    Joe Biden wins presidential race in Georgia, defeating Trump

    The presidential race in Georgia was called for President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday night, officially awarding him the state's 16 electoral votes and widening his lead over President Trump.

    The results were determined after the state conducted an audit of nearly 5 million votes cast by residents.

    Several thousand previously unreported ballots were discovered in the process, but it was not enough to shift the vote in Trump's favor.

    In a statement Thursday, Jaclyn Rothenberg, Georgia communications director for 'Biden for President', said the recount process simply reaffirmed that voters in the state chose Biden to be their next president.

    "We are grateful to the election officials, volunteers and workers for working overtime and under unprecedented circumstances to complete this recount, as the utmost form of public service," Rothenberg said.

    Biden has 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232, though the president has yet to concede the race and has repeated unfounded claims about voter fraud.

    Trump's campaign also launched several lawsuits challenging the voting systems and processes in a number of key battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

    During the 2016 election cycle, Trump defeated Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton by a margin of about 5%

    The last time the state voted for a Democratic candidate in the presidential election was 1992, when former President Bill Clinton won.

    Meanwhile, the state's two Senate seats will be decided in runoffs early next year – as Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, the Republican incumbents, defend their seats against Democratic challengers the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, respectively.

    These two races will determine whether the GOP maintains its majority in the chamber.

    Trump Campaign Fact-Checks the Media: Georgia Has Not Certified Biden's Win

    On Thursday night, Georgia completed its hand recount of the ballots in the 2020 election, finding that Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by 12,284 votes. The state has yet to certify the results, however. The Trump campaign contested the recount, arguing that Georgia officials still wrongfully counted illegal ballots.

    "Georgia's historic first statewide audit reaffirmed that the state's new secure paper ballot voting system accurately counted and reported results," Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R-Ga.) said in a statement. "This is a credit to the hard work of our county and local elections officials who moved quickly to undertake and complete such a momentous task in a short period of time."

    Jenna Ellis, senior legal advisor to the Trump campaign, fact-checked the legacy media on the Georgia news.

    "Headlines are already falsely reporting that Joe Biden is declared the winner in Georgia. Sorry, media, that's not how it works. The State of Georgia has not certified its results, and it should not," Ellis said in a statement.

    "This so-called hand recount went exactly as we expected because Georgia simply recounted all of the illegal ballots that had been included in the total," she argued. "We continue to demand that Georgia conduct an honest recount, which includes signature matching. We intend to pursue all legal options to ensure that only legal ballots are counted."

    Ellis is correct that Georgia has not certified its results, but the Associated Press did call the race for Biden. Her fact-check boils down to the question of what it means for Biden to be "declared the winner."

    Not much point in a recount if you're going to count what is considered the illegal ballots too.
