A recount of bal­lots in Georgia’s pres­i­den­tial race revealed more than 2,600 bal­lots in Floyd Coun­ty that were nev­er entered into the final tally.

Floyd Coun­ty Repub­li­can Par­ty Chair­man Luke Mar­tin says the bal­lots, once count­ed, will like­ly give Pres­i­dent Trump a rough­ly 800-vote bite into Demo­c­ra­t­ic pres­i­den­tial nom­i­nee Joe Biden’s rough­ly 14,000-vote lead, accord­ing to The Atlanta Jour­nal-Con­sti­tu­tion. Trump is cur­rent­ly lead­ing Biden in Floyd Coun­ty by a near­ly 43% mar­gin of difference.

The recov­ered votes may also help out GOP Sen. David Per­due, who is rough­ly 14,000 votes away from secur­ing 50% of the vote in his bid for reelec­tion and avoid­ing a runoff against Demo­c­ra­t­ic can­di­date Jon Ossoff.
