Yesterday, the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections re-certified Florida A&M University alumna Keisha Lance Bottoms as the winner of the Atlanta mayoral election following a recount requested by her run-off opponent Mary Norwood.

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.
