SOUNDBITE: (English) Brad Raffensperger, (R) Georgia secretary of state:"Once this recount is complete, everyone in Georgia will be able to have even more confidence in the results of our elections, despite the massive amounts of misinformation that is being spread by dishonest actors."STORYLINE:Georgia's top elections official said a machine recount of the roughly 5 million votes cast in the presidential race in the state is on schedule to be completed this week.The recount was requested by President Donald Trump after certified results showed him losing the state to Democrat Joe Biden by 12,670 votes, or 0.25%. Under state law, the losing candidate can request a recount when the margin is less than 0.5%. Trump's campaign formally requested the recount.Counties have until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday to wrap it up. "To be transparent as possible, we'll be releasing the recount results online as quickly as possible," Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday. Under state elections board rules, an official recount must be conducted by machine, specifically high-speed scanners that read and tabulate the votes.State election officials have said that it's possible the results of the recount could be slightly different from the original tally, but they've said it's very unlikely it would be enough to change the overall outcome of the election."Once this recount is complete, everyone in Georgia will be able to have even more confidence in the results of our elections, despite the massive amounts of misinformation that is being spread by dishonest actors," said Raffensperger, a Republican.===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
