Found in the audit, about 2600 votes were not uploaded from a memory card in the machine, a net +800 change for Trump when counted.
Before Georgia went back to paper ballots, this is the sort of thing that could happen all the time without detection. And likely did, judging from the reaction.
Both GOP Senate candidates in the runoff have declared that the Georgia Secretary of State should resign, when by all accounts he ran a much improved election, fixing the problems of the June debacle. Why resign? The subtext is obvious: You let Trump lose and forced Purdue into a runoff. Unacceptable!
Georgia elections are fascinating because of the state's swing potential, plus the extreme contrasts within the state. Their election apparatus has shown many signs of being easily gamed, and perhaps for that reason they've gradually started to clean it up, but the process is not without its dangers.
Look for the legislature to study the issue and pass a set of "reforms", the effect of which is to make voting surgically less convenient, all in the name of improving the process and "safeguarding" Democracy.
