Georgia Secretary of State: Results ‘Too Close to Call,’ ‘There Will Be a Recount’

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) announced Friday that the race in Georgia remains “too close to call” and said, regardless of the final results, there “will be a recount” due to the narrow margin between the two candidates.

“Right now Georgia remains too close to call. Out of approximately 5 million votes cast, we’ll have a margin of a few thousand,” Raffensperger announced Friday.

“The focus for our office and for the county election officials, for now, remains on making sure that every legal vote is counted and recorded accurately,” he continued, explaining that they are beginning to look toward their “next steps.”

“With a margin that small, there will be a recount in Georgia,” he said.

The secretary of state said that, as of 10 a.m., there remained a “little under” 5,500 votes in Gwinnett, Floyd, Cherokee, and DeKalb counties, in addition to 8,890 outstanding military ballots that will be counted if they were “returned by the close of business today”:
