that organizations like AP and Fox have stuck by their call on AZ, which has been soft, why not Georgia?

GA, while a small lead, is not likely to change. Even with a recount. It should be called.

is less than 0.5% of the total votes cast for the office. The margin is up to 0.99%.

Kemp and the SoS have been pushing for a recount, but it looks like Biden has passed the automatic recount threshold.

So embarrassing. 🤦?♀️ It looks like GA is stuck with a recount, but from what I am reading in various places, no one but trumpers seem to think the outcome will change.
