All Eyes on Georgia: Recount Nears End and Runoff Politics Heat Up

All Eyes on Georgia: Recount Nears End and Runoff Politics Heat Up Read Transcript


- Meanwhile, the eyes ofWashington are turning to Georgia,

where voters will decidewho controls the Senate.

The president will campaignthere this weekend,

and as CBN's Heather Sells reports,

Republicans are mixed abouthow much he might help

or hurt Georgia's GOP Senate candidates.

- [Heather] As temperaturesdropped in Georgia this week,

state politics turned the heat up.

The Secretary of State says Georgia

will complete the machine recount

requested by the presidentby midnight Wednesday.

The original certified resultshowed Joe Biden winning

by less than 13,000 votes.

- Once this recount is complete,

everyone in Georgia will be able to have

even more confidence in theresults of our elections

despite the massiveamounts of misinformation

that is being spread by dishonest actors.

- [Heather] The recountcomes amidst a closer look

at vote spikes in Georgia,Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paulpointed out the new findings.

They come from an analysisof "New York Times" data

showing an unusually largenumber of Biden votes

coming in during the samefive-hour window on November 4th.

Another driver behindthe political battle,

the two Georgia races that will determine

which party controls the US Senate.

Democrats are trying to unseat incumbents

as Jon Ossoff takes onRepublican David Perdue

and Reverend Raphael Warnock

matches up against Kelly Loeffler.

But here's the plot twist.

Even as Democrats have praised

the Republican Secretaryof State for pushing back

against the president'sallegations of fraud,

Secretary Raffenspergeris now investigating

a voter registrationgroup that Warnock had led

before leaving in February.

Raffensperger says the New Georgia Project

sent voter registrationapplications to New York City,

a violation of state law.

But the president's ongoingcharges of voter fraud

could potentially work against the GOP.

Party leaders worry they couldturn moderate Republicans

away from the January runoffas well as Trump supporters

who see the system as hopelessly corrupt.

Trump will go to the Peach State

to campaign for Republican candidates,

hoping to head that off.
