Recount In Single Georgia County Starts Reversing Biden Lead, Nets Nearly 800 More Votes For Trump

A recount of Georgia’s election results led to a reassessment of more than 2,600 ballots in one county, leading to a net gain of 778 votes.

The recount, which occurred in Floyd County, discovered nearly 2,600 ballots that hadn’t been tallied and helped to erase Joe Biden’s 14,000-vote lead in the critical state.

Of the 2,600 ballots, 1,643 new votes for Trump and 865 went for Biden.

A recount in Georgia’s presidential race found more than 2,600 ballots in Floyd County that hadn’t originally been tallied, likely helping President Donald Trump reduce his 14,000-vote deficit to Joe Biden.

According to officials, the problem occurred because votes weren’t uploaded from a memory card into a ballot-scanning machine.
