Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden has won a re-run of the polls in the US state of Georgia, calling for more credibility. Vote count was repeated by hand after US President Donald Trump accused him of rigging the vote count.
With this victory, Biden has received 16 electoral representatives from the state.
Biden won the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin and was declared unofficial winner on November 7, with Biden receiving 306 electoral votes after Georgia. President Trump has 232 votes.
270 votes are needed to win the US presidency.
In 2016, Trump won 5 percent more votes in Georgia than Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. But in this year's election, Democrats focused on the state of Georgia.
Georgia's Senate has been up for grabs in both elections, but re-election will take place in January after candidates from both parties failed to get 50 percent of the vote.
In Georgia, for the first time since 1992, Democratic candidate Biden has won. In 1992, Bill Clinton won from here.
