President Donald Trump’s legal team said on Saturday that his campaign has requested a recount of votes in the Georgia presidential race after results showed Democrat Joe Biden winning the state.

Republican secretary of state Brad Raffensperger on Friday certified the state’s election results, which had Mr Biden beating Mr Trump by 12,670 votes out of about 5 million cast, or 0.25%.
