The 2020 presidential race in Georgia will undergo a hand recount due to a narrow margin. This process, which includes an audit and recanvass, aims to build confidence in the election results. As of the latest count, Joe Biden leads Donald Trump by approximately 14,000 votes. Typically, recounts use machines, but this decision follows the Trump campaign's demand for a hand count amid unproven claims of voter irregularities. The recount is set to begin soon and is expected to conclude by November 20th, the state certification deadline.
