Report by Green Party Observer
Paulding County started and completed their recount on December 15. There were three counting stations and three witnesses.
The three percent analysis resulted in no discrepancies, so the rest of the county was completed by machine.
The three witnesses here reported that they felt that the process was very professional in this county, and that the three percent was selected at random.
They were allowed to be a part of this process, they were allowed to make suggestions about which precincts to pick, and all the suggested names were put into a box and picked at random.
