Civil Rights icon and former Rep. John Lewis's (D-Ga.) county in Georgia tipped Democratic nominee Joe Biden into the lead in the state Friday as mail-in ballots many counted from the area broke for the former vice president.
Lewis, who served in Congress from 1987 until his death in July of this year, represented Georgia's 5th Congressional District, which includes the Atlanta suburb of Clayton County.
At about 4:30 a.m. Friday, a release of ballots counted in Clayton County gave Biden a lead in the Southern state of 917 votes. He pushed his lead out to 1,096 votes after another batch of ballot results came in at about 6:00 a.m.
