The recount in Georgia in the US presidential election on November 3 confirmed the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden. This was stated by the Secretary of State of the Southern state, Republican Brad Raffensperger, the Reuters agency wrote.
–
The recount was triggered after preliminary results showed that Biden was leading about 14,000 votes ahead of current President Donald Trump. Local election laws required this procedure because the difference between the two main candidates was less than 0.5 percent of the votes cast.
–
“The audit confirmed that the original machine counting accurately identified the winner of the election,” Raffensperger said on Thursday evening of local time (after midnight on Friday CET).
–
The manual recalculation ordered by the Republican Secretary of State began in Georgia last Friday. According to the AP agency, the majority of previously uncounted votes supported the current president Donald Trump (1,643), 865 votes were for his democratic challenger Joe Biden and 16 votes were given to libertarian Jo Jorgensen. The election commissioners have no idea how the votes could not be counted for the first time.
–
Trump protests the election results more than two weeks after the polls close, claiming that the vote was accompanied by fraud in favor of Biden. However, evidence for the president’s claims is not available.
–
According to calculations by the American and world media, Trump won 232 votes in the electorate, while Biden 306.
