Gwinnett County Officials Uncertain How Many Ballots Left to Be Counted As Nation Awaits Georgia’s Results

Two days following the election, states are still tabulating votes and one of those states that are being focused on is Georgia where President Trump holds a lead by a thin margin at this point.

In Gwinnett County, where Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden holds an 18-point advantage, election officials said today that they are uncertain how many ballots are left to be counted.

According to Gwinnett County election supervisor Kristi Royston, “There’s not really a way I can say (how many ballots have not been reported in the results).”

Royston said when that might happen is uncertain, however, even though staff is being retained through Sunday, “I’m not going to commit to a timeline because if I put something out and it ends up not being right, we would have to correct it.”

Gwinnett County spokesman Joe Sorenson said, “We are hoping they do not have to work through Sunday on this.”

Sorenson added, “We believe they are making very good progress.”

According to the Gwinnett Daily Post, the results are awaiting the completion of adjudicating of some absentee ballots, contained within 3,200 batches of ballots, that got caught in what had initially been called a software glitch on Tuesday night.

Adjudication is needed only when there is an issue with the way a person filled out their ballot and a three-person adjudication panel made up of one Republican Party representative, one Democratic Party representative, and one county elections staff member review those ballots to try and determine a person’s intent.
