BREAKING: Recount imminent in Georgia as race too close to call

"There will be a recount," Georgia's Secretary of State said in a press conference.

While Trump maintained a lead in the southern state for three days, that margin has tightened as more mail-in ballots from heavily Democrat cities have come in.

Georgia has 16 electoral votes, all of which will go to whoever wins the state.

Traditionally a Republican state, the Democrats made a large push to win over the state this election. Georgia has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since Bill Clinton's 1992 landslide victory against incumbent President George H.W. Bush.

A legal challenge to the vote count in Georgia was lodged by the Trump campaign alleging voter fraud but was summarily thrown out by a judge on Thursday. The judge did not provide any reason for throwing out the lawsuit.
