Why Georgia Hand Recount is Compromised

Garland Favorito, co-founder of the election integrity watchdog group Voter GA, says he doesn't trust Georgia's recount. Mainly because the state used ARLO, an auditing software that he alleges is flawed.

"That program forces the county elections directors to put their information into the secretary of state system, rather than their own system. So what that means is that the secretary of state is going to tell the county what their results are, instead of the county telling the secretary of state with what their results are," said Favorito.

He said usually an audit is a bottom-up process. The counties hand count the ballots, and then report their totals to the state.

"This one is going to go from the state to the county, they will tell the counties what their audit results are. And that's a totally compromised way to conduct any kind of audit," said Favorito.

Another problem Garland Favorito pointed out is the secretary of state ordered the counties to certify their existing electronic totals if their hand count was within 0.5% difference.

Biden's margin over Trump is only 0.28% in Georgia.
