The chairman of the Georgia Republican Party said one of their monitors discovered a 9,626 vote error in the DeKalb County hand count.
“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,” GOP Chair David Shafer wrote in a series of Twitter messages. “The actual count for the batch was 1,081 for Biden and 13 for Trump.
Shafer pointed out that 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.
“Our attorneys have turned over an affidavit from our monitor to the Secretary of State and requested an investigation,” he said.
There’s been no comment from DeKalb County election workers or the Georgia Secretary of State’s office.
