Elections Georgia Election: Absentee Ballots with wrong signatures can no longer be automatically rejected

[zebby23]

My signature can be all over the place so I actually approve of this.

Exactly right. My sig has changed a bit over the years so this is a good move by Georgia

Good job for the courts to step in here. The GA stories sounded pretty bad. He should've stepped down while he ran or something.

You mean to tell me the signature on every ballot paper is checked?

What kind of bumblefuck country does this?

Edit, absentee only. Ignore me.

All those people had broken hands huh

If only there were other things that could cause a discrepancy.....

I can think of one off the top of my head that I didn’t yesterday. I signed a check with a work glove on because I was in a rush to hand it to my secretary so she could deposit it before COB.

Is it unreasonable to notify people that their is and issue and give them three days to correct? I think Constituional rights are precious and that we ought to take every reasonable step to protect them. I think giving people 3 days to respond to an issue is very reasonable and even if only 1% of the people correct the issue that is better than not counting the vote of people eligible to vote

I already said the first part makes sense, which is what you spent on your time explaining.

It's officially over for Madam Le Fatass (Stacey Abrams).


Georgia certifies election results showing Kemp as victor in governor's race

Georgia Secretary of State Robyn A. Crittenden on Saturday announced the certification of election results from the disputed midterm elections, and, as anticipated, Republican Brian Kemp was the top vote-getter in the governor's race, besting Democratic competitor Stacey Abrams.

With 100 percent of precincts tallied, the state's official election website showed Kemp with 50.22% of voters, or 1,978,408 votes. Abrams, by comparison, had 48.83 percent, or 1,923,685.

Libertarian candidate Ted Metz had .095 percent of voters, or 37,235 votes, the website showed.

"After receipt of certified election results from all county election superintendents, the Secretary of State has tabulated, computed, canvassed, and certified the votes cast for all federal and state officers and questions voted for by voters of more than one county," the announcement said.

Georgia, like Florida and Arizona, among others states, saw tensions flare and challenges bloom after the Nov. 6 midterms, amid claims of inaccurate counting, voter suppression and other irregularities. But Abrams acknowledged Friday that she could not defeat Kemp.

Still, she vowed to pursue a federal lawsuit challenging the “gross mismanagement” of the state’s elections. While describing a variety of issues at the polls, Abrams said that "the state failed its voters."

"I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election. But to watch an elected official – who claims to represent the people in this state, baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people’s democratic right to vote – has been truly appalling," Abrams said. "So let's be clear, this is not a speech of concession."

He's easily the dumbest partisan hack in the war room.

Wow and that is a pretty competitive position
