The US State of Georgia has said
that the Presidential election ballots in the state will be recounted.
Electoral officials said on
Friday that the state, which is one of the battlegrounds, is headed to a
recount as counties wrapped up counting the remainder of their mail-in ballots.
Georgia Secretary of State,
Raffensberger, told reporters, “Right now Georgia remains too close to call.
Out of approximately 5 million votes cast we’ll have a margin of a few
thousand,” according to Washington Post.
“The focus for our office and for
the county election officials, for now, remains on making sure that every legal
vote is counted and recorded accurately.
“As we are closing in on a final
count, we can begin to look toward our next steps. With a margin that small,
there will be a recount in Georgia.”
Democrat Joe Biden is currently
leading within the vote margin that would allow a Republican Donald Trump to
request a recount under Georgia law.
Under Georgia state law, a margin
of 0.5 and below will be recounted if the losing candidate requests a recount
and must do so within two business days of the statewide certification of
results, set to take place by Nov. 20.
Biden overtook Trump in Georgia
Friday morning.
