CNN — Georgia has finished its statewide audit of the razor-thin presidential race, confirming that President-elect Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump, according to a news release from the Secretary of State's office.

Biden beat Trump by 12,284 votes, according to the final results from the audit. This is a slight drop for Biden compared to the pre-audit results.

Officials have said repeatedly that the audit confirmed there was no widespread fraud or irregularities in the election.

Georgia is required under state law to certify its election results by Friday.
"Georgia's historic first statewide audit reaffirmed that the state's new secure paper ballot voting system accurately counted and reported results," Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, said in a statement.

"This is a credit to the hard work of our county and local elections officials who moved quickly to undertake and complete such a momentous task in a short period of time."

There is no state where the sting of Trump's loss has been more acutely felt than in the red state of Georgia.

The suburban revolt against Trump in the suburbs surrounding Atlanta, paired with huge turnout among Black voters, powered Biden's gains in the state, building on years of intensive Democratic organizing to register voters.

The Biden campaign's communications director for Georgia, Jaclyn Rothenberg, said in a statement Thursday evening that the recount outcome, "simply reaffirmed what we already knew: Georgia voters selected Joe Biden to be their next president."

"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," she said.

During the weeklong recount, officials in four counties found new batches of votes that weren't counted on Election Day or weren't properly transmitted to the Secretary of State for tallying.

In all, more than 5,800 uncounted votes were uncovered, netting nearly 1,400 new votes for Trump, who falsely said the discoveries were proof of wrongdoing. State officials stressed that these were accidents caused by human error and not indicative of fraud or vote-rigging.

Raffensperger's office called the difference between the audit results and the original machine-counted results "well within the expected margin of human error that occurs when hand-counting ballots."

Ben Adida -- the executive director of the election security nonprofit VotingWorks, which assisted Georgia with the audit -- said in a statement, "Georgia's first statewide audit successfully confirmed the winner of the chosen contest and should give voters increased confidence in the results."

As expected!

Every sane people knows trump is just making noise. He actually succeeded in bringing shame on the us

What are they still counting? I thought they should be counting there losses

PDP is dead. Wike killed it with selfishness. Umahi to the rescue.

Trump is making mockery of the US electioneering system. Someone should tell him to accept the result and do the right thing.

Mr Trump getting silly day by day, him think say he get craze, as much as I like him to have won in the first place, he should just concedes defeat and let sleeping dog lie.

Although I was supporting trump..he has tried,let him go and rest..period

Okay

It was just a recount and not an audit.
They're two different things

Trump they have tried for you. Be honourable for once and accept defeat.
When you give something sacred to someone to maintain and he starts misusing it, you take it back.
If not that Mugabe is far more intelligent, I would have compared Trump to him

Where is that ritualist Modaforka fake pastor that always run his mouth here on Nairaland, Righteousness89 or what is his name?, come here and ask your nonsense god what went wrong here,.. Trump has been anointed, he's the angel Gabriel reincarnates blah blah blah, weyrey dey disguise.

America is having a Coup right now. Mark this

Wahala for who no post "I WON THE ELECTION!!!"

It was a recount.

FFK and ipob yweets deceived Trump

Our Nigeria Christian brothers and sisters, what do you have to say

Trump doesn't understand the difference between running a government and running his private business. This is one of the major reasons a greater number of Americans voted against him, despite the huge gains in the economy and job creation.

Johnnyessence come and carry your Messiah...

somebody should tell righteousness89 to stop starving himself In the name of fasting in oda to change result in favor of Trump.He better wake up from trance

Trump can now say congratulations abi

So Righteousness89, when the TRUMpet sounding.

Pastor Chris, FFK and our nairaland online scammer pastor Righteousness89 need to intensify their fasting and prayers for Trump to reclaim their illusionary victory. The chance is getting slimmer day in day out.

Bunch of confused lunatics who forgot GOD IS SUFFICIENT TO FIGHT HIS COURSE IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO WINS US ELECTION.

God rejected Saul(Trump).He picked/anointed King David(Biden) instead .Cc: Righteousness89,Hope I correct

You are still dreaming..

Trump has been defeated long time ago, he is just making a mess of himself for now.

Meanwhile, there's actually a collective agenda to bury PDP.
