Georgia election official going viral for his comment on finishing ballot count before Cocktail Party
The State of Georgia is getting closer to finishing counting its votes in the 2020 presidential election. Although the election took place Tuesday, a large number of states, including Georgia, are still finishing up counting ballots.
On Friday, Georgia elections official Gabriel Sterling provided the latest update. And he noted that the state wanted to get the counting done before going into the weekend. Not just because it wants it to be done, but also because of the huge upcoming SEC rivalry game between Georgia and Florida on Saturday.
“Our hope would be today, they could slip into tomorrow because, again, everybody’s exhausted,” Sterling said while speaking with the media. “It’s Friday, there’s a Georgia game tomorrow, it’s kind of a big one. We’ve got to focus on the really important things in this day sometime, similar to recovering to be prepared to dealing with what is now a vital thing for this country.”
Sterling is certainly right — this Florida-Georgia game is a big one. It’s always a heated rivalry matchup between these two SEC East programs, but the stakes are even higher this year. The Bulldogs are ranked No. 5 in the country, while the Gators are No. 8.
Whichever team wins will be in first place in the SEC East and has a strong chance to go on to play in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 19 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Georgia and Florida are set to kick off on Saturday at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

Considering Georgia has been at 99 percent for like 2 or 3 days that’ll be a hard no
Right? At 99% for 2 days but the vote swung by 4% in that time. Lol who are they fooling at this point.
Don’t start with the foolish conspiracies. Take it up with the court, not fake news. The comment was funny, leave it at that.
A lie that obvious would be transparent on both sides.
CNN fake news?
It was actually at 94% two days ago.
For each percentage one moves up, the other must move down. There are a lot less volunteers after the first day. It takes like two seconds of critical thinking or one minute of research (even less if youre the judges throwing out these ridiculous cases being brought up before them) to disparage these garbage conspiracies. The votes have never been all counted in a day in our history, this year is taking extra long bc of the pandemic and mass mail in votes. This is such elementary stuff here guys.
The vast majority of states are done. Georgia seems to have issues.
The other issue to consider is that Georgia’s rules for counting ballots and allowing military ballots to come in late, have been law for a while. As a former member of the Confederacy, those laws must be approved by the U.S. Dept. of Justice. They have until next Friday to certify the final count.
Gator roll did I hurt your feelings?
4% or .4%? I mean, what’s the *point*, right? RTR!
Oh please. If something fishy was going on how do you explain republicans doing great at the state level? People didn’t vote for Biden, they voted against Trump. Trump is complaining about mail-in ballots yet he is the one that told his supporters to vote in person instead and its biting him in the @$$ now.
Well all Trump supporters could vote in person because their above ground…not all Biden supporters can claim that
Biden supporters may not be above ground but our guy is about to be president. Trump is his own best friend and worst enemy all at the same time.
That’s something to be very proud of… cheating to put a brain dead idiot incapable of tying his own shoes in the white house…guess all you Biden voters like them politicians who spend their life in Washington and accomplish nothing while their there
Every trump supporter voted full red down the ticket. And every trump hater is so seething with hate if it was a legit vote they would also vote straight blue down the ticket. What you said if you had half a brain is actually evidence there is cheating happening.
Even Bubbles could see that.
He should have had better sense than to say that. And u wonder why people look down on southerners?? There’s exhibit 1
Looks like the sidekick on a TV sitcom.
Well all Trump supporters could vote in person because their above ground…not all Biden supporters can claim that
Classic
