The Trump campaign announced Saturday night that it’s requesting a recount in Georgia, a state that certified its results on Friday showing Joe Biden won the state.

The move follows a hand-count audit that reaffirmed the results of the machine tabulation were accurate. The Trump campaign says in the statement they filed for the recount on Saturday.

The campaign claims in the statement "without signature matching, this recount will be a sham" -- but the signature-matching process has already taken place. Under state law, the recount would use high-capacity scanners and would not be conducted by hand.

"We are focused on ensuring that every aspect of Georgia State Law and the U.S. Constitution are followed so that every legal vote is counted," the campaign said in a statement. "President Trump and his campaign continue to insist on an honest recount in Georgia, which has to include signature matching and other vital safeguards."

While the signatures were not matched during the hand audit, signatures were already matched twice because they are first verified upon receipt of the voter's application, and then again when the ballot is received.

Trump supporters rallied at the Georgia state Capitol on Saturday. Biden won the state by 12,284 votes following the audit, which is under the 0.5% of total votes necessary to request a recount. The Trump campaign had until Tuesday to request the recount.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania has rejected a lawsuit brought by the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania seeking to overturn the state's election results. In doing so, the judge offered a harsh rebuke to the Trump legal team for filing a suit without "factual proof."

U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Brann wrote in the opinion that he would not "disenfranchise almost seven million voters," as the Trump campaign had sought.

"One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption," Brann wrote. "That has not happened."

While exiting evening Mass at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Wilmington, Delaware, on Saturday, Biden responded to a shouted question from a member of the press pool by saying that all Americans should be able to attend religious service "safely" during the ongoing pandemic. 

"Mr. Biden, should all Americans, sir, be able to attend religious services during the pandemic?" a reporter asked Biden.

"Yes, safely," the president-elect responded. 

Biden did not respond to a follow-up question on whether that means all Americans should be able to attend indoor religious services like he is able to. 

The president-elect has consistently attended indoor church services near his Delaware home since the summer, usually with family and always wearing a mask.

However, it may become more difficult to do so when Gov. John Carney's new coronavirus restrictions take effect on Monday. They will limit indoor gatherings outside of the home to 30% of a venue's capacity and no more than 50 people. Gatherings inside the home will be limited to no more than 10 people, and outdoor gatherings are capped at 50 people but can be expanded to as many as 250 people with approval from the public health department.
