Forget what this or that paper says.
The Superintendent said he intends to do a recount (I watched him say so live), but has not yet done so. He can do so on his own. But he can't / won't do it until the vote count is done. The odds of it changing the result is slim.
Who cares what news organizations say, anyway? This is the normal process, it is NOT a reality show. None of it is final until results are certified and the EV college meets and those results are certified by Congress in January. Meantime enjoy the apparent victory, and if you have spare energy, help us in Georgia get Warnock and Ossoff elected!! Thank you!!
"The superintendent, on his or her own motion or upon petition of any candidate or political party, may order the recount of ballots for a particular precinct or precincts, for one or more offices in which it shall appear that a discrepancy or error, although not apparent on the face of the returns, has been made. The recount shall be held at any time prior to the certification of the consolidated returns by the superintendent. Before the recount is held, the superintendent must give notice in writing to each candidate and the county chairman of each party or body affected by the recount. Each candidate may be present in person at the recount, or be represented by one person. Each political party or body may send two representatives to be present at the recount. If the recount shows the original count was in error, the returns and all papers being prepared by the superintendent shall be corrected accordingly.
Candidates for a federal or state office (including candidates for a state house or state senate office) may petition the Secretary of State for a recount when it appears there is an error or discrepancy in the election results. At his or her discretion, the Secretary of State may order a recount in the county, or counties, encompassing the district. "
