U.S. election: Georgia plans to re-certify election result after recount confirms Biden victory

Georgia's top elections official says his office plans to recertify the state's election results after a recount confirmed once again that Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump in the state.

Trump requested this recount, which is the third tally showing Biden won Georgia.

State law allows a losing candidate to request a recount if the margin between the candidates is within 0.5%. Results certified by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger last month showed that Biden led by a margin of 12,670 votes, or 0.25% of the roughly 5 million ballots cast.

An audit involving a hand count of the paper ballots also showed Biden won.
