Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger Opens Investigation After a Seminole County Memory Card Left Out of the Count Flips the House District 154 Lead

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger opened an investigation on November 6th, 2026 into Seminole County’s late upload of several hundred Election Day votes. During routine post-election checks, his office identified approximately 388 more voters recorded as having checked in at polling places than ballots reported as cast. The Seminole County Board of Elections then determined that a memory card containing election results had not been uploaded into its election management system.

The discovery changed the apparent outcome of the race for State House District 154: incumbent State Representative Gerald Greene, who trailed by less than 100 votes, now leads by 262. The investigation will examine how the memory card was overlooked and whether required procedures were followed. “That is unacceptable, and we intend to find out exactly how it happened,” Raffensperger said.
