The ongoing recount in Georgia revealed an extra 800 net votes for President Trump after it was discovered that 2600 votes in Floyd County were not counted the first time around:
.@ajc : "Georgia recount uncovers 2,600 new votes in presidential race"
Floyd County GOP says this could mean 800 net votes for Trump; Biden up more than 14,000 votes right now.

Alyssa Milano, however, read this as good news for Joe Biden and that “Georgia is now blue-er due to the recount”:

Math . . . how does it work?
Math is tough

So, not only is Milano wrong, this is EXACTLY the sort of thing President Trump has been warning about:
So someone "forgot" to upload a memory card containing nearly 3,000 votes in Floyd County GA that were overwhelmingly favorable to Trump?
Imagine if this same sort of forgetfulness is going on in larger counties as well… https://t.co/xiqDAryq7h

And it is such an “amazing blunder” that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger wants the county elections director to step down:
State elections official @GabrielSterling called the discovery of these untallied votes an “amazing blunder” but said it appears to be limited to Floyd County. He said the secretary of state has called for the county's elections official to resign. #gapol https://t.co/nupXFYRhb8
