Democratic candidate in the United States Presidential election, Joe Biden has won the vote recount in Georgia.
According to BBC reports, the former Vice President beat President Donald Trump by 12,284 votes, according to the audit required by state law.
The recount found the error rate was a maximum of 0.73 percent and that Biden’s gap of victory over Trump remained at under 0.5 percent.
Biden had said Trump knew he was not going to win and had shown “incredible irresponsibility”.
The Democrat’s margin in overall votes in the November 3 poll exceeds 5.9 million.
The former Senator’s triumph by the US Electoral College system is projected to be 306 to 232.
Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, insisted that the hand audit of ballots did not favour Biden.
In a statement on Thursday, the Republican said Georgia’s historic first statewide audit reaffirmed that the state’s new secure paper ballot voting system accurately counted and reported results.
“This is a credit to the hard work of our county and local elections officials who moved quickly to uperiodomplete such a momentous task in a short period”, Raffensberger noted.
The General Services Administration (GSA) is yet to recognize Biden as the President-elect.
