So probably not, particularly for the large urban counties. The count has already been certified so I’m not sure what the point of the this.

as is his right because of how close the race was. Far as I know, none of the Senate candidates has requested a recount - so those races are not in play.

What is fishy about it?

The law grants the candidate a recount when the difference is less than .5%
The difference was half that.
(They already did a voluntary hand tally that essentially matched the first count, aside from the memory cards not initially counted)
Trump is entitled to a recount.
Trump requested a recount.


If they had done anything other than grant the recount, it would not only have been fishy, but illegal.

situation is unnecessary. Tell me why trump needs another recount when the State of Georgia has already finished one. Ridiculous! P resident Elect Joe Biden is entitled to an easy transition, but that is not happening, thanks to trump. So now because he is still in a block the vote mode, I guess it is okay to yield to his wishes.

None of the recounts or audits have changed the numbers.
