Signatures for absentee ballots cast in Georgia’s general election need to be audited, several Republican state senators emphasized during a Dec. 3 committee hearing on election issues.

While the state performed a hand recount of the presidential race, it didn’t include signature verification. Currently, former Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by some 12,000 votes.
