The Georgia secretary of state certified the state's 2020 presidential election results Friday, officially declaring President-elect Joe Biden the winner of the state’s 16 electoral votes.
As reported by Fox News on Thursday, the results were determined after the state conducted an audit – involving a fully manual tally – of nearly 5 million votes cast by residents.
Georgia’s results on Friday showed Biden with a 0.25% lead over Trump, which is equal to about 12,670 votes.
During the 2016 election cycle, Trump defeated Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton by a margin of about 5% in Georgia.
