Overview
- State officials discovered about 388 more voter check-ins than recorded ballots during routine post-election checks, which led them to search Seminole County's equipment.
- Election workers found a memory card that had not been uploaded to the county's election management system and added its votes to the unofficial tally.
- After the upload Republican Gerald Greene moved from trailing to leading by roughly 262 votes over Democrat Harry James in the contested southwest Georgia House district.
- Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger opened an investigation into why the card was missed and whether county procedures were followed as counties face an immediate certification deadline and the state must certify by Nov. 20.
- The change could reduce Democrats' reported seats in the 180-member House from 93 to 92, narrowing their margin and making a pending runoff and every single seat more consequential for control.
