Georgia declares Biden winner for a third time

For a third time, Joe Biden has been declared the winner of Georgia's presidential election.

A final tally announced by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger showed that Mr Biden won the normally Republican stronghold by under 12,000 votes.

The state carried out a second recount of the 3 November vote following challenges from President Trump's team.

Mr Raffensperger, a Republican, warned that debunked claims about voting fraud were "hurting our state".

President Trump continues to refuse to accept defeat in the vote, alleging, without evidence, there has been widespread fraud.

"We have now counted legally cast ballots three times, and the results remain unchanged," Mr Raffensperger said at a news conference from Atlanta on Monday.

Keep in mind Georgia's a red state. Can we drop this "election fraud" nonsense now?

Probably not until Trump ‘pops his clogs’.
it’s never been about the validity of the election. Neither Trump, his base, or even the Republican Party actually doubt the validity or legality of the election. It’s about trying to overthrow that election because they didn’t win.
I think the USA will look back at 2016 as it’s last uncontested and accepted election result.
