5. Recounts in Georgia 2020 election

Actually, there were two computer recounts and one hand recount.

2020 was the first use of Dominion hardware and software, so there were concerns about accuracy. As Secretary of State Raffensperger ordered the first machine recount as a verification / accuracy count. Then, because of first time use, he ordered the manual count of all ballots instead of a partial ballot manual count. Then Trump requested a recount based on the closeness of the votes.

If I recall correctly, all three counts were very close in totals, which was impressive over a nearly 5 million ballot count.
