With just 12,771 votes separating President Donald Trump and challenger Joe Biden in Georgia, a recount is likely.

“We’re going to have a recount for president more than likely and people will see those outcomes stay essentially the same," Gabriel Sterling, the state’s voting system implementation manager, told reporters on Thursday afternoon.
