President Donald Trump has lost his lead in Georgia to his Democratic rival Joe Biden who is now heading the historically red state by 917 votes, officials said early Friday.
Biden has now won 49.39 % of votes in Georgia compared to 49.47% for Trump but the tiny margin between them keeps the chances of winning equal for both nominees.
In Clayton County, absentee ballots are still being counted and election director Shauna Dozier anticipates the counts to be over by Friday morning.
About 3,500 outstanding ballots are being processed there and if they maintained supporting Biden, he will steal the heavily Republican state that has not been won by a Democrat Presidential hopeful since Bill Clinton in 1992.
Georgia has 16 electoral votes and has received 30,000 absentee ballots mostly in favor of Biden (84%).
