Democratic presidential challenger Joe Biden’s lead in Georgia has grown to 14,148 votes, with over 99 percent of votes counted, according to Decision Desk HQ.

As of early Wednesday, Biden was reported to have 2,471,882 votes, compared to President Donald Trump’s 2,457,734, representing a lead of 0.28 percentage points. Georgia state law permits candidates to request a recount if the margin is 0.5 percentage points or less. Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, said last week that, given the tight race, the state would hold a recount.
