Georgia has re-certified the results of the presidential election in the state, hours after state Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed that a machine recount requested by the Trump campaign upheld president-elect Joe Biden's win in the state.
Raffensperger also criticized those who continue to doubt the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state, saying that the push to overturn the results was "hurting the state."
Georgia has counted ballots in the presidential election three times — the initial count, a full election audit and hand recount, which was done at Raffensperger's request, and a machine recount which was held a the request of the Trump campaign. All three counts have shown Biden won the state.
Raffensperger says he's been personally pressured by fellow Republicans to personally intervene and overturn the results of the election. At a Saturday political rally, Trump criticized Raffensperger publicly.
There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the state. Last week, Attorney General Bill Barr said the Justice Department had not yet found evidence of fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

This is like the end of a basketball game where the last 26 seconds take 25 minutes because the losing team keeps fouling.

How many recounts and lawsuits does Trump have to lose before conservatives all accept the results I wonder. I keep seeing posts from r/conservative come up about a video that proves election fraud, something about the fraudulent ballots already having been counted so the recount is illegitimate. If that was actually the case, one would think it would’ve been considered by the courts at this point.

We'd like to lose the same race one more time, please.
