White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows speaks to the media at the White House in Washington, DC, ... [+] October 21, 2020. The White House and the Georgia Secretary of State's office did not respond to requests for comment, and a Cobb County official declined to comment because the state is handling the audit. Crucial Quote“Meadows met with Georgia Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs to discuss the audit process,” Ari Schaffer, Raffensperger’s press secretary, said in a statement to Forbes. “Both agreed that this was a great step to get to the truth once and for all.”TangentIn Georgia, election workers were required to verify all mail-in voters’ signatures before their ballots were counted. Ballots have already been separated from the envelopes containing voters’ signatures, per Georgia’s ballot secrecy law, so even if investigators discover some illegal voters, they can’t track down their ballots and toss them out.
