Summary
Georgia election officials began hand-counting randomly selected ballot batches from the June 16 primary runoff as part of a statewide risk-limiting audit. The process requires all 159 counties to hand-count two contests and compare results with machine-reported totals. The Georgia Secretary of State's Office used a public dice-roll process to generate a random number for selecting which ballots to audit. This comes as Governor Kemp signed new recount rules and expanded auditing procedures effective July 1.
