Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Wednesday that the state will conduct a full, by-hand recount of the presidential election ballots.
“With the margin being so close, it will require a full, by-hand recount in each county,” Raffensperger said during a news conference. “This will help build confidence. It will be an audit, a recount, and a recanvass all at once. It will be a heavy lift.”
