This is a huge shift that takes Democrat Brad Raffensperger out of the equation because not only will voter ID be required, but when there is a discrepancy in the number of votes that does not align with the number of voters, counties cannot certify the election until a complete investigation takes place and the possible illegal votes are reconciled, meaning those who rig elections could be held accountable. Election integrity has come to Georgia.
The Georgia Election Board has voted 3-2 in favor of the new rule which must be used in this year’s election. Chain of custody must also be maintained in order for the votes to be counted. This will make it extremely difficult for Democrats to cheat, although not impossible. The new rule, reported by former RNC official and Trump’s spokeswoman Liz Harrington, is set to overhaul how precincts handle election returns.
Tabulating Results: After each election, but no later than 3 PM on the Friday following the election, the Election Board must conduct a review of precinct returns. This includes tabulating all absentee ballots, advance voting, Election Day in-person voting, and provisional ballots. The total number of unique voter IDs will then be compared with the total ballots cast in each precinct.
Investigating Discrepancies: In instances where the number of ballots cast surpasses the number of unique voter IDs, the Board is required to determine which voting method the discrepancy originated from and conduct a thorough investigation. Votes from the affected precinct will not be counted until the investigation is completed and the results are presented to the Board, as mandated by GA Code § 21-2-493(b).
Certification of Results: Once all precinct discrepancies have been investigated and corrected, the accurate returns will be recorded and verified. Only then will the consolidated returns be certified by the superintendent, with the certification deadline set at 5:00 PM on the Monday following the election. The certified returns must then be immediately transmitted to the Secretary of State.

If fraud is discovered, the Board is obligated to compute the votes justly and report the facts to the district attorney for further action.
