Iran Press/ America: Georgia officials said Friday the state is headed to a recount for the presidential election as counties wrapped up counting the remainder of their absentee ballots.
"The focus for our office and for the county elections officials, for now, remains on making sure that every legal vote is counted and recorded accurately," Raffensperger said.
"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," he predicted.
In Georgia, a recount can only be requested after the state has undergone a "risk-limiting audit" and a state certification of the vote, according to Georgia elections official Gabriel Sterling. As of now, the state certification process is set to be finalized by Nov. 20.
