Georgian Republican Party chairman David Shafer, has disclosed on Wednesday, that DeKalb County’s hand recount has led to the discovery of an error which gave former US vice president Joe Biden, a massive 9626 votes against US president Donald Trump, in the State's presidential election result.
Prior to this latest discovery, the Georgia secretary of state’s office on Tuesday, announced that over 2,700 votes in Fayette County were not uploaded properly.
“Of the 2,755 votes, 1,577 were for President Trump, while 1,128 went to former Vice President Joe Biden,” according to Breitbart News.
Trump also netted 176 votes following an audit in Walton County.
Had this counting error not been discovered, Biden would have gained enough votes from this one batch alone to cancel out Trump’s gains from Fayette, Floyd and Walton.

“One of our monitors discovered a 9,626 vote error in the DeKalb County hand count. One batch was labeled 10,707 for Biden and 13 for Trump – an improbable margin even by DeKalb standards,” Shafer said. “The actual count for the batch was 1,081 for Biden and 13 for Trump.”
According to Shafer, the error, if not discovered, would have essentially given Biden enough votes to “cancel out Trump’s gains from Fayette, Floyd and Walton.”
“We were limited to 1 monitor for every 10 counting tables and we were kept some distance from the tables. There is no telling what we missed under these unreasonable restrictions. The miscounted batch had been be signed off by two official counters,” Shafer continued in the Wednesday update.
The Georgia GOP chairman added that an affidavit from the monitor has been turned over to the secretary of state, and their attorneys have “requested an investigation”.
President Donald Trump, has been screaming 'Fraud' since an overnight tally of the November 3rd election, saw his earlier lead though massive, disappeared, and his democrat rival, Biden, declared as president-elect by the media.
