The margin in GA is 14,093 (2,471,952 v 2,457,859) which is less around 0.3%. The law in GA is that any candidate losing by less than 1% can request a recount. The GA Sec of State was going to conduct an audit of all 159 counties anyway just to ensure everything was on the up and up. He's decided that the best way to assure everybody of the accuracy is to do a complete hand count. Now that's just for the Presidential race, so it might not take that long. They'll do it by machine, by precinct, by county. Each discrepancy will have to be investigated.
