Donald Trump called the Georgia recount “a joke” Wednesday morning on Twitter.

“The Georgia recount is a joke and is being done UNDER PROTEST. Even though thousands of fraudulent votes have been found, the real number is in matching signatures. Governor must open up the unconstitutional Consent Decree and call in the Legislature!” Mr Trump wrote.

Georgia did find more than 2,800 uncounted ballots, but elections officials said the result of counting those ballots did not flip the state’s results for Mr Trump.

One trove of found ballots – stored memory card located during an audit of voting machines – contained 2,755 votes. The card contained 1,577 votes for Mr Trump and 1,128 votes for Joe Biden. Though the find earned Mr Trump an additional 449 votes, it was not enough to cover Mr Biden’s nearly 14,000 vote lead.
