Ga. secretary of state says Fulton County had 'issue involving reporting their work' Friday
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger posted on Facebook that Fulton County, the state's largest, "discovered an issue involving reporting from their work on Friday."
The updated vote from Fulton County on Friday night took Biden from an approximate 4,000-vote lead to an approximate 7,000-vote lead. Roughly 5,000 votes were uploaded from the county. The statement from Raffensperger did not specify what the issue was.
"Officials are at State Farm Arena to rescan their work from Friday. The Secretary of State has a monitor onsite, has sent additional investigators, and dispatched the Deputy Secretary of State as well to oversee the process to make sure to thoroughly secure the vote and protect all legal votes. Observers from both political parties are there as well," Raffensperger said in the statement.
ABC News obtained a statement from Fulton County that said after Director of Elections & Registration Rick Barron asked staff to review Friday night's reporting to ensure all provisional ballots were reflected in the reported results, Barron learned that "some ballots were not captured" and "a smaller number (sic) were not scanned."
"Out of an abundance of caution, all provisional, military and UOCAVA allots scanned on Friday, November 6 will be rescanned tonight. The upload made last night will be pulled and replaced with tonight’s rescanned file," the statement continued.- Quinn Scanlan
