Georgia will begin recounting votes from the November 3 election again on Tuesday in response to a request from President Donald Trump's campaign, a state official said. The new recount, which is not expected to alter certified results that show President-elect Joe Biden won the election, will end at midnight on December 2, according to Gabriel Sterling, the Georgia official who oversees voting systems. The recount will be conducted by electronic scanners.
Pollster Frank Luntz outlined a "huge problem" in Georgia for Mr Biden.
Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Mr Luntz said: "54 percent of Georgians who voter for Donald Trump now think that Trump won the election.
"That's a real problem going forward for the democracy."
Presenter Piers Morgan added: "I think what has been going on is dangerous and deluded and it's got to stop."

His comments come as president Trump's administration cleared the way for Mr Biden to transition to the White House, giving him access to briefings and funding even as Mr Trump vowed to continue fighting the election results.
Mr Trump has alleged widespread voter fraud in the November 3 election without providing evidence.
Although he did not concede or acknowledge his Democratic rival's victory on Monday, Trump's announcement that his staff would cooperate with Biden's represented a significant shift and was the closest he has come to admitting defeat.
Mr Biden won 306 state-by-state electoral votes, well over the 270 needed for victory, to Trump's 232. Biden also holds a lead of more than 6 million in the national popular vote.
On Monday, the General Services Administration, the federal agency that must sign off on presidential transitions, told Biden he could formally begin the hand-over process. GSA Administrator Emily Murphy said in a letter that Mr Biden would get access to resources that had been denied to him because of the legal challenges seeking to overturn his win.
That means Biden's team will now have federal funds and an official office to conduct his transition until he takes office on January 20. It also paves the way for Mr Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to receive regular national security briefings that Mr Trump also gets.
The GSA announcement came shortly after Michigan officials certified Biden as the victor in their state, making Mr Trump's legal efforts to change the election outcome even more unlikely to succeed.
Mr Trump and his advisers said he would continue to pursue legal avenues but his decision to give Murphy the go-ahead to proceed with a transition for Biden's administration indicated even the White House understood it was getting close to time to move on.
