Georgia certifies Biden win following recount as Sidney Powell's efforts to 'release the Kraken' sink

Georgia election officials on Monday certified the results of the state's presidential race after a recount requested by President Trump found his Democratic rival Joe Biden had won the once reliably red state.

"We have now counted legally cast ballots three times, and the results remain unchanged," Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said during a morning news conference.

State law allows a losing candidate to ask for a recount if the margin between the candidates is less than 0.5%.

Trump asked for a recount after the first set of results showed Biden leading by a margin of 12,670 votes or 0.25% of the 5 million votes cast in Georgia.
