Will a recount happen in GA?

Now the question: who will California’s new Senator be?
Yes.
Also: it kind of doesn’t matter.
Uh, 3 hours? It’s all a haze.
Posted, debunked. Move on.
Ya know, I realize I totally haven’t played this yet. Can it that bad?

Seems like it’s pretty pointless given that PA margin is beyond flipping.
But Trump might do it, because he’s an idiot.
Any OTHER candidate would simply concede and save millions of dollars.

Show your math? Not doubting you, just want to know that for myself beyond doubt.
Because he can count to 270?
Because Pennsylvania isn’t going to be close?
Oh, he’ll threaten, but someone will explain to him that it’s beyond a recount, and it will cost him money. And then he’ll shut up like he never said it.

That PA is beyond flipping?
Biden’s margin there is probably gonna be around 100k by the end of today.
A recount generally would only get, at best, maybe a few hundred votes.
And with PA going to Biden, Georgia doesn’t actually matter. Even if Trump won it, he’d still lose the election. It’s purely academic.
The thing I was explaining to my wife last night when she wondered why I was no longer worried about Trump and the Republicans stealing the election is that the scenarios that would have opened the door to shenanigans were those where the outcome depended on razor thin margins in one or two key states. It’s obvious that Trump would do anything to steal this election but as it stands now, Biden will have enough of a commanding lead that there is no path to 270 for them even with shenanigans. The bullet was there but we dodged it.

GA will pay for a recount when the election is close, so of course he will request it.
