33:40Now Playing(Nov. 12) Watch live as Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger holds a news conference in Atlanta, on Thursday, November 12, 2020.
Raffensperger said Wednesday the state would begin a county-by-county hand recount of ballots for President-elect Joe Biden and President Donald Trump that would be completed by Nov. 20.
The review comes as Biden currently leads by a slim margin of about 14,000 votes in the state, where some 5 million residents voted, the secretary of state said. The recount only applies to the presidential race and will not affect the state’s two Senate races, which are headed to a January runoff that will decide which party holds the majority.
Raffensperger said the audit must be completed by the Nov. 20 deadline for certification, though Georgia law allows a superior court judge to move the deadline if needed.
The Trump campaign said Wednesday on a call with reporters that it had found widespread voting irregularities but cited little evidence. Earlier, it issued a list of four dead people in the state whose names might have been on ballots cast.
Representative Doug Collins, a Georgia Republican, said state residents “were denied their right to vote” and that the campaign was “investigating issues of ballot harvesting and signature matching.”
Raffensperger called the review an “audit, canvass and recount” all in one.
