Georgia Releases Hand Recount Results, Affirming Biden's Lead

Georgia election officials have released a report on the hand tally recount of the presidential election, affirming that Joe Biden maintains his lead in the state.

The full hand recount of the state's 5 million presidential votes resulted in a narrowing of Biden's lead over President Trump in Georgia, but not nearly enough to change the result.

The recount, formally known as a risk-limiting audit, is intended to verify the contest's winner. As GPB's Stephen Fowler reported, four counties uncovered a few thousand previously uncounted votes, which subsequently cut into Biden's margin of victory.
