

They could even find evidence of wrongdoing, but it wouldn't change anything unless there's so much wrongdoing it would nab Trump the election, which seems very unlikely.

If it makes Trump and his followers happy to burn money on lawyers grasping at straws, whatever.  Trump is a dick, he has no problem spending the money of supporters in court, he'd rather do that than take that money and donate it to the party.

The situation is extremely volatile.
The people are roughly divided 50/50.
Trump's supporters are convinced there was cheating.
The Scotus is secured by Trump.
The A/G is in Trump's pocket.

A willful cheating irregularity could be turned into an earthquake.

It's my job here to air some possibilities.
It's our spammers' job to scoff at them.

I find this a lot in trolls....   the project.  They’re the spammer, so they call everyone a spammer.

They’re the ones spouting nonsense about COVID, so they call everyone else a Covidiot. 

You’re so transparent that it’s rather sad and pathetic.  You’re not even smart enough to be good at trolling.

You must have thought that I was referring to you as a 'spammer' squid?

And here's how an R.L.A. can serve Trump's purpose perfectly!

recount requirement stems from existing Georgia state law, vis-a-vis margin difference. Existing state law also has provision for a RLA (Risk Limiting Audit to examine a statistically meaningful sample in each respective county). However, given the national profile, this was amended... "on the fly"... to effect an alternate approach to do a "full hand recount in each county". The Secretary of State (a Republican) is pushing back against Trumpalo's unhappy with his review/oversight of the election results (https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/09/politics/georgia-2020-election-kelly-loeffler-david-perdue-brad-raffensperger/index.html) - most prominent the statements from the 2 Republican Senate candidates calling for his resignation... given the closeness of their own recent election results, the same 2 candidates that will be involved in the January 'run-off' election races against the same Democrat candidates.

Who is spamming on this thread?  Nobody.

Calling someone a spammer is not an argument.

Good to see you back more active again! Could you have a look at the wording of your link and fix it up? Thanks.

I agree! And spamming destroys any possibility of a good conversation. My comment that referred to possible spamming is just a precaution meant to discourage them.

If you think I've posted an argument then why not try to argue the contrary. I've posted some statements of fact but you're not saying you disagree.
