Georgia Officials Say There Will Be a Recount

Georgia state officials said the state is headed to a recount for the presidential election as counties wrapped up counting the remainder of their absentee ballots, the Washington Post reports.

Said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger: “Right now, Georgia remains too close to call. Out of approximately 5 million votes cast, we’ll have a margin of a few thousand. 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. As we are closing in on a final count, we can begin to look toward our next steps. With a margin that small, there will be a recount in Georgia.”
