UPDATE: Biden Overtakes Trump in Georgia and Pennsylvania Vote Counts

Still thousands of votes left to be counted...

UPDATE: Democrat Joe Biden overtook President Donald Trump in the vote count in Pennsylvania and Georgia Friday morning.

Both races remained too early to call with votes still being counted.

Neither candidate has reached the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House.

Biden leads Trump by nearly 6,000 votes in Pennsylvania and fewer than 1,000 in Georgia, under widespread suspicions of vote fraud in Philadelphia and Atlanta.

It could take several more days for the vote count to conclude in some states, allowing a clear winner to emerge.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: (Headline USA) Democrat Joe Biden is now leading President Donald Trump in Georgia.

By Friday morning, Biden overtook Trump in the number of ballots counted in the battleground, a must-win state for Trump that has long been a Republican stronghold.

Biden now has a 917-vote advantage.

The contest is still too early to call.

Thousands of ballots are still left to be counted — many in counties where the former vice president was in the lead.

Biden’s vote margins grew as counties processed mail ballots cast in his favor.

There is a potential that the race could go to a recount.

Under Georgia law, if the margin between Biden and Trump is under half a percentage point of difference, a recount can be requested.
