Two years after the 2020 election was seemingly decided, a Pennsylvania county is set to recount votes in the races for president and state auditor in response to public requests.
The Lycoming County Board of Elections voted 2-1 in October to do a hand count of ballots to prove that the electronic tabulations were correct, and that recount will happen in just a few weeks, Penn Live reported Wednesday.
The report said roughly 5,000 Lycoming residents had petitioned the board to take this action.
While former President Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden by nearly 25,000 votes in the county, those clamoring for the recount, many of whom belong to the conservative Patriots group, want to learn whether the vote was accurate and free of fraud.
Biden won Pennsylvania by 80,555 votes, according to the official returns on the Department of State’s website.
The hand count will go through all of the 60,000 paper ballots cast in Lycoming County. They will be counted by up to 40 county employees on Jan. 9, Penn Live reported.
Board Commissioner Scott Metzger, who voted for the recount, said that “no one extra was being hired” to count votes.
No Need to Re-count !!! We all know TRUMP WON 2020 !!!!!
Yes, there is a need to count. Otherwise the cheating is just hearsay and opinion
