10. Shutting up Killa Kon again

but throwing in some bothsideism re claims

[honest.abe]

8. But Perdue can request a recount which I suspect he will.

So we are probably heading there regardless.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. Then Perdue can pay for it.......

If Ossoff wins by more than 30,000 votes, a recount is not necessary because that would put him over the .05 recount percentage.

[honest.abe]

12. Perhaps that will persuade him to give it up.

Basically money down the toilet.

[honest.abe]

17. I just found out if the margin is 0.5 then no recount can be requested unless...

-- If there is a suspected error or discrepancy in the returns, an election official can ask for a recount.

or

-- If a candidate for federal or state office petitions the Secretary of State regarding a suspected error or discrepancy, the Secretary of State can ask for a recount.

15. When Ossoff goes up another tenth of a point, that's it.

His lead goes from .4% to .6%, outside of the margin for a recount (Ossoff gains a tenth and Perdue loses that tenth).
