Trump campaign requests another Georgia recount with focus on "signature matching and other vital safeguards."

"The campaign filed the request on Saturday, according to a statement put out by the Trump campaign. On Friday, Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified Georgia’s election results, which gave Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden a lead of roughly 12,000 votes over President Donald Trump."

• President Trump's campaign requested another recount in Georgia on Saturday. The request emphasized the need for "signature matching and other vital safeguards."

• Both Senators Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA) -- who are in the January 5th run-off elections -- support the second recount.

For background

• After Georgia's hand recount was completed last week, Georgia certified the presidential election results and declared Joe Biden the winner. The state awards 16 Electoral College votes.

• As the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported, with the emphasis our own: "In all, the manual recount revealed nearly 6,000 additional votes in the presidential election. About 3,600 of them were for Trump and 2,200 were for Biden out of 5 million total votes cast."

• The issues were reportedly county-specific clerical errors (that is, human errors) -- rather than widespread issues and/or technical failures -- including "memory cards that hadn’t been loaded into election computers" and failing to "rescan [ballots] after replacing an optical scanner that had a problem."

Georgia county's Board of Elections fires chief elections clerk fired after more than 2,500 previously un-tallied ballots found during hand recount.

"Floyd County's Board of Elections voted Thursday to fire its executive director after elections officials discovered hundreds of ballots were left uncounted before the county's initial certification. The Secretary of State's Office initially asked for Floyd Chief of Elections Clerk [name removed] to step down after officials discovered the uncounted votes." (Fox 5 Atlanta)

• In Georgia, Floyd County's Board of Election voted to fire the Chief of Elections Clerk yesterday. The Georgia Secretary of State had previously called on him to step down.

• More than 2,600 previously un-tallied ballots were discovered in Floyd County during the recount. The Georgia Secretary of State's office said the issue was "Floyd County election officials failing to upload votes from a memory card in a ballot-scanning machine." The votes have since been tallied and the final vote counts adjusted.

• Earlier this week, the Floyd County GOP Chairman weighed in on the missing ballot issue: "It’s very concerning. But this doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue. I’m glad the audit revealed it, and it’s important that all votes are counted.”

Harvard CAPS-Harris poll: 56% of voters want Republicans to keep Senate majority.

"A majority of voters say they want Republicans to remain in control of the Senate in the new year after the Georgia runoff races, according to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris poll. Fifty-six percent of voters said they want a divided government with Republicans in control of the upper chamber, according to data released exclusively to The Hill." (The Hill)

• Ahead of the January 5th run-off elections that will determine which party holds the Senate majority next year, a new Harvard CAPS-Harris poll found 56% want Republicans to keep control of the Senate.

• For next year, the Senate is currently split 50 Republicans to 48 Democrats. The remaining two seats will be decided by run-off elections on January 5th in Georgia.
