On today's 'BradCast':\xa0\xa0 Georgia's embattled Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced at a press conference Wednesday that the state will conduct a full, statewide hand-count in the Presidential race. As of airtime, Joe Biden leads Donald Trump in GA by more than 14,000 votes. Raffensperger had previously announced that the state would conduct a new pilot program for a post-election Risk-Limiting Audit (RLA), in which officials hand-count small, randomly-selected samples of ballots to determine whether results reported by computer-tabulators are accurate. For unknown reasons, Raffensperger today also declared that he selected the Presidential race for the RLA.\xa0 Election Integrity advocates have heavily criticized Raffensperger for forcing the state's voters to use an expensive, unverifiable, computerized Ballot-Marking Device system that can only confirm whether optical-scan tabulators tallied the ballots correctly, instead of choosing a cheaper, verifiable hand-marked paper ballot system, as recommended by cybersecurity and voting systems experts. Now that Trump appears to have lost in GA, many on the Right have suddenly decided that they are also critical of Raffensperger's computerized system. Voting systems expert EDDIE PEREZ, Global Director of Technology and Standards at the nonpartisan, nonprofit Open Source Election Technology (OSET) Institute, explains the confusing mess in Georgia, whether Raffensperger knows what he is doing or is carrying out 'election integrity theatre', and if either side will be satisfied with the ultimate result. Even if the statewide hand recount/RLA somehow flipped Georgia to Trump, Biden would still win the Electoral College. Also today:\xa0 28 Missouri election workers test positive for COVID.
