Word of Joe Biden remaining the winner was expected to come in on Thursday, Swedish time. But the message dragged on.
Today friday time passes to confirm the state’s election results.
Once the result is confirmed, Donald Trump has two days to appeal the result if he so wishes. This second recalculation would be carried out with machines, not by hand.
After the first invoice Joe Biden had won with 49.5 percent of the vote to Donald Trump’s 49.2 percent. A margin of about 14,056 votes.
This prompted Donald Trump’s re-election campaign to demand a recalculation.
According to the Georgia Elections Authority, a small number of votes that had previously been lost were found when votes are now recalculated by hand. A total of 5,800 votes were cast on a memory card, but were never transferred to the computer where the votes were counted. Of these, an estimated 3,600 have gone to Trump and 2,200 to Biden.
It has been almost 30 years since Georgia voted for a Democratic presidential candidate when Bill Clinton won in 1992.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The president has stated, among other things, that the recalculation that is now being completed has not been performed safely. However, without having presented any evidence. Trump has also demanded that Raffensperger resign, something he has rejected.
Earlier on Thursday, the Trump campaign abandoned its attempts to have Michigan’s election challenged when campaign attorneys dropped a lawsuit. So far, the Trump campaign has failed to challenge the election results in several states.
On Tuesday, the four of them decided Wayne County, Michigan election officials to approve the election results. But then one of the two Republicans, Monica Palmer, announced that she and her colleague want to change, this after a brief telephone conversation with President Trump, write several US media.
According to the Washington Post, it is too late for Republicans to change because the decision with their signature has been sent to the Secretary of State.
In Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign has asked a judge to declare Donald Trump the winner, even though Biden won the state by 82,000 votes.
In Wisconsin, the Trump campaign has paid for a recalculation of votes in two municipalities, even though election officials said such a vote will likely lead to Biden getting a few more votes that can be added to the more than 20,600 votes he has won.
The conversion costs the Trump campaign the equivalent of approximately SEK 25 million, writes The Hill.
