So I wouldn't count on recount in WI.
GA, on the other hand, is doing it for free.

A loser, such as Trump, can request a recount if the margin is 0.5% or less. The state pays for it. However, those are machine recounts, NOT hand recounts.

The hand recount in Georgia is being done in the hope that there are enough errors so Trump can claim fraud. There’s also the nefarious possibility that votes can be “found” aka added to the count to give Trump the win. We’ll see.
