The count of voters in Georgia who participated in the presidential election will depend on whether candidates request a recount, and the results are not expected to be known in the next few days.
And Georgia’s Foreign Minister Brad Ravensberger announced Thursday that the state is moving to count, after the gap between Democratic candidate Joe Biden and Republican President Donald Trump in this crucial state is drastically reduced.
The latest Associated Press data showed the candidates received about 49.4 percent of the vote after counting about 99 percent of the ballots, a difference of only about 2,000 votes in favor of Biden.
And the state in which Trump was applying at the beginning of the selection work, before the result changed in favor of his competitor, does not refer to the rules for the automatic counting process, “which means that the authorities do on their own, but allow candidates to request it if the margin is 0.5 percent or less.
Gabriel Stirling, director of implementation of the state voting system, said, according to US newspapers, that the small margin is roughly the size of the number of “high school” students.
He noted that candidates can request a recount after the election approval date (scheduled for Nov. 13) and if the margin in results is 0.5 percent or less, according to Fox News.
And American newspapers had expected the count to take two to three weeks, meaning the result could be known later this month.
Generally, a count is performed to ensure that the counting results are accurate the first time and to ensure that no errors occur.
The Associated Press says that under the law mentioned above, any of the candidates can submit a request for a recount. The Trump campaign is likely to make this request with its results now reversed, but if the candidate regains his leadership, the Biden campaign will take this step.
According to the Georgia Foreign Minister’s Office, the count will be done on high-speed scanners at the Central Elections Office in each province.
The staff will count the ballots manually and then place them in the scanning machine. If the results of the count are identical, this will mean that the equipment is accurate and then all the ballots will be rechecked.
The results of an Associated Press investigation indicate that there have been 31 counts statewide since 2000, of which only three have altered the results. The margin in these races was about 300 votes or less.
