While no additional counties in Georgia have found uncounted ballots, Gabriel Sterling, the statewide voting systems implementation manager in the Georgia Secretary of State's office, called the errors in Floyd County's process "a lot more dangerous" for the potential of losing votes.

That country, Sterling said Tuesday, "had 2,700 ballots that they just flat out didn't scan and but for this process, we likely may not have been able to find those, and that -- that is a huge problem."

"That is very different than the situation we saw in the other ones where they missed a card, and they just didn't do the reconciliation process," he added. "There wasn't a reconciliation process that was going to catch this thing in Floyd County, which made it a lot more dangerous in terms of losing potential votes."

Officials found uncounted ballots in Floyd, Fayette, Walton and Douglas counties. In Fayette, Walton and Douglas counties, officials found memory cards that were not uploaded properly.

In these four counties, the county boards of election must convene to re-certify their results to account for the uncounted ballots, so those results can then be what the state certifies. Sterling said that his understanding is that all of the county boards have "lined up" to do this, and that he hasn't heard of any issues.

Gabriel Sterling, the statewide voting systems implementation manager in the Georgia Secretary of State's office, said Tuesday afternoon that the counties have passed the 5 million vote count threshold for the physical hand tallying and only 21 counties are still working on the data entry part of the audit.

Of those 21 counties, six have single-digit deviations from their original results, so Sterling said it was possible that the counties just haven't hit the "finalize results" button in the audit system, but are basically done.

Since the morning press conference, no other counties have discovered a batch of uncounted ballots, but Sterling said that it "doesn't mean it can't happen between now and midnight tonight."

But absent that happening, according to Sterling, Biden still leads by 12,781 votes.

At the end of this press conference, Sterling said that he hopes that when this is through everyone -- regardless of party affiliation -- will "have faith in the outcome."

"I'm prayerful that we can get through this, and that we can find a way to have everybody at the end of the day -- Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, independent, socialist, whatever -- have faith in the outcome of the election regardless of how it came out," he said.

Sterling said that the goal is to release the results of the audit by noon Thursday. The state plans to upload all the audit results on a website.

Federal career staff, including at the Health and Human Services Department, have been prohibited from talking with Biden's transition team and are required to report any outreach, officials confirmed Wednesday.

According to the General Services Administration, that policy is in line with past transitions in which an incoming administration doesn't get access to the federal agencies and detailed briefings by staff until the GSA certifies a winner.

But according to one person familiar with the matter, the prohibition was also part of a deal struck this fall between White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and top Biden aide, Ted Kaufman, which has not been released publicly.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said the Trump administration specifically insisted that the Oct. 1 memorandum of understanding include a provision barring any contact between Biden's team and the nation's federal workforce until the GSA "ascertains" a winner.

That certification has been on hold as Trump refuses to concede and his politically appointed chief has agreed not to green light the transition.

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs called out Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, a close ally of Trump's, in a statement Wednesday afternoon for what she called his "deafening silence" on enforcing the integrity of the election.

"Now, I am calling on other leaders in this state, including the governor whose deafening silence has contributed to the growing unrest, to stand up for the truth," Hobbs wrote in the statement, which centered around the threats of violence she and her employees received since the election.

Ducey responded to Hobbs' statement in a press conference Wednesday afternoon by denouncing threats of violence against Hobbs as "completely unacceptable" -- but also making clear he wouldn't accept the results until legal challenges are resolved.

"I think I've gone out of my way before the election to talk about my confidence in Arizona's election system," Ducey said. "I've also said that we are going to count all the votes in Arizona. We are going to allow whatever legal challenges that come to be swiftly adjudicated inside the state of Arizona, and then I will respect the election results."

When ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked former New Jersey Governor and ABC News Contributor Chris Christie if it was time for Trump's challenges to the election results to end, he agreed.

"Yes. And here's the reason why the president has had an opportunity to access the courts," Christie said on ABC's "This Week" Sunday. "And I said to you -- you know, George, starting at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, if you've got the evidence of fraud, present it."

"What's happened here is quite frankly -- the conduct of the president's legal team has been a national embarrassment," he added.
