The US state, Georgia will hold a vote recount due to a razor-thin margin of votes between the Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said, “With a margin that small there will be a recount.” He said that 4,169 votes remain to be counted and that some 8,000 military absentee ballots are still in the mail and will only be counted if they arrive by the end of the day.

In the current scenario of elections, democratic candidate Joe Biden is leading the battle. Georgia having 16 electoral votes could be the decider to elect the most powerful president of the world. A few hours ago, Trump was winning Georgia but now the situation has flipped with Biden leading by 1587 votes. The state has reported a 99 percent vote count. If the condition remains unchanged, Biden will be the 46th president of America.
