What happened

A memory card containing uncounted ballots from Election Day was found in Seminole County, Georgia. A post-election check had revealed approximately 388 more voters checked in at polling places than ballots reported as cast. Counting the new votes shifted the still-uncalled State House District 154 race, with Republican incumbent Gerald Greene taking a 262-vote lead over Democrat Harry James, who had previously led by 58 votes.1

The Georgia Secretary of State's office is investigating how the card was overlooked and whether required procedures were followed.1
