Here, let me explain this to you.
Yes, the Secretary of State oversees the election process put forth in the state's law. Each county has an election supervisor, who may be an R, a D or an independent. The county election supervisor is responsible to follow orders from the SoS and the applicable laws.
Now, let's say in the counties with adult supervision (R) we are seeing little voting issues, but in the major urban counties that are blue (D) we are seeing all sorts of regularities coming in.
Now it is up to the SoS and the GA Legislature to intervene, which oddly enough, is happening. Oh, and this is what has the (D)'s upset in GA. Notice the (R) counties are not pitching hissy fits and welcome an audit and recount. Tells you all you need to know.
So, why exactly are you so opposed to election audits and recounts? Don't you want the elections to be shown as honest with integrity?
The votes don't have to be certified until Dec 14th, so why the rush?
Where have I said that I was against recounts? As far as I know, many of these states are going to do recounts because the election was close. What I said was that most of the Mango Mussilini's objections are baseless, there is no evidence at all of massive fraud. That's why all his lawsuits have been thrown out.
I agree with the objections that the counts aren't done, in many states they aren't. The problem is the massive numbers of absentee and other mail in ballots. There are no provisions to count them quickly, so it takes time. What is clear is that in the states that have been called, there aren't sufficient ballots outstanding to change the result.
Of course, if the same thing happens in the recount,
e.g. absentee ballots have to be scrutinized one by one for signatures, the recounts are going be similarly glacial.
The one thing of which I am absolutely sure, no matter what happens, when Biden is finally announced the winner by whatever body for whom you guys are waiting, Trump will claim fraud and file lawsuits. He will not concede his loss under any circumstances. He will continue to rail agains the theft of his election until his dying day. No doubt you all will do likewise.
I'm just hoping that Trump is an aberration, and not the new normal. All this divisiveness is really bad for America.
