Georgia’s chief election official announced Wednesday that the state will conduct a recount by hand of every ballot cast in the presidential race.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, said that he would designate the presidential contest as the race to undergo a “risk-limiting audit,” an election verification procedure that uses a statistical formula to determine how many electronically tabulated ballots need to be manually checked in order to rule out the possibility of fraud or errors.
Raffensperger has been under significant criticism from fellow Georgia Republicans in recent days. Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler both called on Raffensperger to resign, claiming without providing specific allegations that there were widespread irregularities in the election.
