Georgia yesterday (November 11) became the first US state to decide to recount all votes in the state in the recent presidential election.

Although the results are not expected to make much difference, this is a sign that the transition of power in the US in the coming time will not be smooth. The post-election battle will be long, as current President Donald Trump continues to increase legal attacks on the election results in the battleground states. Due to the extremely close vote difference, the state of Georgia has just decided to recount 5 million votes by hand to ensure that there is no doubt about who won the 16 electoral votes in this state.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday (November 11), Mr. Brad Raffensperger, the official in charge of foreign affairs of the state of Georgia, announced: "Mathematically, we really have to recount all the votes, by hand, because the difference is so small. Currently, the difference is only more than 14,000 votes. This race is important on a national level. We understand that. We do it, follow the process, and more than anyone else, we understand the importance not only for Georgia but for all Americans. We have to recount the votes by hand to be able to give the most accurate answer to this important race."

According to legal experts,Although litigation is unlikely to change the outcome, but this still more or less increases the pressure on Mr. Joe Biden.

President Donald Trump's campaign team continued to step up its legal battle yesterday with a lawsuit in Michigan. This is the latest in a series of lawsuits that the current US leader has vowed to pursue to the end in the hope of turning the tide. However, officials representing the US bipartisan in dozens of states across the country still affirm that there was no fraud or irregularities affecting the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Not only focusing on using legal tools to turn things around, Donald Trump also drastically reorganized the Pentagon right after the US media announced that candidate Biden was the winner of the race to the White House. The current President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper and a series of officials under his command, replacing them with a new team loyal to him. The situation in the US after the election is in turmoil. The race to the White House has not been completely decided, but has witnessed more dramatic developments, as Mr. Biden's team has begun to take clearer actions.
Biden's transition team announced on November 11 (US time) that Biden has named a longtime aide to be White House chief of staff, Ronald Klain. Klain, 59, will serve as a senior adviser to Biden and help build the Biden administration's leadership team.
The Democratic candidate’s transition team is also considering legal action against the General Services Administration (GSA) for its delay in certifying his victory, as predicted by the US media. While Donald Trump has yet to concede defeat, Biden’s team is urging the head of the US General Services Administration to take the initial steps of the formal transition of power./.
