Georgia officials completed a recount of the state’s Nov. 3 presidential vote that showed President-elect Joe Biden keeping a narrower but still decisive lead, dealing another setback to President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results.
The Georgia secretary of state’s office said Biden had an advantage of 12,284 votes.
The hand recount of the state’s 5 million votes that began last Friday was ordered after the initial count found Biden ahead by 12,780 votes, or about 0.3 percentage points.
