A spokesperson for the Georgia secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, said on Thursday it was hoped the state would have counted all votes by the end of the day. Gabriel Sterling stressed election directors and staff counting the votes were ‘not involved in voter fraud’ or ‘voter suppression’ and that every ballot would be counted in the extremely tight race.
About 60,000 votes were left to be counted, with Donald Trump leading by about 18,000 votes, or 0.4% of the total count
