United States President-elect Joe Biden has officially been declared the winner in the state of Georgia, flipping the historically Republican-voting state for the Democratic Party for the first time in decades.

The Associated Press news agency said late on Thursday Biden had secured Georgia’s 16 Electoral College votes, stretching his lead to 306 Electoral College votes compared with US President Donald Trump’s 232.

The news agency declared Biden the winner of the tightly contested US presidential elections on November 7 after the former US vice president won key states Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin – but the state of Georgia had been too close to call.

The AP news agency’s victory call comes just after Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office announced a manual audit of the presidential contest results had confirmed Biden’s narrow lead over Trump.
