I disagree. Read the article at the link, and then look into Georgia’s recount laws. Georgia law prohibits a manual recount unless there are no working scanners or there’s a court order.

From the Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia
Rule 183-1-15-.03. Recount Procedure

Recount by Manual Hand Count
(a) A recount shall be conducted by manual hand count only:
1. As provided under Rule 183-1-15-.03(1)(c); or
2. Pursuant to a court order.

183-1-.03 (c)
(c) Prior to conducting a recount, the election superintendent shall test each ballot scanner to be used in the recount. A test deck shall be prepared to include at least 75 ballots marked by an electronic ballot marker and 25 absentee ballots marked by hand that were cast in the election to be recounted. The ballots shall be selected from at least 3 different precincts, if available. The selection of individual ballots from a precinct’s ballot container shall be conducted in a manner that selects ballots from throughout the ballot container. The test desk shall be tabulated by the ballot scanner or scanners to be used in the recount using one or more batches. A manual hand count of the test deck shall be made and compared to the electronic tabulation of the test deck. If the two counts do not match, the discrepancy shall be researched and additional tests may be run. If the discrepancy cannot be resolved so that the manual hand count and electronic tabulation of the test deck matches, the ballot scanner shall not be used in the recount. If, after testing all available ballot scanners, there are no ballot scanners authorized to be used in the recount, the recount shall be conducted by manual hand count. Upon completion of the test, the test deck ballots shall be returned to their original ballot containers.

You will have to be more specific on what you disagree with. Are you disagreeing that we counted 3 times in Georgia? We did. You originally posted to me that they did the recount with Dominion machines. Depends on which recount you are referencing, because they didn't use Dominion on the RLA hand count.

Also, they hand recounted all 100% of the ballots for the Presidential race. Note that this was to satisfy the legislated requirement that at least one race would undergo an RLA. The race chosen was the Presidential race and instead of doing a statistical sampling they decided to hand count all 100% of the paper ballots.

Let me know what it is you want me to garner from your post as a disagreement to what I posted. I'm not brushing you off, I just want to better engage with what it is you disagree with. Thanks,
