Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump closed the gap on Demo­c­rat Joe Biden’s lead in Geor­gia on Mon­day by near­ly 800 votes after edg­ing out Biden by a near­ly 2–1 ratio in a batch of 2,600 bal­lots that were dis­cov­ered in Floyd County.

Gabriel Ster­ling, who over­saw the imple­men­ta­tion of the new statewide elec­tion sys­tem for the state, said that the unof­fi­cial break­down of bal­lots was 1,643 for Trump, 865 for Biden and 16 for Lib­er­tar­i­an Jo Jor­gensen. The mis­take hap­pened because elec­tion offi­cials report­ed­ly missed upload­ing a mem­o­ry card con­tain­ing the votes to a bal­lot count­ing machine.

NEW–@GabrielSterling just released the offi­cial vote break­down from the bal­lots pre­vi­ous­ly uncount­ed in Floyd Coun­ty:
Trump–1,643
Biden–865
Jorgensen–16
TOTAL–2,524@FOX5Atlanta
