Georgia's secretary of state expects counting to be done by end of day
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said vote counting in the Peach State will "definitely" be done by the end of the day.
"By midday, we should be pretty much through it. Probably by the end of the day, we'll definitely have it done," Raffensperger told ABC's "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts in an interview Wednesday.
"We had a successful election," he added. "Over 4.8 million Georgians voted, which is also a record turnout for a presidential election."

Once counting is done, Raffensperger said Georgia's election officials will conduct the first statewide audit of paper ballots to help verify the results and "give voters that additional layer of confidence."
"That's very important," he said.
There are 16 electoral votes up for grabs in Georgia, a key battleground state in the race to 270. With 92% of expected vote reporting, ABC News projects Trump currently has a slight lead in Georgia with 50% while Biden has 48%.
