I see where Powell claims some counties did a machine recount instead of a hand recount audit. I will wait to see those, but I would offer that this may be for local races where a recount was done. That would have been done by machine, just like the recount that Trump requested after the certification in Georgia will be a machine recount.
The SoS office has this article regarding the hand recount audit and even has links for downloading the results. SoS of Georgia re: Hand Recount Audit
A “100% sample” doesn’t make sense as a concept. A sample is by definition not 100%. I digress.
A recount of all paper ballots without signature verification will not change the outcome, hence why the outcome...didn’t change (other than the 3k+ magical ballots found on those magical USB drives that are part of the “most secure election in US history”). GA’s mail-in ballot rejection rate is comically LOW; illegal paper ballots unquestionably exist (Sidney thinks at least 4,600). Simply sending fraudulent paper ballots through the system one more time is utterly pointless to anyone looking to conduct an honest, meaningful recount. But hey, everyone just shutup, because we did a recount!
Additionally, after reading a bunch about Dominion, part of the problem with it is no paper ballots are used. How then are votes cast on Dominion/Smartmatic systems recounted? They aren’t.
So, technically, is the SOS correct in saying all paper ballots were “recounted”? Yes.
But...
Were all votes cast via paper ballot? No.
Were all votes cast via paper ballot legal? No.
Were all paper ballots included in the recount verified as legal? No.
According to SOS’s definition of recount, it was achieved; according to common sense, the recount was nothing but a farce.
