Harrison Floyd, a co-defendant of former President Donald Trump, has launched a bid to personally recount 528,777 ballots from Georgia’s Fulton County, cast during the 2020 presidential election. This move aims to substantiate claims of election fraud and challenge the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s victory.
The recount request, reported by Newsweek on Friday, May 24, comes amidst ongoing legal battles and persistent allegations of electoral misconduct following the hotly contested 2020 election.
Represented by attorney Chris Kachouroff, Floyd presented his case before Judge Scott McAfee in a November hearing, stressing the importance of uncovering potential irregularities in the electoral process.

Kachouroff asserted before Judge McAfee, “They all knew, the DA says, that Trump lost the election. So if it turns out that Trump won, I think it’s pretty relevant that we get this information so we can prove that.”
The call for a personal recount highlights the deep divisions lingering from the 2020 election, with Trump and his supporters maintaining allegations of widespread voter fraud despite multiple legal challenges and numerous recounts reaffirming Biden’s victory.
Fulton County has been a focal point of controversy regarding its ballot handling and adherence to electoral protocols, intensifying calls for transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
However, legal experts caution that Floyd’s recount request faces significant challenges, including logistical complexities and previous audits showing no evidence of widespread fraud altering the election outcome.
Despite these obstacles, Floyd’s pursuit of truth resonates with many Americans concerned about the integrity of the 2020 election. For Trump and his supporters, the recount represents a final effort to challenge Biden’s presidency and uphold their allegiance to the former president.
As legal proceedings continue and the debate over election integrity persists, the outcome of Floyd’s recount bid will have far-reaching implications, testing the resilience of America’s democratic institutions and shaping perceptions of one of the most contentious elections in recent memory.
