Reporting issue in Georgia could significantly affect Biden lead

Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced on Facebook and Twitter that “Fulton County has discovered an issue involving reporting from their work on Friday.” “Officials are at State Farm Arena to rescan their work from Friday” according to Raffensperger.

Fulton has discovered an issue involving reporting from their work on Fri. Officials are at State Farm Arena to rescan that work. I have a monitor & investigators onsite. Also sent Dep. SOS as well to oversee the process to make sure to secure the vote and protect all legal votes

When examining the margin, Fulton is D+40.6. It appears the error is in Biden’s favor, which could sway a lot of votes to President Trump when corrected. Such a large increase vs. 2016 does not not match what we would expect if we extrapolate from Georgia’s 2020 exit polls

Georgia Television station WXIA (NBC Atlanta Affiliate) reports that this development “may significantly affect the current Biden lead in Georgia.
