A Georgia secretary of state official is warning that there will be illegal votes in the state, but didn't provide any other details or evidence of it.

Gabriel Sterling, Voting System Implementation Manager at Georgia Secretary of State's office, made the comments Monday during a news conference at the state capitol.

He blamed it on human error, something he says happens in every election.

"Let me be perfectly clear on another point: We are going to find that people did illegally vote. That's going to happen," he said. "There are going to be double voters. There are going to be people who should, did not have the qualifications of a registered voter to vote in the state. That will be found. Is it 10,353? Unlikely. But every election, as I've said I think every day at this podium, is imperfect."

"The issue now is with margins – we are the winner for the closest in the country of 0.2%. When the margins are this tight, every little thing matters. So, this office will thoroughly investigate, and we will work to find ways. We know the system counted properly. We know the ballots that were there were counted properly and correctly. We know that. We're going to have an audit to prove it and it looks like, more than likely, the president will ask for a recount to reaffirm that," he later added.

The Associated Press declared Joe Biden president-elect on Saturday after he surpassed the 270 electoral vote threshold with victories in Pennsylvania and Nevada. The AP has not yet called the race in Georgia, where Biden currently leads Trump by about 10,000 votes.

Recounts rarely change outcomes in races where a candidate leads by thousands of votes.
