The day after 2,600 unspoken votes were found in Floyd County, 2,755 unspoken votes appeared in Lafayette.
The state of Georgia, where Joe Biden has received about 14,000 more votes than Donald Trump after the first vote recount, is in the process of re-counting the five million votes by hand.
This is because the margin between the two candidates is so small that the Trump campaign is entitled to a recount.
During this work, poll workers in Floyd County found about 2,600 votes Monday that had not been counted before.
It happened again on Tuesday, in Fayette County, where 2,755 tacit votes were found, writes the AP news agency. The votes were physically cast in advance.

US President Donald Trump has not acknowledged electoral defeat after rival candidate Joe Biden was declared the winner of the US presidential election:
In all, more than 5,300 tacit votes have been found in the state and, according to Gabriel Sterling in the Minister of Administration’s office, together they have reduced Biden’s leadership by around 1,000 votes. Therefore, the result in the state will not be affected by the results of the unspoken votes, he says.
– We have not seen a great electoral fraud. We know there will be examples of illegal votes, but it will be a few hundred votes, not about 12,929 votes, he says.
Did you bring it with you? This is why Georgia is so important to Joe Biden
All counties in Georgia have until midnight Wednesday to count all votes in this year’s presidential election.
Earlier this month, Georgia Electoral General Richard Barron announced that one of his election officials took cover after threats:
If the margin between the two candidates is less than 0.5 percent after the recount, the losing party may request a recount. In that case, it will be done with scanner counters, writes AP.
The minister of state administration, Brad Raffensperger, is responsible for conducting the elections. The Trump campaign has come with allegations of voter fraud in the state, and several local Republicans have called for Raffensperger to be fired. He himself has rejected these accusations and has made it clear that he does not believe the result will change once the votes have been counted again.

In an interview with the Washington Post on Monday, he recounted the tense situation in the state after the presidential election. He says he experiences what he describes as pressure from supporters of the president and his allegations of voter fraud.
Here he accused, among other things, Trump’s prominent friend and senator Lindsey Graham of having suggested that he could possibly reject legal votes, charges that Graham described as ridiculous.
