Advocates for both presidential candidates raced to find every person in Georgia who submitted a flawed ballot before time ran out Friday to fix the paperwork in a race that could be decided by the narrowest of margins.

Hours before the 5 p.m. deadline, Christin Clatterbuck and Sarah Meng joined about 20 other volunteers who planned to visit addresses in suburban Atlanta's Gwinnett County in search of voters whose ballots were initially rejected but could be fixed with a signature or an ID.

Other problem ballots were cast by people not listed on the voter rolls who will need to explain why. They must correct, or "cure," their ballots by the deadline for the votes to count. "As you know, it's so, so, so important. Today by no seconds later than 5 o'clock," Meng said, giving details on exactly what needed to be done.The pair did not hit every home on the list. They decided to skip a house where an SUV in the driveway had a "Blue Lives Matter" sticker to show support for law enforcement in the face of Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality and racial injustice.

"The voters I had talked to, they had already been talked to by like four people," state. Rep. Bee Nguyen, an Atlanta Democrat who went door to door Wednesday in DeKalb County."It's definitely hit or miss like anything. Think about a telemarketer," said Aklima Khondoker, the Georgia state director of All Voting is Local. "Typically for me, when a strange phone number comes up, I think it is spam.

The Associated Press has not declared a winner in Georgia because the race remains too close to call. The state's 16 electoral votes could clinch the contest for Biden in his quest for the 270 votes needed to win the presidency.

Jamil Jivani: Blackness test for Ottawa grants a throwback to colonialismFor a government so politically correct it borders on comedy, the Trudeau Liberals find themselves in yet another controversy concerning race. I blame Donald Trump, no hang on...its Stephen Harpers fault...no no wait a minute, oh I know its MIKE HARRIS fault. Thank you Jamil for actually speaking the truth. Please run as a Federal Conservative candidate in the upcoming pandemic election. Liberals are racist. There’s no other explanation. They’ve normalized racism within the party. Identity groups will someday realize they’re just a photo op (and referred to as voter blocks) to the Liberals.
