THE election results may not be known until December as Georgia announced it will recount the votes.
“With a margin that small, there will be a recount,” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said on Friday morning.
“The final tally in Georgia at this point has huge implications for the entire country,” he added.
As of Friday morning, Joe Biden held a lead of just 1,586 votes over Donald Trump in the Peach State, according to CNN.
Both candidates were tied at 49.4percent of votes.
Voting Systems Manager for the Secretary of State’s Office Gabriel Sterling said at a press conference before noon that there were around 4,169 ballots left to be counted.
Under Georgia law, recounts are not automatic – but can be requested by a candidate or the Constitutional Amendments Publication Board if the margin is less than 0.5percent.
A recount request must be made within two days of results being certified.❐
