3. Some states have laws mandating a recount if the margin is small enough

However, Georgia still has outstanding mail in ballots and I think they have to be accepted and counted if they are postmarked Nov 3 or earlier and they are received today.

4. There is no automatic recount in Georgia

Unlike some states, Georgia does not automatically initiate a recount. However, if a candidate falls with a 0.5% margin, a recount can be requested.
