U.S. Follows Post-Election Developments in Georgia

The U.S. Department of State official said the Washington continues “to follow the post-election developments in Georgia, watching as the process of tabulation and reporting of the vote goes forward.”

“Timely tabulation of the votes is a very essential element of the process, and we have had serious concerns about the delays involved in providing a full and accurate vote count, so we’ve expressed our concerns publicly about some of these issues already, and we continue to follow them very, very carefully,” Richard Boucher, the U.S. Department of State Spokesman said at a news briefing on November 7.

He said the Georgian Central Election Commission needs to do everything possible to correct election-day errors now and during the tabulation of votes by throwing out egregious cases of fraud.

“They need to dispel rather than fuel concerns that people have about the aftermath of these elections,” he added.
