Tuesday was the deadline for Georgia’s 159 counties to certify their votes. Georgia has until Nov. 23 to certify the state’s results.

Georgia is a key battleground state in the 2024 presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, with 16 electoral votes at stake.

Late Tuesday night, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, R, said at a press conference that "Donald Trump has an insurmountable lead with the number of votes outstanding." "It looks like this is pretty much done," he said. "I think the results are pretty well baked in."

This year, thanks to newly-passed election bill S.B. 189, election officials say the results will be available much sooner than they were in 2020.

Every county in Georgia has certified the results of the 2024 general election, a notable step after some Republican local election board members earlier this year declined to certify other results.
