According to Georgia law, a candidate can request a recount if the race's margin of victory is less than or equal to half a percentage point.

n. After results showed Biden beating Trump by 12,670 votes, or 0.25 percent, the president's team requested a recount of the more than 5 million votes cast. The recount yet again affirmed Biden's win, though Trump gained about 1,300 votes in the process.

While a candidate can call for a recount if the margin of victory is 0.5 percent or less, the process doesn't begin immediately. Under state law, Georgia has to certify the results of the election before a recount can take place. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has until January 22 to certify. Republicans need at least one incumbent senator to win reelection in order to have a one-seat majority. If Ossoff is declared the winner, he and Warnock would bring party control of the Senate to a 50-50 split. Vice President-electVoters go to the polls on January 5 in Atlanta during the Georgia Senate runoff elections. The state's unprecedented twin runoffs will determine which party has majority control of the U.S. Senate.

What needs to happen is the democrats need to stop cheating late at night
