Meanwhile, the Democrat presidential candidate, Joe Biden, is leading President Donald Trump by 14,000 votes out of nearly 5 million votes counted in the state.
He said, “For the hand recount, election officers will work with the paper ballots in batches, dividing them into piles for each candidate. Then they will run the piles through machines to count the number of ballots for each candidate. The scanners will not read the data on the ballots.
“After results from the hand recount are certified, the losing campaign can then request another recount, which will be performed by machine.”
