Georgia will conduct another recount of its presidential ballots following a Trump campaign request Saturday, but the recount is extremely unlikely to change his loss in the state.

"Because the margin is still less than 0.5%, the President can request a recount after certification of the results. That recount will be conducted by rescanning all paper ballots," Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had said in a statement on Friday after a state audit of the presidential results had been completed.President-elect Joe Biden, who was declared the winner Friday as the state certified the results, has a 12,670 vote or .

President Trump and his campaign continue to insist on an honest recount in Georgia, which has to include signature matching and other vital safeguards," the Trump campaign said in a statement.Georgia's GOP governor and secretary of state certify Biden win, quashing Trump's longshot attempt to overturn results"Last week's recount reaffirmed what we already knew: Georgia voters selected Joe Biden to be their next president.

Perhaps he's just.....biden his time

After 20 days alone with ballots, Ds produced more signatures then needed :) Watch their margin increase by 300% :)

It should be audited but the Democrats don't want a audit why?

Trump messed with the mail service in an attempt to win the election. He has no business disputing results.

Yes but they were able to get the extra ballots filled-in and ready to be counted.

The mental incapacity of Trump is surpassed only by the servitude of the GOP lawmakers.

. I had no idea Trump was going to give us a laugh all the way to the end. JoeBidenLockUpDonaldTrump TrumpTrialForCoronavirusDeaths

LOL? Is Trump going to pay for it? Did Trump even pay for the 2nd recount done by hand?

And when this doesn't work they will bribe the electors. Trump wont stop.

The entire election will change.

Georgia can’t you count. Trump must think you can’t

Lol!!!🤣🤣..she's.probably the only president to lose several times in 1 election..would someone plz tell that orange 1 to leave the white house expeditiously.

Their intention is to cause trouble

Great, so they recounted fraudulent ballots. The logic is completely sound. Audit, anyone?

Waste of time, money and resources. Someone needs to intervene because this is beyond ridiculous. A third count which is unlikely to change is a gross display of leadership and government.

How much does this cost taxpayers?

Bet Georgian trumpkins support this move, even if it cuts into their own welfare checks, cause you know, that's just kinda bumpkins they are.

Trump is milking money from his stupid cult😂🤣

How many times do you want Georgia recount the damn ballots. You lot, now get the hell a stepping.

Nah, this is no longer about a vote for President, the GOP is using this as ad for Senate race,...on taxpayers monies. Election2020

There was a time when you stood with Trump or Biden. But, now with the turmoil that trump has presented, I feel that now is the time to stand with America OR trump. I stand with America!!!!

I love to see Trump lose over and over. Give it up dude YOU LOST

SHAME IN USA NO DEMOCRACY

How many times in a row does Trump want to lose Georgia?

Enough is enough already

It's ok Biden will win georgia 3 times

Are you serious ?

Trumpery should be paying for the recount.

Kelly Loeffler should cash in her private jet (which she bought from GA taxpayers) to pay for this recount. Better yet, why doesn’t trump pay for it? You know since he’s supposed to be a billionaire

When is the State allowed to say enough is enough? Real question to anyone

So Georgia Tax payers have to cover the tab of YET Another recount because The Soon to be EX President is a Cry baby? What a pathetic Loser. RT if your sick of this trash and can't wait for him to be gone!

Why doesn’t someone file a suit to stop these recounts.

There’s a lesson to be learned. Parents don’t let your kids win at everything they turn out like Trump, a 74 year old crybaby, who is a sore loser.

He’s trying to run out the clock. He’s a mess and no one needs him around. He will lose again.

The trump campaign has to reimburse the taxpayers for the cost of this frivolous recount

Why does media report opinions like news? I have been off Twitter for a month and missed nothing relevant. Funny how staying away from nonsense makes you feel better. We will have a new President in January and he has 47 years experience. Hopefully, he will unify us.

So sad and pathetic.

We need to change the recount laws.

Nothing to do with who is the winner as long as the election is fair. It’s the principle. Shame on CNN.

Third time is still a charm for Joe Biden. Trump and these good old racist Southern boys, can't accept that Georgia was turned blue by a large black and white voter turnout. Thank you SOS Rathenberger for not allowing them to corrupt you.

Again? How many times does he want to lose to the same state?

Lol wasn't it already recounted in GA? Idiot

HE LOST END OF STORY

“Unlikely “

Trump will pardon himself, 👪, friends for federal crimes b4 he leaves. I doubt he'll see a jail cell for State crimes. Even if it's proven he engaged in tax fraud or rape the women. He's only stalling for times so why is he destroying America in the process?

This is isn't gonna help those insider Barbie Doll senators win their New Year's election in Georgia.

how often He will lose He only play with time, unbelievable 👎👎

And this is the start of raising taxes in the near future. Spending unnecessary money on this BS now instead of using taxpayer dollars where it need to go. He wants a 3rd recount make him pay for it.

Cry Baby Sore Loser Mafia Boss Donald barbie doll ruining people's Thanksgiving Week in Georgia. Counting votes for the 3rd time in Georgia while the Crybaby man barbie plays the victim role.

Seriously didnt we just do this?

Just a waste of time and money

Recount with hand please because Trump won the election

Georgia: He’s not gonna give it up, is he?

Fake news

Only to lose again - Wig, it’s been 3 weeks ... you LOST !!!! We don’t want you !!!!

Let him come count in person by hand. Him alone. SMH!

So something important here. The tax payers of Georgia will pay the millions of dollars to do yet another recount! Not the GOP or realDonaldTrump! Those who vote for KLoeffler and Perduesenate should have to pay for this outrageous cost! FoxNews ganewsdaily newsga

Third time’s the charm? Yes, it will definitely be a charm to watch him lose again.

Here’s what Sidney Powell is saying about it:

And people are linig up for food everywhere. What a wast of money! And they pretend they are good Christians, are pro life and take pictures with the bible! You know what the bible says? The your stupud ego ( and your golf game!) are less important than your brother's hunger!!

As if 16 electoral votes will change anything lol

Man, Trump must REALLY enjoy losing. What is the point, other than to be an idiot and drag things out further? He’s lost. Twice.

Why? Who’s paying for this?

ⓘ 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴

Massive fraud will be exposed and Trump will prevail

Really

Actual news without spin would have said: Trump campaign requests Georgia recount. As written, it should be on the opinion page.

America, please give baby Trump a pacifier, his bottle of milk is done, it's over. Shaking the bottles multiple times will not produce more milk. Plus, his crying is affecting the whole world, including us here in England.

So Trump is going to humiliate himself by losing Georgia for a third time!🤡

Come on POTUS, you lost GA. You lost the election. Give up the ghost. It is finished. For once, accept defeat and bow out gracefully.

So the taxpayers have to pay again for this recount, that will be done by scanning machines, just to most likely have him demand another recount after Biden is declared the winner again, for the 3rd time. Enough is enough. Money that could be better served elsewhere.

2+2=4 RECOUNT 2+2=4 RECOUNT 2+2=4 RECOUNT 2+2= 7,000,000 I WIN!

😂 the republicans the real MVP's for pulling democracy skirt up in broad day 💪💪💯

And this network considers themselves a news source, yet they give their opinion right in the headline. They should really call themselves an opinion network. MEDIAISTHEENEMY

It will if they count just the legal ballots.

It saddens me to see a 74yr man act like he’s five. SMH

Another day another loss

Damn, how stupid you have to be lose Georgia three times in one election?

Gosh...🙄..those people will never get tired, obviously they have nothing to do..

🙄

Sounds like an election of the 3 stooges. Numbers do not lie. Counting again is ridiculous and just takes up time for Trump to do something dangerous to our democracy.

World leaders must unite and investigate Barack Obama and George soro they are after one world power

So .... can someone Re-Lose what they Re-Lost after losing it the first time? 😂 realDonaldTrump wants to be TRIPLE sure he’s a loser. 😂😂😂

But what's wrong with these guys?... thought Georgia just finished a hand recount!

How many friggin times are they going to count these damn ballots for this idiot?!

How many times is he allowed to request. A recount if it's already been recounted. Will they just keep doing it till it turns out way he wants. Sounds like he's just using delaying tactics

Stop that's enough!!!!!

The sore loser is going to lose again 😂😂😂

The Republican State officials have shown more courage and care for our democracy than ANY Republican Senator!! Trump has sued his own GOP ran state, Secretary of State and Governors all while they sit in total silence!! Absolutely disgusting!!!!

Stalling . He doesn't want a winner declared until he has a chance to flip the electoral college illegally.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” - Albert Einstein.

He’s DELIBERATELY delaying this process because the certification date is approaching. He’s trying to get it to the Supreme Court where he stacked the deck full of people he appointed so that they will side with him. That’s my opinion. He’s hateful.

How many recounts are going to be allowed before Trump acknowledges that he lost?

wasting taxpayer money 🙄

So what's the new timeline for GA? What's the deadline to complete the machine recount and then does that require re-certification? And what happens if THAT result gets contested? When does this all end?

Is Trump campaign paying for that?

How many times does he want to lose Georgia, and PA?

Get the money up front

So trump wants taxpayers to pay for a third recount meanwhile there are cars lined up at food banks and so many dying of covid 19. I am so grateful I don’t live in the United States but it breaks my heart to see what he is doing to your country 😢

Waste of time of time. January can’t come soon enough to have a real president. The trumptards and 🤡 leader need to go now..

AuditTheVote

Isn't this one cog of a grander plan... to miss the Dec14 deadline nationwide of electoral college vote certification? ... settled by legislatures assigning electors, not pop vote ... settled by state votes in the House where R states outnumber D states ... settled in SCOTUS

Fake news

How many times he wants to keep losing Georgia?

CNN only report fake news. Biden Laptop Matter. G-TV and G-NEWS only report the truth of virus and Biden Scandal.

Why do covid relief when you can do a third recount of a state you lost

Parents don’t let your spoiled kid always win at games.

GOP looks a poor shadow of itself to the rest of the democratic world

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️

Go ahead, recount so you can lose AGAIN, dummy!

When you become 'so tired of winning', you become addicted to losing. Might as well face it, you're addicted to loss...

You mean we get to see Trump lose 3 times? What’s not to like?

These ballot are going to become dog eared.

Now tell us how you really feel.

Again? I'm not sure the term 3rd time lucky will apply here for Trump.

He’s already admitted that he knows he lost, he is putting on a show and everybody’s watching. The media has given him his own new kind of reality show for the past 4 yrs and he loves it

I never said this before but l hate Trump. I don't like using the word hate but he is beyond contempt.

AlsisiOfficial RepBuddyCarter KingAbdullahII kingabdullahFDN LouisFarrakhan RichardGrenell LogCabinGOP TheRevAl

Didn’t they just do a recount?

So it’s ok with them that they will try and steal the election even though someone won it fair and square?

Can someone request a mental health check on this 🤡😷✌🏾

Again? What a waste of time.

Delaying the inevitable.... and Trump's legacy takes another record dive.

He sure is a sucker for punishment, that will then be the third time Georgia fires him.

Trump is wasting his time to try to steal the election. The results were certified yesterday. Joe Biden won Georgia fair and square!

Audit*

reporting stuff we all know - pretending it is the news because they add a bit of propaganda & gaslighting to it

I suspect that Trumps’ people somehow stole the ballots and know that the outcome will be different. This endless request of recounts is hugely suspicious

Isn't this going WAY beyond insanity at this point? Aren't American lives MORE important than trumps ego?

A recount that checks signatures, unlike the last one.

who is paying for all this nonsense, i am sure he is not using his own money, yerrrrrrrrrrr!!!!1

It’s just a distraction...follow the money trail

Why does he want to loose Georgia for a third time?

Subscribe to this YouTube Channel for Mathematics and Engineering Maths videos.

Third time's a charm, right Donnie? And all paid for by the Georgia taxpayer, of course Are Americans still take in by this spray-tanned proto-fascist grifter and his enablers in the Republican party? Jaysus 🤦‍♂️ YouLostGetOverIt DonaldTrump FakePOTUS

When Drumpf loses GA after another useless recount will Biden ask for one in a state he lost by a similar margin? You lost by thousands of votes, Drumpf. This ain’t the movie “Election” where Matthew Broderick tosses your winning votes out while coughing to cover the noise.

But wait!?! realDonaldTrump wants to use taxpayers 💰 to have a 3rd recount in 'Joe'-gia using the same Dominion voting machines that he alleges were created in Venezuela at the direction of Hugo Chavez and caused massive voter fraud in the 2020 election?!? TrumpCoupAttempt

Still burning as much taxpayer money as he can, and doing as much disruption and damage to democracy as possible, to boost his ego

Didnt they already have a fucking recount?

Yes! Lose AGAIN!

Time to watch him lose for the third time. Glorious.

That’s BS! This ridiculousness needs to end. He got his damn recount. He lost in a fair election. Twice in Georgia. This MF better be gone after 1/20/21.

Recount.

SHAMEFULPOLITICSo the CEOs of Twitter, Facebook Google and all Tech guys. CELEBRITIES, SPORTS PERSONNELS, MEDIA FOLKS You are all COWARDS.TAKES ALL OF YOU AND THE DEMOCRATS N SOME RINOS to agree to disagree with ONE MAN TRUMP..

If he likes he should Recount the Elections of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Bill Clinton, he will still be kicked out of the Whitehouse.

yesletsgowith ‘unlikely’.

Old fart is such a sore loser

What a waste of resources.

Sadly, not the reason he wants the recount. Part of the campaign to sew confusion.

Isn’t this also about the Senate election? Trying to find votes for Perdue or Loefler?

Lose a third time

Enough already!

As it's unlikely to change the POTUS results, is it possible this is really intended to possibly get Perdue to the 50% threshold? Or is it only the presidential votes that will be counted?🤔🤨

Is this the second or third time trump loses? Can someone remind me please?

So he can loose it again

Here's to Trump's 'Rereloose!'🍷

Taxpayer funded. realDonaldTrump is an asshole.

But why do we have to pay for it? I dont understand it🤔

Thinking this could by the misty comedy movie 🎥 of all time

Recount the recount 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

President cry baby

Oh, and by the way- we didn't forget about the key to the voting machines and a laptop that got stolen from an election storage warehouse- A MONTH BEFORE THE ELECTION!!!! CNN- COMMUNISTS NEWS NETWORK- FAKE NEWS 1💩💩🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬🖕

Another one?

Biden should recount some of the states that DT won. I don't believe so many Americans could have voted for him. Where have they been these last 4 years? How could they possible be happy with the way things are right now.

at this point...did he bet on the over/ under on the point spread biden gave him?! it wont change the score...so is it his thin skin pride on how much he lost by?! FknA!

Ugh

“Under Georgia law, the Trump campaign had two business days from Friday's certification to request the recount, which will be taxpayer-funded.” Have fun with that all taxpayers. This second recount is on our dime.

Some counters must be raking in overtime. He seems like trump is on a collision course. He may really be planning to abscond with his family.

People are so confused and complaining about a third recount!!! Guys, chill we still in 2020 remember There’s still a lot to come 😅

Didn’t they just to a recount? This guy is obsessed with losing.

Make him pay

This is like a weather forecast. Search for a website until the sun is shining. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpVirus

That is some dumb shit. Can someone wake me up on Jan 20, 2021 when this Republican version of One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest stops playing. TrumpCult BananaRepublicans

He is stalling, it is not about the election results. He needs more time to complete something else. What else is he working on quietly? This is a just a diversion.

So he wants to lose 3 times

Again. We aren’t doing multiple recounts.

Stop entertaining this guy!! Goodness! You lost 45 move it along!

Absolutely so wrong for him to do this again and again these poor people I feel so badly for them

SMH, I find it amazing, he has time to request recounts, and file fallacious lawsuits, and play golf, but no time to sign a executive order for a emergency stimulus package. POS bum !!!!

This is definitely a delay tactics. Trump is bent on total decimation of US democracy. Each time wasting on this rubbish will continue to dent US image and future message as supposed hegemon in the international system

AGAIN!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I don't think Trump is trying to recount the votes to see if he won. He is buying time for some other purpose. He might have something else coming as the certification due dates approach.

These multiple recounts are futile, and yet our tax dollars are paying for them. This is not ok, and though the covidiot-in-charge has a right to pursue, the numbers won't change. I want my tax dollars back and for him to get real, admit defeat, and vanish... like magic.

What a big scam! He’s using the campaign’s money to attack the judicial system after he destructed media sector. Russia played it very well... TrumpIsRussianTraitor

JUST. ACCEPT. DEFEAT. ALREADY.

You are about to hand over the presidency, why now

Trump has used up the $750 of taxes he's paid & now he's wasting the citizens' taxes. He is ridiculous.

Lots of Brainwashed people on here.

Smh

Howmany times does this MF wants to lose in Georgia 🤣😂

Hatred from CNN pure and simple their losing millions of Viewers.

moronic USA

One can't expect any less from a 73 year old spoiled brat who's bullied his way through life and isn't accustomed to rejection. It's the taxpayers money he's wasting, so he gives a damn. I hope the appeal is tossed out

Of course, now he will be 3time loserrrr & OUT YOU GOOOO HOEEE...LMFFAO

Why can't Trump just accept his defeat? He should be happy Joe Biden is the new US President of the United States. JoeBiden

Didn’t they just do the recount

Again, it’s a complete nonsense and he’s wasting more time with his obsessive compulsive behavior.

When will you all say NO to Trump? We the People keep waiting for GOP leadership to put our Constitution, your Oath of Office, and the Pledge of Allegiance (that you all have been reciting since Kindergarten) first. Country before Party is what keeps America strong.

Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies...

Unlikely, it will not change the outcome at all. GA did their due diligence on the count. This is becoming insane.

Well I hope they have a democrat in there to watch in case something tricky happens

And with taxpayer money!.Enough!!!!

So Biden can win again?!?

Twice humiliation. Geez, glutton for punishment.

WTF IS GOING ON?

Let him do it. We don’t mind watching him circle down the toilet. Is pretty entertaining really.

Make him prepay or you’ll never get paid!

As much as I love seeing Trump LOSE to Biden & Harris over & over realize we are footing the bill to defend these ya’ll. When do the courts demand taxpayer $$ portion back? State taxpayer $$ are used to defend these coup attempts in all cases & in most cases, we pay both sides!!!

Everyone needs to know this... RudyGiuliani , who leads the charge to overthrow the will of the people in this election, is under active FBI investigation for working with Russian intelligence. foxandfriends FoxNews TuckerCarlson IngrahamAngle LouDobbs seanhannity

Wtf again?! How selfish can he be?! Let it go, you lost! Can we move on as a nation already?!

Joe Biden projected, I felt relief for a moment. Realism set in mind. People say justice will prevail with Trump but POC know justice is for the powerful n connected. We know all this can go away. We are still on edge waiting to see what happens on January 20th.

But, the finding of fraud will!

Is the Trump Campaign paying ?

He’s pretty much guaranteeing Dem Senate wins.

This creature has totally lost it!!! He's the worst of the worst, not an inch of conscience is running through his small brain. Same is true for all his enablers. People are dying and they don't care. Karma is a bitch. We will not forget!

Yeah! Let’s watch realDonaldTrump lose a third time!

Projection is not news. Why do you keep reporting the future that hasn’t happened?

Oh really!? 🤣🤣🤣

I think this is his excuse to order McDonalds as his stress meals

Umm didn't they already do a recount

This man is not all there mentally 🤔🤔.

You're thieves period and you will be caught God time of waiting for your repentance is over now.

Better check that software, disconnect from the www and live stream every detail in 4k or he'll request it again. I hope you're able to certify in time since his campaign stated on the news their goal is to delay certification!

When my niece was little she would inventory her Halloween candy everyday. She never ate the candy. She didn’t like candy. But she inventoried it everyday. If her total came up short she would have a tantrum. I don’t know what made think about that.

3rd time is the charm. 3 losses equal a Certified Loss 🤣

Its flippin baby!!!

He just wants to drag out this process and cause further delays. Right now he is confusing the democracy.

Not only is it difficult for him to digest the fact that he lost the election, but he's the one who lost causing Georgia and Arizona to turn blue. Pure poetic justice.

Now is just sad

Remember when he said how tired we’d get of all the winning? Apparently, he can’t get enough of losing.

How is ANOTHER recount of Georgia justified? JoeBiden KamalaHarris BarackObama EricHolder BeschlossDC jmeacham jonathanalter tribelaw PreetBharara djrothkopf NormOrnstein

Fucking lemmings... is the worst

No, it's COMPLETELY unlikely. Georgia has already certified their results & no recount has ever changed more than 2,000 votes. Have a better headline.

He wants the trifecta of losses? Is he going for the Guinness book of pathetic losers spot?

Hope he has to pay the expenses of the recount

Want to see yourself lost the election again?

Waste of time.

God it's embarrassing every time I talk to my friends around the world I tell him I'm from Canada

Can we pass a law by which each recount that fails to change the result moves the new president’s inauguration up by one week?

Trump better pay out of his own pockets.

Trump and his allies are 2-34 in post-election court cases‼️ Who in their right mind would invest in such a losing streak❓ ElectionResults2020 President Elect JoeBiden VP Elect KamalaHarris 👏🇺🇸

Trump is going to spend the remaining 59 days in recounting and re-re-relose

exhaust all efforts ...

Trump should be required to pay the recount out of his own pocket to see how serious he is.

It's not going to change anything

Third time's the charm I guess
