Trump Gets Twice As Many Votes As Biden Out Of 2,600 Ballots Found In Georgia

President Donald Trump closed the gap on Democrat Joe Biden’s lead in Georgia on Monday by nearly 800 votes after edging out Biden by a nearly 2-1 ratio in a batch of 2,600 ballots that were discovered in Floyd County.

Gabriel Sterling, who oversaw the implementation of the new statewide election system for the state, said that the unofficial breakdown of ballots was 1,643 for Trump, 865 for Biden and 16 for Libertarian Jo Jorgensen. The mistake happened because election officials reportedly missed uploading a memory card containing the votes to a ballot counting machine.

NEW–@GabrielSterling just released the official vote breakdown from the ballots previously uncounted in Floyd County:
Trump–1,643
Biden–865
Jorgensen–16
TOTAL–2,524@FOX5Atlanta
