ATLANTA (AGN.News) – With exactly 2 months to the January 20, 2021 inauguration, Joe Biden wins Georgia. On November 20, 2020 Georgia hand count of votes affirms Biden’s narrow victory over Trump with 12,284 votes with over 5,000,000 votes cast, according to the Georgia secretary of state’s office.
The results affirm Democrat Joe Biden’s lead over Republican President Donald Trump. President-Elect Joe Biden went into the recount with a margin of 13,558 votes, according to votes tallied by NBC News.
Previously uncounted ballots discovered during the hand count reduced the margin to 12,284 votes. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a statement Thursday, November 19th, that the results reaffirm the integrity of the state’s election process.
“The recount process simply reaffirmed what we already knew: Georgia voters selected Joe Biden to be their next president,” said Jaclyn Rothenberg, Georgia communications director for the Biden campaign. “We are grateful to the election officials, volunteers and workers for working overtime and under unprecedented circumstances to complete this recount as the utmost form of public service.”
Trump’s campaign said in a statement that the recount went as it expected because it “recounted all of the illegal ballots that had been included in the total.”
In addition to Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada, Joe Biden wins Georgia. This gives President-Elect Joe Biden 306 Electoral College votes and President Donald Trump 232 out of 538, needing only 270 to win.
