Preliminary results of Forsyth County audit finds little has changed in election night results
News November 17, 2020
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — County election officials and volunteers — under the watchful eye of an army of Republican and Democratic Party monitors and the media — completed a required audit of the Nov. 3 presidential election Monday, two days prior to a state-imposed deadline, with little or no change in election night results
Election Director Mandi Smith said, “From what I’ve seen there were no discrepancies. We’re still working on paperwork and finalizing things now.”
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger gave Georgia county elections offices until Wednesday (Nov. 18) at 11:59 p.m. to complete the statewide hand recount of 5,000,000 votes. The initial results had former Vice President Joe Biden winning the state by 14,000 votes over President Donald Trump.
In one of the reddest of red counties, 79.24 percent of Forsyth County’s 163,984 registered voters cast ballots in the presidential election. President Donald Trump outpolled Joe Biden 85,122 to 42,203.
Carolyn Hall Fisher, 1st Vice President of the Georgia Republican Party praised the Forsyth County audit. “Forsyth County should be training all 158 other counties,” she said. “It is the most well-oiled machine I have ever seen. They are amazing.”
Forsyth County Republican Party Chairman Patrick Bell said he was unaware of any major corrections. “We didn’t have any Floyd County problems,” he said. Raffensperger’s office confirmed Monday the audit discovered the Floyd County elections office failed to count 2,600 votes on election night.

This is war! 300 Forsyth County conservatives gear up to fight for Loeffler and Perdue Senate Seats
News November 13, 2020
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. – The tiny Republican Party Headquarters was bursting at the seams Thursday evening until Party Chairman Patrick Bell abandoned the effort to squeeze 300 raucous Republicans into a room designed for maybe 75 and moved the meeting to the Lake Center parking lot.
They came out to voice their support and pledge they will spare no effort to elect Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in the Jan. 5 runoff election. If Perdue and Loeffler win, the U.S. Senate will maintain control of the Senate.
For Republicans, it is a choice between defending America’s democracy and descending into socialism. It is that simple, they say. and it is a war.
Public Service Commissioner told the crowd, “What is important tonight is that Georgia, Georgia, Georgia will determine the outcome of this election.”
Carter Patterson, a co-chair of the David Perdue campaign said, “The nation has its eyes on us tonight. He encouraged Republicans who have friends living outside the state to contact them and have them call other friends who live in Georgia to get them to vote.
But the harshest rhetoric came from Carolyn Hall Fisher, First Vice Chair of the Georgia GOP, who excoriated the leftist agenda. “This is communism. I don’t care what they tell you. Don’t accept this. They have been wanting to take our freedoms away from us for years. They have wanted to do it and they have done it bit by bit by bit. We will not stand for this anymore. If, after the recount, Joe Biden is declared fair and square President of the United States, we will not unite with communists and socialists. I will not go to my grave having this country as a socialist country.”
Bobby Donnelly called on Republicans to donate to the Loeffler and Perdue campaigns at
