Gwinnett County Finally Certifies Election Results

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — Gwinnett County certified its election results Monday morning after reviewing almost 1,000 more provisional ballots and approving about 700 of them.

Out of 699 votes approved Monday, former Vice President Biden received 407, or about 58 percent. President Donald Trump added 274 and Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen added 18.

Those numbers are consistent with Gwinnett vote totals posted to the county website. Biden finished with 241,827 votes in Gwinnett County, or 58.39 percent of the vote. Trump took 166,413 votes, while Jorgensen received 5,625.

The final count in Gwinnett was stymied by problems with Georgia’s new computerized election system by Dominion Voting Systems, leaving county elections supervisor Kristi Royston to explain technical glitches in a news conference Saturday.

Georgia’s election results statewide, not yet certified, show Biden ahead of Trump by 10,610 votes. As of early Monday afternoon, only 50 of Georgia’s 159 counties had certified their results, according to Atlanta news station WXIA-TV.
