What is a hand recount? How long will it take? Here's what to know about Georgia's recount of presidential votes

With only about 14,000 votes separating President-elect Joe Biden and President Donald Trump in battleground Georgia, the state is heading into a recount of presidential votes.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who is a Republican, said on Wednesday the state will recount presidential election results in each county by hand due to the close margin.

On Wednesday, Biden was up by less than 0.3% of the nearly 5 million votes cast in Georgia. On Saturday, he was declared winner of the presidential election as some states continued to count votes, largely because his margins in several states are too wide for Trump to overcome.
