According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “an official
recount on Thursday requested by Norwood gave her an additional five votes and
subtracted six from Bottoms. But Bottoms was still more than 800 votes ahead of
Norwood in the race.”
Norwood’s campaign has expressed concerns about some
possible legal issues related to the election process, but hasn’t announced any
plans to file suit at this time.
CBS 46 reported that: “The final numbers show that Bottoms
garnered 46,661 votes, or 50.44 percent; and Norwood got 45,840 votes, or 49.56
percent.”
Bottoms’ inauguration will take place on January 2, 2018.
