[November 7] ABC 7 News: Fulton County, GA had reporting error. Biden's lead now 7k instead of 4k in Georgia.

ABC 7 News reported that Fulton County, GA had a "reporting error" that caused Joe Biden's GA lead to go from 4,000 to 7,000 votes.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

The article that tweet is linking to doesn't mention an error at all.

EDIT: At least it's very unclear on how the count functioned.

 

[Deleted member 75819]

Yes, please do continue counting and recounting if this is how it'll go lol

 

[MinerArcaniner]

So much winning.

 

[EssBeeVee]

Thanks Trump

 

[Crayolan]

Is this saying that they missed 3000 votes or they accidentally gave him 3000 extra votes?

 

[Jedi2016]

So... it's entirely unclear which way the error went. Was it supposed to be 4K and they reported 7K? Or was it supposed to be 7K and they reported 4K, and now they've fixed it?

 

[PiranhaMan]

Trump still lost.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Ok someone needs a grammar lesson. Pretty sure it the OP

 

[Deleted member 24079]

The thread title made my heart skip a beat. Biden got 7k votes actually then?

 

[TaySan]

Nothing in the article itself mentions an error though?

 

[chimpsteaks]

If that error did happen, Biden almost definitely still wins Georgia, and 100% definitely still wins the presidency. It would just be an unfortunate error

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

The shit with title?

 

[CDX]

I think it's saying it was supposed to be 7K but was reported as only 4K and later found and corrected to 7K.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Deleted member 19293]

They added 3000 votes for Biden.

 

[StopMakingSense]

OP, fixing the error netted Biden 3k votes, not the opposite.

 

[henhowc]

Title is confusing...actually even after re-reading I'm not sure who the miscount favored lol

 

[Netherscourge]

The title should read "Reporting error showed Biden with 3K less votes than he actually had"

 

[WedgeX]

The Atlanta Journal Constitution puts Biden's lead at 9,000 about an hour later than that tweet. I feel like they'd have the most up to date numbers since they're on the ground.

Biden expands his narrow lead in Georgia
Joe Biden continues to expand his narrow lead over President Trump in Georgia.

After DeKalb County released additional results this evening, Biden extended his lead to 9,160 votes out of 4.98 million ballots counted so far.

Put me in the "please clarify to which direction the error was" camp

The article says the latter. That batch that took him to 4k to 7k was allegedly at least partially in mistake

Edit: Actually it is probably the other way around, I think I misunderstood the phrasing

 

[Deleted member 3812]

I've requested a mod to review the tweet and correct the thread title as what is being reported has confused me.

 

[meowdi gras]

The original mistake withheld ~3,000 votes which should've initially been awarded to Biden. They've now corrected that.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

OP that is a VERY awkward title lmao, it reads as the opposite of what happened

 

[Deleted member 5745]

Trumpers misreading and latching on to this in 3...2...1...

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Interesting. Then call GA for Biden.

 

[ClickyCal']

Either way he is likely going to get like 12-14k. Taking 3k out makes no difference.

edit-misleading title.

no. The corrected tally added 3k

 

[Neece]

My heart dropped at the thread title.

Glad that the error was that Biden got short changed, not the other way.

Donald Trump: "SEE!!! TOLD YOU ALL THEY STOLE OUR ELECTION AND ITS RIGGED!!!"
Person: "Sir...the error put him at less votes than he should of had..."
Donald Trump: "...You're fired!"
Person: "Just like you are starting January 20th, 2021"

 

[Deleted member 3812]

So, the corrected tally from Fulton County gave Biden 3,000 more votes?

 

[JEH]

Even after reading the article still not sure if he gained or lose 3k

 

[gdt]

Dangerously low level of clarity here lol

 

[chimpsteaks]

no. The corrected tally added 3k

I think you are right, now that I re-read it I see how I misunderstood what it said.

 

[henhowc]

I don't blame the op. The text in the article is ambiguous to me.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Wait. Actually I think it's unclear what the error was. I don't think the 3k is the error.

 

[mbpm]

Count every vote!

 

[jon bones]

hahhahaha i can't wait for the alt right chuds to see this and try to call rudy's hotline about election fraud lmaooo

 

[Anustart]

Georgia getting stormed by more Trump lawyers in 3,2,1......

 

[Netherscourge]

The updated vote from Fulton Friday night took Biden from an approx. 4,000 vote lead to approx. 7,000 vote lead. Roughly 5,000 votes were uploaded from the county.

- AFTER they updated the vote count (aka AFTER THEY FIXED THE REPORTING ERROR), Biden gained 3,000 votes.

 

[Steel]

This seems inaccurate as Biden's overall lead seems to be 9k now and was 7k previously?

 

[Lunatic]

Can't wait for more chants of Fraud when magats read this

 

[Deleted member 3812]

I have found this report from Georgia's SoS confirming an error from Fulton County:

 

[Transistor]

OK, so the title was updated, but on multiple reads of the article, it's very unclear whether it's saying Biden's lead increased or decreased, as well as what the issue was. With such unclear information, we're going to lock this thread

That being said, feel free to make a new thread if a more clear source presents itself.
