WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department on Monday said the United States joined calls from election observers for a full investigation of all reports of election-related violations in Georgia.
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters Washington does not have a final assessment of the results of the election but did not rule out further consequences if the Georgian government's direction does not change.
