URGENT alert-- GA candidates in tight races-@GaSecofState is making it impossible to obtain a discretionary recount.

2/ If you think that your race deserves additional scrutiny of a recount of some or all of the precincts, you can petition your bi-partisan Bd. of Elections (in most counties). But you must do so BEFORE the certification date.
Here's where it gets tricky...

3/ The SOS is rushing the process of county certification. Cty. certification deadline is 11/13. But SOS is pushing for no later than 11/9 to slam the door shut. 5 counties certified today!
The plan is to do it so fast that you can't analyze the data in time to ask.

5/ Reach out to your local board now if you think you will want a recount, and let them know that you need time to see and study the results before they certify.
They at least need to vote in a public meeting whether to honor your request, and their rationale.

6/ If the vote total is certified within 1/2% of your opponent, then you are guaranteed a recount IF you ask. But last minute adjustments may knock you out of a guaranteed recount, and you will have lost the window for optional recount.
So don't delay doing your analysis.
