I didn’t mention it (except in response to detailed questions) because it was so few raw votes but Appling did indeed appear to be missing a couple dozen votes in its certified results
Pulaski, the only county that never gave any updates after Election Night, reports 25 additional votes in the audit, an increase of 0.6%. I am, uh, not convinced the results marked as certified in ENR for them actually are the certified results.
The state will be certifying the machine count, not the hand audit results
Here's what'll happen. Tomorrow, the state will certify the machine count based on scanned ballots, including ballots that were found during the audit. Once they do so, Trump can request a recount, which would involve scanning all the ballots again and recertifying that count.
The machine count will be certified, not the hand count, unless a court orders otherwise.
Looking at the precinct details, no candidate lost votes in any precinct overall, so I imagine there were some mail absentees that had been misclassified as provisionals. Or…maybe they were really provisionals and *now* they're being misclassified. Can't say which.
Also there’s not much point to a photo ID if you can’t see the person you’re trying to identify.
Would it be better than signature match? Uh, maybe, I’d need to think about that more. But if it would require the use of a printer, then absolutely not.
Digging into the audit detail file and wow there’s a ton of information. For example: In Bryan County’s early votes, Biden did best in the first few days and on Saturday the 24th.
