Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Friday that "there will be a recount in Georgia" after vote totals show a razor-thin margin between President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the battleground state.
Raffensperger said the state -- which has 16 electoral votes and would give Biden the boost he needs to surpass 270 and clear the path to the White House -- is "too close to call."

Gabriel Sterling, the voting system implementation manager for Raffensperger, added that the small number of votes is comparable to "a margin of less than a large high school" and emphasized that candidates can only request a recount until after the election is certified and if the results are within 0.5% of each other.
Officials said they expect to know the result by the end of November.
