Update #2: President Trump addressed the SNAFU in Georgia on Twitter Friday, following an announcement from the Secretary of State claiming the election results had been certified, only to later dispute that announcement.
“The Governor of Georgia, and Secretary of State, refuse to let us look at signatures which would expose hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots, and give the Republican Party and me, David Perdue, and perhaps Kelly Loeffler, a BIG VICTORY…,” the president tweeted, adding, “Why won’t they do it, and why are they so fast to certify a meaningless tally?”
Update #1: A breaking news update out of Georgia claims the Secretary of State’s office is still completing election certification, despite an earlier announcement by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger claiming the state had certified results in Biden’s favor.
Newsmax’s Emerald Robinson reports the secretary of state issued a correction claiming the state had not yet certified results and that it would be done later Friday afternoon.
All this as Vice President Mike Pence flew into Georgia Friday, greeted by Gov. Brian Kemp as he arrived.

On Friday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger declared Joe Biden the winner by 12,000 votes, handing him the state’s 16 electoral college votes despite thousands of uncounted ballots discovered by a hand count of ballots in several counties.
In a public statement, Raffensperger who described himself as a “proud Trump supporter,” claimed he was disappointed Trump did not emerge as the victor.
A statement from Raffensperger’s office stated “the statewide consolidated returns for state and federal offices are a true and correct tabulation of the certified returns received by this office for each county.”
“With the certification, the two-business-day time period begins for a candidate who lost by less than 0.5% of the vote to request a recount. Certification does not preclude the state from continuing any current investigations related to the General Election or from pursuing any future allegations that may arise from these elections.”
Recently, voter irregularities were observed in several Georgia counties following a hand recount, which led to the discovery of thousands of uncounted ballots in Floyd, Fayette, Walton and DeKalb counties.
On Thursday, President Trump railed against the recount, arguing illegal votes need to be discarded, signatures should be matched, and state lawmakers need to address the thousands of uncounted ballots.
Constitutional attorney Robert Barnes highlighted the fact any Georgia voter can now file an “election contest” since the results have been certified.
