Georgia recount confirms Biden victory over Trump, says state election official
Nov. 19 - A recount in the battleground state of Georgia has confirmed Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump, another blow to the president who continues to refuse to concede defeat two weeks after election day.
Officials in the southern state had announced they were recounting five million of the ballots cast, after a request from the Trump campaign, and after secretary of state Brad Raffensperger initially said the vote was “too close to call”.
Yet though officials spent six days recounting five million of the ballots, there had been widespread anticipation that Mr Biden would hold on to the narrow lead over Mr Trump, and secure the first victory in the Peach State for a Democratic contender since 1992.
As it is, reports suggested that Mr Biden’s lead over Mr Trump will be cut to 12,800 from the previous 14,000. This was because of the discovery of 2,500 ballots in Floyd County that had not been scanned. continue to read
Nov. 19 - President Donald Trump has reportedly abandoned hopes of disqualifying enough mail-in ballots to overturn the election result and is now attempting to delay final vote counts for long enough to throw President-elect Joe Biden's victory into doubt.
The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the Trump team was pinning its hopes on a bid to delay vote certification in key battleground states such as Pennsylvania. continue to read
Nov. 19 - Getting nowhere in the courts, President Donald Trump’s scattershot effort to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory is shifting toward obscure election boards that certify the vote as Trump and his allies seek to upend the electoral process, sow chaos and perpetuate unsubstantiated doubts about the count.
The battle is centered in the battleground states that sealed Biden’s win.
In Michigan, two Republican election officials in the state’s largest county initially refused to certify results despite no evidence of fraud, then backtracked and voted to certify and then on Wednesday flipped again and said they “remain opposed to certification.” Some Republicans have called on the GOP statewide canvassers to so the same. In Arizona, officials are balking at signing off on vote tallies in a rural county. continue to read
