With more than 98% of votes reported in Georgia at the time of writing, Joe Biden is now leading Donald Trump in the battleground state, having overtaken the president early on Friday morning.
With Biden only marginally ahead and few ballots left to be counted, Georgia's state secretary, Brad Raffensberger, announced last week that the slim margin between the two candidates is the reason a full recount by hand is now under way in the state.
Gabriel Sterling, George's voting system implementation manager, told reporters: "We are literally looking at a margin of less than a large high school."
A Democratic candidate has not won in Georgia since 1992.
As of Friday afternoon, many major networks have called Georgia's winner Joe Biden, but AP will not call it until the recount is complete.
Georgia popular vote results
Of the nearly five million votes reported in Georgia, here is how the popular vote has gone as of 3:40pm on Friday, according to AP:
