Georgia secretary of state orders hand recount of 5 million ballots

Atlanta, November 13 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Georgia, Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has ordered a hand recount of more than 5 million ballots — the largest such recount in U.S. history — after Georgia’s two sitting Republican senators, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, called for his resignation, claiming he had “failed to deliver honest and transparent elections.”  Raffensperger is now in quarantine after his wife tested positive for COVID-19 Thursday.  

Georgia Voting System Implementation Manager Gabriel Sterling dismissed charges by President Trump that votes for Trump were “flipped” to Biden.   Sterling said: “I know that there’s many other bits of misinformation out there talking about flipping votes and changing votes. … Anybody who’s claiming that things are being flipped by a super secret computer developed by the CIA is just not speaking — well, is speaking nonsense.”
