Georgia To Recount ALL Ballots In The State By Hand

With counting continuing in numerous counties throughout Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said that as of 3:00 p.m. on November 6th, there are approximately 8,400 military and overseas ballots (UOCAVA), and 14,200 provisional ballots outstanding. The Secretary then announced Wednesday morning that officials will conduct a recount by hand of all ballots cast in the presidential race amid President Trump’s re-election campaign questioning the accuracy of the results.

“This will help build confidence. It will be an audit, a recount and a re-canvas all at once,” Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told reporters. “It will be a heavy lift.”

Raffensberger said all 159 counties in Georgia will undergo the hand recount and he expects to have the recount completed by Nov. 20 which is the deadline for the state to certify the election results.

The race in Georgia hasn’t been called for either candidate but Joe Biden has a 14,111 vote lead in the state as of Tuesday Evening. The winner will take the state’s 16 Electoral College votes.
