Georgia heading for recount as race too close to call, says top official

The contest in the vital state of Georgia is “too close to call” and heading for a recount, a top official has revealed.

In a move that automatically put even greater attention on to the outstanding counts in Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona, the Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger said the race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden had reached the degree of closeness officials could not call the state, with its 16 electoral votes.

The Biden campaign in particular - to which the Associated Press has awarded 264 electoral votes - may have been looking to the long term Republican stronghold for a quick win to take it over the 270 threshold required to secure the White House.

With officials in Georgia indicating that decision will not come any time soon, and with the possibility of course, the state could be won by Mr Trump, the campaign again turned its attention to the Mr Biden’s home state, Pennsylvania, which has 20 electoral votes.

“Right now, Georgia rates too close to call,” said Mr Raffensperger, who is a Republican. “Of approximately 5 million votes cast, we will have a margin of a few thousand.”

He added: “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.”

He said the next step would involve a recount of those votes, something that could take many days.

“Interest in our election, obviously goes far beyond Georgia's borders. The final tally in Georgia. At this point has huge implications for the entire country,” he said.

Nope, its not due to any baseless voter fraud. Recount can be called when the other candidate loses by 0.5% of the votes in that state. A recount like that if its around that range will cost trump about $2.5m to $3m per county count. He still owes states for his covid rallies, and trump will be in excess debt of over $400m next year, so i wonder if he will even pay for any recount.
