Echoing Trump, @sendavidperdue is asking for the impossible - a recount “in which signatures on absentee ballot envelopes are properly matched and verified to their signature on the registration.” #gapol
County election officials verify signatures when they receive absentee ballots, but after that point, it’s impossible to match ballots back to voters due to ballot secrecy protections guaranteed by the Georgia Constitution. #gapol #gasen https://www.ajc.com/politics/how-georgia-verifies-signatures-on-absentee-ballots/JCF7E2HMGNGG5M3Z4D3SRAXUZM/">https://www.ajc.com/politics/...
Now the @GaRepublicans leadership gets in on the action, with a letter making the same impossible demand — “an immediate audit of the absentee ballots cast in the 2020 General Election. This audit must include verification of signature match.” #gapol
And @SenatorLoeffler jumps on the same train, asking for something that can’t be achieved by state law protecting the secrecy of the ballot — to “match and verify absentee ballot signatures to their corresponding voter registration signatures.” #gapol #gasen
