"This has to stop... someone's gonna get killed": Mr Sterling calls on President Trump to condemn the threats. [Source: BBC]

A US state of Georgia election official has said President Donald Trump will bear responsibility for any violence that results from unsubstantiated election fraud claims he has stoked.

In a fiery statement, Gabriel Sterling, a Republican, said: “It’s all gone too far! All of it! It has to stop!”

Georgia is carrying out a second recount of votes in the state at the Trump campaign’s request.

Democratic president-elect Joe Biden was declared the narrow winner there.
