Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said an issue with ballot reporting in Fulton County has prompted a rescan of some ballots and the dispatch of a team of investigators to “secure the vote and protect all legal votes.”

Raffensperger, a Republican, did not provide details about the reporting issue or the number of ballots it relates to, but noted in a statement on Saturday that it pertained to ballot processing carried out on Friday, Nov. 6. He said officials at State Farm Arena would “rescan their work from Friday” and that the process would be subject to additional oversight and a probe.
