Fourteen auditors began the manual recount of around 71,000 presidential ballots in Macon, Ga., on Friday, part of a statewide recount of about 5 million votes cast across Georgia.

Candidates in four Iowa races from this month's general election are asking for a recount. The closest of the four races has Democratic Incumbent state Senator Sarah Trone Garriott leading Republican Mark Hanson in Dallas County by just 24 votes. In Senate District 20, Democratic incumbent Nate Boulton trails Republican Mike Pike by 44 votes. In House District 98, Democratic incumbent Monica Kurth is 45 votes ahead of Republican Nathan Ramker. Recounts need to be completed by the December 2nd deadline for the Iowa Secretary of State to certify the results.
