The presidential race in Georgia, a state that typically votes GOP, was tight enough to trigger an automatic recount. There were some reports of voting irregularities in Fulton County, where a water main break put a hold on voting on election day.
The President has stated his confidence that a recount would lead to his taking the win in Georgia, and securing Georgia's 16 electoral votes.
Georgia will be a big presidential win, as it was the night of the Election!

Biden currently holds 49.5 percent of the vote with Trump's tally at 49.2 percent. There have been 31 recounts in Georgia since 2000, three of which resulted in a change from the initial outcome.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
