Thread by @BrendanKeefe

I'm live tweeting the Georgia Sec of State news conference with @GabrielSterling in this thread:
4,968,000 ballots hand audited. Tens of thousands left.
(thread)

12,781 margin now - Biden leads Georgia

112 counties have are either zero discrepancies or single digits.
13 counties have teens of votes different from original count.

Loose quote from @GabrielSterling "If Trump is frustrated, he's gaining in the count." He added, imagine if Biden had been gaining.

Georgia Sec of State's @GabrielSterling addressed concerns raised by @DavidShafer and GA GOP about an audit error in DeKalb County. Said that this is pre-certification and, if true, it was caught in the audit & doesn't change the outcome. Said the courts are available.

Sec of State has received overwhelming complaints including one against @GabrielSterling for saying something during one of these news conferences. Receiving the complaints is like "drinking from a firehose," Gabe said.

"Humans are going to make mistakes," Gabriel Sterling said referencing fixed DeKalb issue that may have added a zero to an audit count. He said it would have been caught anyway. "Non-event, non-issue" and @GabrielSterling's longtime friend @DavidShafer is "stirring the pot."

58 Georgia counties have reported zero discrepancies so far in the audit.

President Trump's tweets complaining about fraudulent counts in Georgia are, "ironic because he has actually gained votes in this process." - Republican @GabrielSterling with the Georgia Secretary of State's Office.

DeKalb issue involved about a 9,000-vote error in the audit. It was caught because the batch was 1,000 votes or so, but the total was 10,000 votes on the tally sheet and they knew they had to go back and check. NOT part of the original count, and not part of final count.

Four Georgia counties, total, have discovered additional ballots during the audit. ALL races voted on those ballots will be added to the count in the final numbers when the Sec. of State certifies.

"We do a pretty good job of removing dead people from the rolls in this state." @GabrielSterling with Republican- led Georgia Secretary of State Office referencing the Trump campaign's re-stated claims of dead voters that we debunked.

Once again, for those in the back:

The news conference has ended. I'll post an overview from my main account.

Updates shortly from my Twitter handle (same account) just not in this thread.
