Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Wednesday the state would begin a county-by-county hand audit of ballots in the presidential race that would be completed by Nov. 20.

The review comes as President-elect Joe 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.

Raffensperger said the deadline for certification is Nov. 20, so the audit must be done by then.

President Donald Trump’s 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, canvas and recount” all in one.

Raffensperger, a Republican, was criticized this week by fellow state Republican leaders, who called for his resignation for his handling of the election.

The Trump campaign hailed the decision in a Twitter message.

Trump and some of his supporters have asked for a recount in Georgia, alleging election, but have provided little evidence. In his press conference Wednesday, Raffensperger said that if anyone has evidence or suspects illegal voting, “bring it to us.”

A Georgia law states that only courts can order recounts, but the secretary of state was able to do so by using an already planned audit process. The election was initially supposed to be subject to a so-called risk-limiting audit, which typically starts with a limited sample of ballots, and widens to more only if mistakes are found. Because the margin in the presidential race is small, the sample size would have been so large that it made more sense to count all of the ballots, said Walter Jones, a spokesman for the office.

Decisions about how to staff the recount will be left to counties, but Jones said most will call back poll workers who just finished the count. It will also be up to counties to pay for it. The workers will check the printed version of each ballot and create a tally in front of observers from both campaigns.
