A hand count of random batches of votes in Georgia’s election for secretary of state has confirmed Republican Brad Raffensperger’s victory.

Georgia election officials hosted a dice roll to launch an audit of votes in last week's election for secretary of state.

Brad Raffensperger found that more than 1,634 people attempted to register to vote despite not being citizens.

On Friday, preliminary results of a machine recount of the Nov. 3 presidential election posted on the Georgia Secretary of State’s website showed Joe Biden won the state by less than 12,000 votes -- about 900 fewer than a hand count of the ballots found last month. As of 5:17 p.m. Thursday, all 159 Georgia counties had submitted their vote totals to the state. If there is even a one-vote difference following the rescanning of the ballots, the counties must recertify the election. In the unofficial tally of the recount early Friday evening, Biden had 865 fewer votes and the count for Trump remained the same as the previously certified results. State elections officials said any further review of the ballots would need to come through a court order.

This has to stop,” Sterling said. “…Death threats, physical threats, intimidation is too much. “Be the bigger man here and step in and tell your supporters to stop,” Sterling said. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler both issued statements Tuesday evening condemning violence but also criticizing election officials, according to news outlets. “Like many officials, as someone who has been the subject of threats, of course Senator Loeffler condemns violence of any kind.

ATLANTA – Democrat Joe Biden took a narrow lead over President Donald Trump in the battleground state of Georgia early Friday morning. State officials couldn’t immediately provide the number of uncured absentee ballots. Provisional lists are kept at the county level, and there are thousands outstanding statewide that county officials will decide on whether to count by Friday. Donald Trump Jr. spoke Thursday evening at an event in Atlanta, along with several Georgia elected officials and decried the process. Meanwhile, outside the State Farm Arena where the final Georgia votes are being counted, we have a growing crowd.
