Another perspective on the "recount" language the Georgia Senate adopted: It would reduce the original machine counts for the main races to the same status as news media projections from exit polling. Helpful for getting an early idea of what's likely, but with zero influence on official results.

A full manual recount of the top two races triggered simply because of their position on the ballot is not a *recount* in any meaningful sense — it's *the count*, the way everyone knows from the get-go the votes will ultimately be counted.
